"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 Check them out at http://thevansaders.bandcamp.com/  ]]> http://killinghorserecords.com/2013/04/30/killing-horse-welcomes-the-vansaders-to-the-roster/feed/ 0 Sick Sick Birds added To The Killing Horse Roster http://killinghorserecords.com/2013/01/28/sick-sick-birds-added-to-the-killing-horse-roster/ http://killinghorserecords.com/2013/01/28/sick-sick-birds-added-to-the-killing-horse-roster/#comments Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:02:00 +0000 Killing Horse http://killinghorserecords.com/?p=1420 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!

New Jersey Hardcore!  Yes, yes, we've been mentioning for some time now, but the now the time is nigh - and you can pre-order it too.  It's been a long wait, but finally The Everymen are ready to debut their 1st full-length release, New Jersey Hardcore.  The official release date is October 9th - but if you can't wait quite that long you'll be able to see them perform live in Brooklyn at Public Assembly with lablemates Secret Country and The Brooklyn What on October 7th.  That's going to be one hell of a night.  More details are available over on the Tour Dates page, and you can buy tickets through TicketWeb.
