PopKid / Brassneck / Rad Girlfirend / Waterslide (2023)
I have mentioned a few times this year that I hadn't bought as many new records as I have in the past and that I've had a hard time finding those albums that I really connect with. So I decided to do something about it. PopKid Records is back for 2023 and we teamed up with friends far and wide to release the new Shoplifter album.
We're putting up the album for preorder today (don't worry, I have them in hand and the release date is in two reeks on October 20th) and to celebrate that I'm writing a little bit about the record, though just a bit to start.
The picture you see above isn't the actual artwork, this is the alternate cover for the test pressing that the labels and bands got. It's very cool, but the actual artwork looks even better. I've never been a huge test pressing guy, but of course the PopKid ones are very near and dear to my heart.
The record is really wonderful. Tight, catchy, melodic punk rock that makes me smile every time I listen to it. I'm going to take a picture of the actual record and write a bit more about it in two weeks, but I wanted to put up a little something special in honor of the preorder kicking off today.
Please check it out and I hope you love it as much as I do. Or at least like it enough to buy a copy. Also, it's Bandcamp Friday, so there really isn't a better day to buy it from me if Bandcamp is your scene.
