NEWS REPO MAN TRIBUTE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!!!January 13, 2012 We’ve begun work on our newest compilation. It's a tribute to one of our favorite flicks of all time… the 80's cult classic film “Repo Man.” The original soundtrack celebrated the southern California punk movement of the late 70's/early 80's, featuring bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Iggy Pop and others. We'll be tributing this film and soundtrack with some of our favorite indie bands covering those now-classic punk rock tracks. We've been in touch with Alex Cox who wrote & directed the film (great guy!), we’ve tapped Lonny Unitus for the cover art, and we already have some artists on board that we’re super excited about. We’ll share more with you in the coming months so keep an eye out. For a limited time you can pre-order this one at the very special price.
January 1, 2012 We agree, Robin. Our newest tee is F$#%ing AWESOME!!! We love Batman here at American Laundromat Records -- as a matter of fact Joe's ringtone is the original Batman theme song -- so we asked our good friend Lon Unitus (Decemberists, Melvins, Apples In Stereo) to design a new American Laundromat tee featuring the Batman logo. We LOVE it! These are American Apparel poly-cotton tees and they look & feel great! Our tees tend to sell-out quickly so please order asap. If you need a special size (XS or 3XL for example) shoot us an email and we'll try and take care of you.
December 25, 2011 We'd like to wish you and your loved ones the very best this holiday season,
December 16, 2011 "...Several big names turn out to show their interpretations of Moz & Marr’s classics: Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch supplies an easygoing “Reel Around the Fountain”, while Telekinesis provide a raucous cover of “Sheila Take a Bow”. There’s also an unexpected appearance from Sixpence None the Richer with a warm, sunny take on “I Won’t Share You” and a fuzz-drenched rocker version of “Hand in Glove” by The Wedding Present. The best (and furthest straying) of these is Girl in a Coma’s backwoodsy, foot-stomping “Rubber Ring” cover. Surprisingly, it’s the lesser-known names that steal the show: Kitten’s spacey, upbeat take on “Panic”, Cinerama’s sample-peppered, soothingly ambient cover of “London”, and Tanya Donelly and Dylan in the Movies’ soft, heartfelt acoustic version of “Shoplifters of the World Unite” are all showstoppers. Dala’s smoky cabaret cover of “Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me” is possibly more heartbreaking than the original. Mike Viola and The Section Quartet swap heavily tremolo-ed guitars for moody strings on one of the more unique versions of “How Soon Is Now?” laid to record. Listing every solid track’s merits would take too long; there’s hardly a dud among the two-disc set’s 20 tracks. American Laundromat Records has assembled an outstanding and highly varied assortment of Smiths covers for their tribute record. Each and every artist shows a reverence and love towards the material they’re working with; many take respectful liberties with their songs, giving a refreshing take on the music for those who know every lyric by heart and perhaps shedding a new light on the band for those who don’t fall into The Smiths’ cult worship camp." -Austin Trunick, Consequence of Sound
