We love indie record stores here at GGR…so, when our friends at Hear/Say Magazine mentioned that they had a Pitchfork Music Fest ticket giveaway contest going on with a bunch of indie retailers in the midwest, well, we just had to spread the word….
You can win yourself a pair of weekend passes by stopping into any one of the independent record stores listed here and grabbing an entry form!
Check out this lovely slice of latin soul & hip hop from Pittsburgh guitarist Carlos Pena with a little help from other Steel City musicians: drummer & singer Gene Stovall, MC Billy Pilgrim, and MC/DJ Omar-Abdul. Available here on 7″ only!
Hometown boys Prisoners enlisted GGR to press their new album, Back In The USSA this month — Jason Look and Ron Urch from the band dropped by to check things out and pick up their records when they were finished last week. Check them out when you are in Cleveland, or via their myspace page
We just finished a multi-color run of Broken Circle Records’ new release by the band Discover America entitled Future Paths. There are three different colors available for purchase by clicking here. Check them out!

Hopefully by now you have checked out Victoria, Texas’s Toxic Fuse (the band released a limited edition 7″ pressed by Gotta Groove a couple months back).

The Hold Steady - Clear Vinyl
Unless you have been living under a rock, you should know that tomorrow is Record Store Day. We’re extremely proud to sponsor the event and it’s going to be really fun to see some of the great records we’ve worked on in stores tomorrow.
Two, of special note, are The Hold Steady. This is a fantastic record, and doesn’t officially get released until May 3. Check out the snapshot of the clear vinyl. Less than 700 of these were made.
Also, for St. Louis fans, the fantastic Vintage Vinyl has pressed “Don’t Quit Your Day Job” a compilation of vintage vinyl employee bands. Limited to 300 copies on pink vinyl, we don’t have any sitting around, check out the insert below.
Here in Columbus, Used Kids, Magnolia Thunderpussy and Lost Weekend are all must-drop-bys. In Cleveland, there is a great Walk all over Waterloo, with stops at all of the places to be. More info from Music Saves.
Have an amazing record store day! And let us know what you pick up!
