2016 New Track Roundup
As you all have seen and know I don't operate like a large label or honestly do I promote in the way even smaller labels do with promo packets and estimated markets. I slap stuff online, get super stoked along with everyone else, and go about my day. I realized I've been silently premiering stuff on the fly lately and that I needed to link it all together in one spot, and this is that spot.

Ten Years of TLAL: Part V
If you missed the previous part, feel free to go back to part IV. I'm going to keep up the quick approach and highlight anything particularly exciting or notable. TLAL56 - Charogne Stone - La Main de L'ange 7" Had the chance to work with this talented one man band again so said yes. It has boobs on the cover, not my ideal thought for a record but did not seem to come from a sexist place so was fine with me. TLAL57 - Sidetracked - Uniform 7" I consider... Read more...

Out Now: Sex Prisoner - Demo 7" and test press sale information
Demo 7" by Sex Prisoner You have probably heard their self titled EP, the State Property EP, and most likely you've heard tracks from their three way split with ACXDC and MAGNUM FORCE but before any of that the band recorded a vicious and raw demo that was put out on a limited tape. If you haven't heard any SEX PRISONER then you're in for a treat. They hail from Tuscon, Arizona and from their music it must be an awful place because their music is beyond pissed. They fold...

Ten Years of TLAL: Part IV
If you missed the previous part, feel free to go back to part III. I think I'm going to do a shotgun approach to the rest of the releases as I think I'm going to maybe go crazy and give too much information that is less relevant to anyone's interests. Here are the next batch of releases. Hopefully the lack of pictures or media doesn't disappoint anyone out there.

TLAL 2015 Summer Releases
To bum some of you out, TLAL's 2015 is looking pretty quiet. In that same sense I'm excited to say that some of my favorite labels are picking up some of my slack... Deep Six will be doing the next Cave State EP and A389 will be doing the Sex Prisoner full length. Good news is while not producing as much as I have in the past, I will be putting out some heavy hitters in 2015 and 2016. Very next release I have on the books is Greensboro, NC's... Read more...
