Bleeding Gold is happy to annoucne that a compilation album featuring a TAPE WAVES track has been released and we have a few copies for sale at our shop. Very cool multi-color marbled 12″ vinyl in full-color, slimline jackets.
9 track compilation album from Pennsylvania’s HIDDEN GEM RECORDS featuring a track from the TAPE WAVES albun ‘Let You Go’. Other bands included are TEEEL, The Death of Pop, Young Pharoahs, the Skating Party, Night Panther, The Arctic Flow, Moon Pollen and Roman Ruins.
San Diego’s own surf-pop-punks KOOTIES have debuted their first 5 recordings titled ‘Yearbook,” with songs by Ren Rogers and featuring other members of Space Heat. This is a co-release with FIELD TRIPS Collective.
Apache Viking were hatched circa 2009 from members of Newcastle based band Free Diamonds (signed to Deep Elm records in the US), US act Foresake Ya to the Snakes, and the famed Newcastle country band The Devitos.
This unlikely coalition is a jigsaw of pop punk, cartoon lyricism, Russian polka and mid 50’s lo-fi. Instantly Apache Viking were quoted as the best band in Newcastle upon Tyne and ones to watch by BBC 6 music (who have dedicated airplay on many occasions).
Since getting together and recording their first EP late in 2010, Cory Siegler and Marc Merza have kept themselves busy as Lizard Kisses – releasing two cassettes, a single on Beko DSL, two split 7″s (with Florist and My Friend Wallis respectively), a beautiful four track EP entitled ‘Loving Creatures’ and a few digital singles.
Essentially the “band” is Cory Siegler and Marc Merza, with various participants. Lizard Kisses has been a platform for expression, documenting their collaborations with friends – the people they are most inspired by. The “band” is a catalyst to help build friendships and bonds, empower themselves and others to know they have a voice.
The newly released Bleeding Gold 7″ single was completed with the help of Calvin Johnson, Ken Kagami, John Hunter, and Jordan Lee. It has been pressed in an Edition of 150 black vinyls with band-made, hand-numbered covers. The download includes the bonus 3rd track “And The Sun Will Shine For Only Us.”

The heady days of summer may be behind us (or ahead of us if you’re a bit more optimistic) but fear not – US east coast duo Tape Waves are here to add some much needed sunshine to your life. The band released what was undoubtedly one of last year’s stand-out albums in the form of Let You Go, and with the first run of the album now long sold out, the band are releasing a second press run on the ever dependable Bleeding Gold Records.
The re-press comes with a bonus remix of dreamy album opener ‘Slow Days’ and we’re proud to be premiering the track right here.
The remix comes courtesy of fresh faced UK producer Whitely who takes the bright dream pop washes of the original and injects them with a softly pacing tribal drum build before launching into a blissed-out hook of resonating synths and…

Aunt Sis started as the bedroom recording project of Justin Morris, utilizing live vocal looping and melodic guitar progressions to imply something larger. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Aunt Sis now continues this aesthetic as an amplified three piece, with fellow Bleeding Gold members Will Flaugher of Petey, and Justin Hrabovsky of The Sweets.
LIMITED EDITION of 250 pro-dubbed cassettes featuring full-color, 4-panel j-cards and fancy wrap-around outersleeves. ‘9 Tracks’ contains the previously released EP “Winnebago” (Aunt Sis/Blois).
People//Talk formed in a pub in January of 2012 under the original name of So Sexual.
What started out as a few friends who had previously played in bands together thinking that maybe it’d be fun to write a bunch of songs and play a gig (which they did in the space of the first month), has 2 years later proven to have a little more longevity than any of them might have anticipated.
Within that time frame the band now known as People//Talk has developed their own distinct identity, drawing upon elements of post/punk and new wave whilst delivering a contemporary, accessible sound.
For those who are already familiar with and enjoyed the bands previous works as ‘So Sexual’ you will be pleased to find that a change of name doesn’t mean a departure from the overall sound.
CDr pressed in UK with fancy gatefold DIGIPACK jackets.
