The debut release from @rhymies.bsky.social - the electro-pop project of Lauren from Seablite/Neutrals. Totally different but utterly recognisable, this is splendid stuff. The full EP is out next month on @dandyboyrecords.bsky.social

Look out for special guests, stage invasions, dancefloor chaos + more
Still about half of Bandcamp Friday left to go, the perfect day to support your favorite bands and labels! To make it a bit more special this month you can use the code 'slrbcfriday0325' when adding items to your cart to get 10% off the entire SLR catalog. Go wild! slumberlandrecs.bandcamp.com
A quick intro to Slumberland: we're a tiny indie record label that started in 1989 in MD/DC and has resided in Oakland, CA since 1992. We've mostly focused on indiepop but SLR has also released power-pop, punk, shoegaze, post-punk, etc. Stubbornly uncool.

The biggest thank you to all who have checked out my @artsickband.bsky.social chat. I had to upgrade my subscription as I couldn’t bear the ads. If you’ve yet to give it a read it’s never looked better: heavymetalkids.music.blog/2025/02/10/a...

Hi all. It’s a huge deal to publish my chat with @riley-riley.bsky.social from Bay Area fuzz pop duo @artsickband.bsky.social today. The band have just released a vital new single to raise funds for The Trevor Project, so there was absolutely no better time to link up…
On Feb 7, Bandcamp will be donating 100% of our proceeds to MusiCares to provide emergency aid for artists in need, partnering with A2IM, WIN, Harman, Lagunitas, Roland, Shure, Victrola, and Women in Music to amplify the effort. Mark your calendar & spread the word. https://bit.ly/4gt9ka4

BREAKING: President Trump just signed into law the Laken Riley Act, which will require immigrants to be detained with no due process based on an accusation of a non-violent crime.
This is a dangerous bill that violates our Constitutional rights.
Volunteering with 6th graders this am. Cool kids… getting in touch with their emotions through guitar sounds.

DC area, just a few more days! The SLR 35 live show is February 1st at Comet Ping Pong and features a rare appearance by early SLR faves Lorelei, joined for the night by Jeanines and Lightheaded. The show is at 10pm, it's all-ages, and tickets are on sale now!
Trans people deserve the freedom to be ourselves — not who the Trump administration wants us to be.
This is not ok.
This is no B-team, btw. Don’t fall for @neutrals.bsky.social’s modesty, this show is going to blaze.
Delighted to see @rylitheband.bsky.social joining the Bluesky indiepop party. The band’s new single for @dandyboyrecords.bsky.social is an absolute gem, I wrote a few words about it here…
