Killing Horse Records is happy to announce the addition of The Vansaders to the KHR roster. These strapping young lads from Brooklyn have been impressing the shit out of us and we can’t wait to put out their record. Keep an eye out for Stuck In New York City to come out this summer.

“The Vansaders walk the line of rowdy and refined. Their bourbon-soaked blend of punk, country and straight-up rock ‘n’ roll is the type of sound that’d easily be the soundtrack to any heavy night of drinking at your local dive bar with a group of close pals as well as those lonesome nights of drinking by yourself.

Their music has moments of heart and heartbreak, of celebration and solitude. It’s the type of music Mike Ness would raise a shot to while shooting a look of “hey these guy are good” over to Johnny Cash. And in today’s alt-rock musical culture which keeps racing towards becoming the second coming of New Wave; listening to The Vansaders is both refreshing and exciting.”  – Pop-Break.com

Killing Horse Records is psyched to announce that we have added one of Baltimore’s best bands Sick Sick Birds to the KHR roster.  In 2012 Sick Sick Birds released Gates Of Home, an 11 song full-length of well crafted, catchy indie punk awesomeness.  We heard it, thought it rocked, and are now going to be bringing it to you in CD format for five freaking bucks!  Look for Gates of Home coming to a CD player near you in early March, and be on the lookout as Sick Sick Birds make their way up north to celebrate the release!  We’ll keep you posted as always, but for now you get to rock out to the opening track, “Pick and Choose”.  Rock on!

What the hell did I just say?  Maybe I just clued you in to the most hap-hap-happening show since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny Fucking Kaye!  Alright, enough with the metaphors and clutch film references.  This Wednesday, New Jersey bends Brooklyn over and make her his bitch when The Everymen open up for Titus Andronicus at Brooklyn Bowl!  This is going to be one hell of a rocking show.  Doors are at 6:00PM, show starts at 8:00PM.  Tickets and more info can be found on Brooklyn Bowl’s site.

Titus Andronicus “In A Big City”

The Everymen “Coney Island High”

Happy New Year folks!  So according to very complicated mathematical computations that I just did with my fingers, turns out we’ve been around for THREE YEARS.  Yeah, I don’t understand how we’ve lasted this long either.  Probably has something to do with high pain thresholds and masochistic tendencies – but that’s not really important.  What is important is that we’ve made yet it another year and we feel like celebrating.  We want you to come celebrate with us, so we put a party together and YOU’RE INVITED.  Hooray!  It takes place this Saturday, January 12th at Maxwell’s in Hoboken.  This years celebration features our 6 active artists, TV Sound, Cold Fur, Cicada Radio, Life Eaters, The Everymen, & Secret Country.

Speaking of Secret Country, they have their own reasons to celebrate – they are debuting their 2nd full-length album, From The Barroom To The Bedroom, so Saturday mean double party time for everyone!  Fantastic!  Doors are at 7:30PM, cover is $10.  Come out early, and plan on staying late – which means pace yourself at the bar.  It’s a long night, so stay away from shots until at least Life Eaters.  Trust me, it’ll work out for the best.

Alright, that’s all for now – hope to see you on Saturday.  More details on the show here.  If you can’t wait until Saturday, or can’t make it, From The Barroom To The Bedroom is on sale in the Killing Horse Store, and ordering it today will land you an instant download of the whole album.  So maybe go do that.

Because here it is…the long awaited 2nd Full-Length release from Secret Country, From The Barroom To The Bedroom.  Featuring 10 tracks of sizzling guitar leads, lush harmonies, and lyrics written by a lush, this is hands down Secret Country at their best.  A perfect record to drink to, pre-order your copy today and download the lead single “Night of Whiskey” instantly!  The perfect track for your end-of-the-world mix for Friday night.  Secret Country will be delivering these songs and more to your wanting ears on Saturday, January 12 at Maxwell’s in Hoboken for the record release.  Be there, and please don’t be sober.
