You should have seen the Happy Jawbone Family Band on October 1st, when they pulled every box from their attic and hung colored lights from the ceilings and hid a Santa Claus figurine at the back of every drawer!

HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND - "Hotel Double Tragedy"

I grabbed a stack of Happy Jawbone's vinyl debut from Feeding Tube Records. It's a monumental record (a monument to Pop Music burning down). Like the Family says,

The Hotel Double Tragedy is constantly burning. You will be too with these new
hits from the family! Simply listen to the album at a decent volume and watch your
life fall apart. We were thinking of releasing this album under the pretense that it
was found under the bed of a dead priest who was the grandfather of a couple of
members of the Vaselines, but we thought better of it. You deserve the TRUTH!
You deserve magic in POP ATTITUDE! You deserve ONE ANCIENT JANGLE!
In ten seconds FLAT! You deserve HOTEL DOUBLE TRAGEDY! Get one today
for yourself or for someone you care about.

On gold vinyl with a CD and an insert and everything! Edition of 250, LP+CD, $13 + shipping.

SOLD OUT!

HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND - "Family Matters"

Brattelboro Vermont's Jawbone Family make the jukebox hits of a forgotten generation, or maybe the jukebox hits of a far-off planet. "Family Matters" is 76 minutes of surrealistic nostalgia-pop embedded in a web of electric noise freakouts like diamonds in a mineshaft. Minimal drums and twanging guitars and driving bass lines somehow come together into kind of miraculously well-crafted pop songs, only to be blown to bits by a sloppy-as-fuck guitar solo or Luke and Francis's atonal wailing. This is punk rock like Indiana Jones would make it, bounced off the moon and received in a tin bowl. edition of 100, C76, $5 + shipping.

SOLD OUT!
