GRMLN

Today we have a Indie Rock, Pop, and Noise band, GRMLN. Originally started in 2010 as just a one project founded by Yoodoo Park. He is from California and was born in Kyoto, Japan. His debut EP, "Explore" was released in 2012. By 2013 GRMLN had became a band with a drummer and bassist to complete the lineup and then release a full length album titled "Empire" which had some punk pop vibes and all that good stuff. GRMLN's latest album is 2014's "Soon Away" with hopefully another one on the way soon. Their new single "Night Racer" came out in 2016 so keep on the lookout for new GRMLN. All albums released through these guys have been with indie label Carpark Records. Side note, these guys have vinyl of about all of their work!

PEARL JAM "Vs." Vinyl

Today on Vinyl we have rock band, Pearl Jam's second album, "Vs." from 1993. This album is a great follow up from their amazing debut album, "Ten". The cd album cover is a little different from the vinyl variation. I will picture it below. First, this 2016 pressing is done with 180g vinyl and sounds great going around the groove. The vinyl is housed in a gatefold jacket and comes with with a lyric sheet with art on one side and photographs of the band on the other. I personally love this album, I picked this vinyl at Barnes and Noble, I got the cd a thrift store, and I also was able to find this album on cassette at a flea market in Delaware. You can get almost anything Pearl Jam on vinyl whether its singles or albums. Their library of music is something worth digging deeper in. Well lets take a look at this vinyl.

This is the cd cover version.

Here is the first track on this album!

Pearl Jam - Go

ALLISTER "Last Stop Suburbia" Vinyl

Today's Monday so that means we bring out another vinyl to show. The vinyl this week is pop punk band Allister's third album from 2002 "Last Stop Suburbia" on a beautiful Red Starburst vinyl LP. This is out of a limited pressing of 200 records re-issued by Mutant League Records (Indie Chicago label). The original pressing came from Drive Thru Records (New Found Glory). All three guitar and bass players share lead and backing vocals throughout the album. "Last Stop Suburbia" did land them on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums charts in the number 9 spot. This band was popular but never really huge and maybe you haven't heard of them, but if you are into Pop Punk then I would recommend giving Allister a listen. In total their discography spans 5 albums from 1999 to 2012. It doesn't seem like Allister isn't much of a band anymore with most of the band mates doing their own things now, but maybe out of nowhere they will announce something. Well lets take a look at this pretty vinyl and finish with a track from it.

Has the shrink wrap on it still

VANISHING LIFE

Today we have a pretty new alternative/punk band, Vanishing Life. Although the band is new, the members aren't new to music with the lead singer Walter Schreifels from Quicksand and even the guitarist Zach Blair of Rise Against. I would relate these guys to Deftones in a way. 2016 brought out their debut album, "Surveillance"with 13 tracks released through Dine Alone Records. There are a handful of songs on here that are worth a listen like Realist, Outlier, People Running, and Seven Pointed Star. Hopefully we get to see a follow up in the future from these guys. Well lets take a listen!

Vanishing Life - The Realist

Vanishing Life - Outlier
