From www.popkid.com:
First up is that our friends from Davis, CA have unleashed their long lost full length album into the world. You may remember Playground from PKD001, the If You Were Me 7". It's the record that started it all for PopKid. Playground was also meant to be one of the first bands to release a full length for PopKid in 1996. No Angel was recorded and ready to go, but the band split and the record just disappeared.
It's a crime, because this album is so completely phenomenal. If you are even remotely into Jawbreaker influenced melodic punk rock, this record is essential. The sounds of the 90's are experiencing something of a renaissance these days, but No Angel isn't a throw back. It's an authentic piece of 1996 finally available to hear.
Playground has put this up on Bandcamp as a pay what you want download. We strongly urge you to check it out. In a perfect world, we would love to have this released on vinyl as well. If the demand is there or if any other labels want to step up and co-release it, maybe that's something that can happen.
In other, slightly more cryptic news, unless something changes PopKid records will officially be back this year. We are planning to release a full length vinyl record from one of our very favorite current bands. It's a co-release with some other tremendous record labels and we cannot wait to tell you more about it. PopKid records is 21 years old in 2015. We feel old, but we're getting back in the game!
