We have the perfect music to finish out your summer and you can download it today! Pre orders are now up for our Everyone Everywhere / Into It. Over It. split 7 inch which comes with an immediate download of the album. It comes with four awesome tracks, one original and one cover from each band and they cover a track from each other. This album has been on repeat since we got the masters and I really hope that it's the same for you!

Recently, Kevin was hit by a car while riding his bike and got hurt pretty bad. Check it out here and help Kyle from Pianos Become The Teeth and myself welcome him to the "Fake Teeth Club." Feel free to send him some love to @kevinduquette on Twitter since he can't walk right now and needs some distractions from day-time TV on his parents' couch.

Topshelf & Protagonist to Release Big Kids Debut LP Thu, May 13, 2010
We've been fortunate enough to add a group of amazing bands to the Topshelf roster recently and today we add another! Honestly, these last few months have been nuts. I don't even think Kevin sleeps anymore.

We've teamed up with Protagonist Music (Algernon Cadwallader, Teenage Cool Kids) to release Oakland, CA's Big Kids debut full length. Their debut album titled Hoop Dreams will be out June 29th and will include nine awesome tracks. Featuring members of Spires (Inkblot Records), Big Kids have created an album that sounds like a cross between Knapsack and Bear vs. Shark. The band has a new track called "Get Motion!" streaming on their myspace and will be playing Fun Day All Day in Oakland, CA on July 3rd which features Dead To Me, 1994!, Towers and more. Summer tour dates, cover art, and pre orders will be coming soon!

Topshelf Summer Plans: New Signings, New Releases Mon, May 10, 2010
Yello! We've got a jam-packed summer of awesomeness ahead of us and are excited to announce a new release from Aeroplane, 1929, as well as the addition of Castevet, Everyone Everywhere, Into It. Over It., and Lion Cub to our roster.

Two years after releasing The Holy Ghost, Aeroplane, 1929 return with their strongest release to date and long awaited full length, Attic & Cellar. Absolutepunk.net claimed The Holy Ghost to be "Nothing short of inspirational." Hailing from New England, Aeroplane, 1929 promises touring in support of the release as more details will be announced shortly.

Two releases with Into It. Over It. (Chicago, IL) featuring Evan Weiss (formerly of The Progress, Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start, It's A Kling Thing, etc.) are planned which will be the last two releases for his ambitious Twelve Towns series. The first of which was with Bob Nanna (Hey Mercedes, Braid, City on Film) and Lauren Lo and released by Evil Weevil Records. Each release will be a split 7 inch. The first, titled Snack Towns, will feature new tracks from Into It. Over It. and Chicago's Castevet. The second split will include new tracks from Into It. Over It. and Everyone Everywhere who hail from Philadelphia, PA. IIOI will be heading over to tour the UK and Europe with Grown Ups this week. You can also listen to a new track from the Twelve Towns Series titled Orlando, FL as well as view a new music video for the track 22 Syllables on the IIOI myspace today.

Finally, we will be releasing the debut Full-Length from Massachusetts' Lion Cub entitled Seneca. Lion Cub features former members of La Guillotine and current members of Aeroplane, 1929. Expect more details and tour dates for all bands coming soon!
