So we’ve got three new records coming your way and the first new release is from Druglords of the Avenues. In case you ain’t down, DLA are a pub rock band from the Bay Area fronted by one of our heroes: ol’ Johnny Peebucks of Swingin’ Utters. Druglords don’t have a website or a Twitter account, hell, they don’t even have band promo pics, but their upcoming record is called New Drugs and it’s coming out in May. If you’re into rowdy punk rock like Off! or The Dwarves, this stuff will be right up your dark, sketchy alley. They’ll be playing some shows too (with Leftöver Crack and at Punk Rock Bowling), so pay attention.

Next will be the much-anticipated sophomore album from Red Scare hunks, Elway. Their record is called… drum roll… Leavetaking and it’s coming out in June. It was recorded at Atlas Studio in Chicago with the help of Matt Allison and approximately 510 cans of Busch Light. This is a big release for us and rumors of Elway’s inclusion on this Summer’s “Red Scare Across America” tour are possibly true. Allegedly, if you get my drift. This much we know for sure: you’ll be hearing a lot of great things from Elway in 2013.

And finally we come to the newest addition to the Red Scare family: Milwaukee’s Direct Hit! You’ve heard of “Minnesota Nice”? Well, these kids are a product of “Wisconsin Awesome”. Their upcoming Red Scare debut (set for July) is gonna be called Brainless God and it’s being produced by AAR axeman and world-renowned nice guy, Mike Kennerty. There’s lotsa weird shit and wild concepts happening with this record and you’ll hear about ’em in the coming weeks. Trust us on this one, this’ll be the next Red Scare band you get stoked on, and these charming dirtballs will be touring their asses off this year too.
