Pre-order SPRAYNARD’s new 7” EP, “Exton Square”

“Funtitled” has also been repressed on mixed colored vinyl (limited to 500). Click here and grab that, too!
Pre-order JOYCE MANOR’s “Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired”
Joyce Manor’s 2nd full length emerged after weeks in a dimly lit, hazy recording session with producer Jack Shirley. The few surviving witnesses reported having heard extended jam sessions, which purportedly included a savage 16-minute medley of “Smothered in Hugs” and “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” among other hellish dirges. When a haggard courier arrived months later at Asian Man’s doorstep, handing us the master copy of the record with his last breath, what was discovered were nine gems of dulcet guitar pop and cathartic punk.
First pressing of 500 blue, 500 white, and 500 black records.
Limited-edition T-Shirt, tote-bag and sweatshirt available only through pre-order!
Colored vinyl package deals are limited to the first 150 orders.

Releases from KEPI GHOULIE, DAN POTTHAST, GREG ATTONITO and SHANTI WINTERGATE.

MIKE PARK is launching a new record label specializing in children’s music, called FUN FUN RECORDS. Click here to like FFR on Facebook!
Brutal is the best description for this band. PRIMARY features members of GNARBOOTS, SHINOBU, and THE PILLOWFIGHTS. All members grew up going to Mormon school and this is them playing crusty hardcore versions of the songs they learned in school.
The 7” is called “ARMY OF HELAMAN” and it comes on random colored vinyl. We made 500 and it’s a one time pressing that will be sure to go down as a cult classic.
We are going to put out the new record for a band called THE ATOM AGE. Have you heard them? They hail from Oakland, CA. and consist of 5 young men playing horn tinged rock and roll heavily influenced by ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT. Think of a 1960’s punk band like the SONICS revving it up to the 21st century and you’ll have a good grasp of what the ATOM AGE are all about. It’s rare to see young guys influenced by this sound.
The new album is called “THE HOTTEST THING THAT’S COOL”. It’s going through the finishing stages of completion, but we hope to have this thing out this summer. Followed up with a lot of touring. We put up a little teaser track(rough unmastered version) for you to listen to here!
Here is the cover for JOYCE MANOR’s new record, “Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired”. The track listing is as follows…
- These Kind of Ice Skates
- Comfortable Clothes
- See How Tame I Can Be
- Drainage
- Video Killed The Radio Star
- If I Needed You There
- Bride of Usher
- Violent Inside
- I’m Always Tired

Hey Gang!
So, yesterday I mentioned that we would have some news to share. Here it is:
WE”RE GOING ON ANOTHER TOUR
The tour will be done in two 3-week legs, the first one covering the West coast, some Midwest, and some CANADA!!! The second will cover the South, East Coast, some more Midwest, and MORE CANADA!! Today we are going to talk about the first leg:
We are incredibly lucky to be touring with Laura Stevenson & the Cans and ROAR for this leg, and we look forward to hanging out and playing music with them for three weeks.
We are going to be touring with a full band this time. We have enlisted 3 of our amazing friends who played on Knife Man to come help us out live, they are Deacon Blue Batchelor, Owen Evans, and Preston Bryant. These guys also make up %75 of ROAR (hint, Ben is the other %25). Worry not though, purists, we will still play plenty of songs as an acoustic 2 person band for a portion of the set.
One last thing, we are currently assembling a new collection of songs that we have released but are now out of print or hard to find. Fingers crossed that this will come out by the tour. I think we can do it.
A few notes about the shows:
-> Before our 21+ show in Seattle, we are working on finding a place to do an all ages matinee show
-> We are ever grateful to be sharing the stage in Omaha with the amazing Cheap Girls
-> The show in San Diego is a benefit for the Che Cafe
Thank you for reading, we will have ticket links and the second leg up very soon.

Hello friends!! It’s time for the 4th annual KEPI GHOULIE VALENTINE. In years past, we’ve always limited this to 300 and it usually sells out within a couple days. This year, we’re making 1,000 valentines to appease everyone. For those of you who don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, here’s the info: You receive a limited edition KEPI VALENTINE in a rose red envelope. The card is 5 X 10 with a beautiful full color painting by KEPI as the cover. We ship these in another envelope, so the valentine envelope is clean as a whistle. Included inside are 2 brand new love songs by KEPI titled 1.CUPID and 2.I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW. These are not CD-R’s. These are high quality factory manufactured CD’s that we have made where all of our CD’s are made.
The price is ridiculous. Just think about the crappy valentine cards they sell in stores? They charge like $5 for just a card. If you really want to impress somebody, then get this KEPI valentine now. Even with 1,000 in hand, this will sell out. We will start shipping these Next Friday JAN. 27th, so you’ll receive it in plenty of time.
These are now available at the Asian Man webstore for only $2.99! Click here to order one or seven for your loved ones today!
here’s the front cover for our new EP coming out in March. the photo is by Evan Demianczyk. if you get the chance… meet Evan… it turns out he is an angel sent down by Joe Strummer himself.
PREORDER THE NEW CLASSICS OF LOVE LP!!!
