PRESS!! What is being said about our recent releases: Part 1

F/NF 021F/NF 022F/NF 023

F/NF 021: The Super Vacations - ‘Heater Pt. II’ LP

“Lots of fuzzy, chiming and angular guitars and always a big chorus. It’s got a slacker feel of an Archers of Loaf record, sinewy guitars of Edsel, a sandblastedness of Swervedriver and a weirdness of Shudder to Think. Heater is twelve songs that never lets up off the accelerator.” - Finest Kiss

“One minute and forty seconds of rock, roll, psychedelic bliss, and a touch of snark. The Super Vacations release The Heater Part II today and “El Rey” is one of the singles. What will you think? Hell, I don’t know what you’ll think. I know what I think. The haze and feedback combine with the vox to make the most punk leaning shoegaze track I’ve ever heard. It’s not even shoegaze really, I just don’t know what the hell else to call it.” -Sirens Of Decay

“Indie rock smearing all the colours coming outa your mom’s Virginia = The Super Vacations.” - Gold Soundz

“Virgina’s Super Vacations pack up their last three singles along with a handful of new material and crank it out into a gas fumed heater of an album that’s got them sounding more cohesive, more vicious and more virulent than ever before. The tracks writhe and rumble in equal measures with unruly kinks of rhythm driving the record at a solid pace that’s kept in check by oilslicked guitar lines and the dark shaded vocals of Rob Ulsh. The album is certainly more concise than their past two, clocking it at only twelve tracks vs. the sixteen and twenty-one that made up their previous efforts, and that compact punch keeps it from losing any steam, instead kicking the best bits into your skull with appropriate force.” - Raven Sings The Blues

Order F/NF 021: The Super Vacations - ‘Heater Pt. II’ Now!

F/NF 022: Invisible Hand -‘Aja’ EP/LP

Party. Drugs. Party. Drugs. Party. Drugs” - YVYNYL

The EP blends in elements of indie rock with throwback melodies from the 60’s and 80’s, giving the record an old school, retro feel and a record that you’ll be sure to pushing ‘Repeat’ on over and over.” - Music Box Pete

“Funny / Not Funny Records is releasing a new 12″ 45 from Invisible Hand, who sound as good, if not gooder than ever. It’s available on pre-order and, as troo fans prolly already know, early birds enter a raffle for a test pressed worm.” - Nailgun Media

“”Psychic Cat” was a caffine jolt…” - NYCTaper

Pre-Order F/NF 022: Invisible Hand - ‘Aja’ Now!

F/NF 023: The Demon Beat - ‘Less is Less’ LP

…in their new single, “Teenage Wasteland.” It’s all there: the classic rock shirts and stiff upper lips, the gum-chewing, shaggy-haired boys with downcast eyes, and the pizza…oh, the pizza. Caught in a teenage dream somewhere between the reality of basement rock in simpler times and the powerful mirage of dirt’s better qualities, The Demon Beat surf their pepperonis in a psychedelically scrumptious, super-fun music video so simple and bright, it’s hard to describe. These boys have already won (or lost) the poker game – they’re stripped of anything but a good time.” - Impose Magazine

The Demon Beat’s “Teenage Wasteland” may call back to the Who’s “Baba O’Riley” in title, but it doesn’t even come close in sound: it’s a thrash of melodic garage rock, with a thumping bass line, hoarse vocals, and some terrific guitar playing. It’s a three minute shot of teenage lovesickness and rebellion, and it will stick in your head for days musically…” - Speakers in Code

“Easy riding party rock straight out of the mountains of West Virginia.” - Columbus Alive

You all know I love my rock n’ roll given to me with a nice little punch in the face, which is exactly how I feel with this new jam just released by The Demon Beat.Austin Town Hall

“Known for their direct delivery and no-flack attitude, The Demon Beat embodies the energy and soul typically associated with rock music, resonating a sense of respect for the whole spectrum of the genre rather than exuding an arrogant outlook.” - The Daily Athenaeum

PRESS!! What is being said about our recent releases:

F/NF 018: Cinnamon Band - Black Love / Tough Love 7”

“It’s pop, but it’s stripped-down, raw but lightly produced, and filled with a southern-tinged style of vocals set to harmony.” - FencePost



F/NF 017: The Diamond Center - California / Bells 7”

““California” features a sea of fuzzy and swirling guitars, scattered carefully between the gorgeous and blissful vocals that sound masked by a glowing veil of smoke.” - The Styrofoam Drone

““California” quickly — I’m talking instantaneously — became my favorite Diamond Center song. ” - You Hear That ?!?

““California” starts out sounding every bit of the Old West; a little dark and gloomy, a little sinister – midnight campfires, shadows cast everywhere by the full moon.” - SIRENS of DECAY

“The Diamond Center are purveyors of very fine lush, shimmering neo-psychedelia.” - The Mad Mackerel



F/NF 016: The Demon Beat / Elephant Child Split 7”

“Both tracks [Teenage Wasteland & Under the Bridge pt. II] look to knock you right on your ass, coming together with heavy, crunchy guitars and a solid, hard rocking attitude.” - The Styrofoam Drone

“If you’re a fan of heavy hitting, distortion filled garage rock, then this effort is just perfect for you!” - MusicBoxPete

“This is not funny: The Demon Beat slay on new split release.” - WVRockscene



F/NF 015: Naked Gods - No Jams LP

“You probably haven’t yet heard of Naked Gods, but that may soon change.” - Verbicide Magazine

“The opening 32 seconds of No Jams‘ opening track “Teenage Colony” is more than enough to get you hooked on Naked Gods.” - FencePost

“North Carolina beard-pop band Naked Gods keep it realz yo’. Foot tapping music. Yeyeeee.” - Gold Soundz
