Media: Happy Holidays from PNR

Posted by adam on Friday, December 15, 2006 at 4:00 PM (EST)

The mystery men behind Punknews Records would like to wish you a happy holidays and are giving the gift of music. You can now play both of the label's releases in their entirety here at the Org. You can stream Somerset's latest full length Pandora and Ryan's Hope's epic Apocalypse in Increments at the bands' respective band pages. As a bonus we're thrown up Ryan's Hope's cover of the Misfits' "I Turned Into A Martian" as well. To top it all off, head over to the Punknews Records MySpace page to hear Somerset "completely and obnoxiously massacre" (that's their own words) the Christmas classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

If you like what you hear, feel free to scoot over to DownloadPunk where both albums are on sale for 7.99 (and DRM-free of course).

Happy Holidays from PNR!

Someone (December 15, 2006)

the bands on this label suck. So does the label. Why does everyone and their cat have to start a label?

GlassPipeMurder (December 15, 2006)

tripwire desire by somerset is so catchy.

SloaneDaley (December 15, 2006)

personally if I had a band that was looking to get signed I'd wanna get signed by PNR because for the most part atleast I know the guys that run it aren't douche bags, they have decent distro, good taste, and appear to have good connections.

thanks for the streams, and the well wishes even if I don't celebrate much of anything.

To be fair, I am kind of a douchebag.

this wins the thread

skaboom (December 15, 2006)

Haha, yikes. They did butcher that song. They start every line a half beat too early, it boggles my mind.

If I recall correctly they recorded it while recording Pandora and it was in the initial batch of songs we got from those sessions. Scott wanted to cut "House of Knives" and include it, but he was outvoted.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

Yeah, they did start every line early. It sounds cool (well, like a CD skipping, really) but feels really, really off.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

the instruments are playing in 7/4 during the verses, n00b

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

So who's celebrating Chanukah tonight?

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

Me.

Atheist Jews unite!

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

Except I'm agnostic.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

Well, there are a lot of agnostic Jews too- I don't discriminate. Or, really, differentiate.

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

This isn't an attack on you (or any other atheists for that matter), but somewhere along the line, it hit me that the same way there's no proof that there is a higher being, the idea that there isn't one is equally unsubstantiated (albeit a bit more logical).

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

That's actually more or less my opinion too, but I still lean more towards the atheist side of things.

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

Yeah, I'm definitely more on that side of the spectrum.

Anyway, happy Chanukah.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

Happy Chanukah!

Someone (December 15, 2006)

i do need a reason to drink tonight.

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

The fact that it's Friday isn't enough? That's always been my justification.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

The "I Turned Into A Martian" cover is awesome.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

Chanukah > Christmas

Ah, but Descendents>All.

Sorry, Milo's just got what the others don't.

Someone (December 15, 2006)

Bullshit! Chanukah is actually somewhat of a rip-off of Christmas, i.e. that it used to be a minor holiday until Christmas became a major deal, the Jews "increased" its significance to compete. Look it up.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

OMGZ RLY?1!1!!

Because, you know, everyone in the fucking universe doesn't already know that.

Chanukah has almost no religious significance at all. And it's not like Christmas wasn't blatantly stolen from pagan traditions.

Someone (December 15, 2006)

easter was the big christian holiday until the marketing people went apeshit with trying to sell toys and whatnot. christmas is no different than valentines day really

Someone (December 15, 2006)

But Easter SHOULD still be the more important holiday. Christmas is for kids.

dev (December 15, 2006)

Sure, Easter's the time motherfucka rose from the motherfuckin dead. I mean fuck that, if that ain't worth a celebration then get the fuck out...

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

ORLY!!!!11!

dev (December 15, 2006)

Careful now... this is how wars start nowadays.

allison_le_gnome (December 15, 2006)

Internet wars? I'll risk it.

dev (December 15, 2006)

sure, internet wars

Someone (December 15, 2006)

While we're at it...

Palestinians > Israelis

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

I was born Jewish, but I really dislike religion in general.

However...

I love Christmas more than just about anything. The general atmosphere around this time of year is awesome. Call me a sappy motherfucker, but I love it.

MrStylson (December 15, 2006)

lewis black would beg to differ

Someone (December 15, 2006)

Why aren't there any punk bands on punk news records? Thats kind of strange...

rkl (December 16, 2006)

kind of like the whole "Why isn't there any punk news on punknews.org?," this question is better left alone.

mcgregor107 (December 15, 2006)

pfftt.. who supports labels anyway?
thanks for the stream, sucker!! (Ryan's Hope is a good listen)

un1tyasone (December 15, 2006)

how drunk were they for recording the christmas song?

David_Arquette (December 15, 2006)

Hahahaha this cover is awesome.

Cap'n Jazz's "Winter Wonderland" might beat this for funniest bad Christmas cover, though.

boba_fett (December 16, 2006)

ryan's hope really are the shit. i cant get enough of their 2 albums.
