OUT NOW - NANOX!
From the Land of the Rising Shit Sandwich, we present our second record in S.S.'s International Series (insert shitake mushroom pun here). NANOX delivers awesome, quirky, keyboard driven, neo wave Japanese-ness in the vein of early XTC. Three songs that make me want to use words like 'angular' to describe music. And the cover is kick ass too. 100 on ice blue vinyl for mailorder only - LIMIT ONE PER CUSTOMER.
ORDER NOW!

 
 

TYRADES and FINAL SOLUTIONS BACK IN STOCK.
Spring cleaning at the palatial Shit Sandwich Estate has unearthed a hidden stash of Tyrades and Final Solutions singles, both of which have been out of stock for some time. There aren't many copies on hand, so order now while you've got the chance.

   
 

TEST PATTERNS 7" OUT NOW.
Yes! Exciting punk rock / power pop action from the Test Patterns. Featuring ex- and current members of Gito Gito Hustler and the Radio Beats, The Test Patterns are bound to appeal to fans of Radio Shanghai and later-period Registrators, or anybody who loves fast, catchy punk rock.

ORDER NOW - first 100 copies on pink/black spattered vinyl for mailorder only. Colored vinyl sold out, thanks.

 
   
 

OPERATION S 7" OUT NOW.
For our first release of 2007, we're going international. It's OPERATION S, from France, featuring ex-members of the much beloved No Talents. Ooh la la, sexy rock n roll, just liked you'd expect from the country that invented tongue kissing.

ORDER NOW

 
   
 

BABY SHAKES 7" out NOW!
Like their buddies the Busy Signals, the Baby Shakes' first single came out on Atlanta's Douchemaster Records, who have sold through three pressings in less than a year. People can't get enough of what the Baby Shakes got, which is sugar-sweet yet razor-sharp Nikki Corvette-style rock and roll. Shit Sandwich is proud to present to you the second Baby Shakes 7", which is another surefire hit.

Buy! Buy! Buy!!.

 
   
 

SUBMARINE RACES 7" out NOW!
Well worth the wait, too. Quirky pop songs from the new Chicago combo featuring Ian from The Ponys. Three tracks exclusive to this release, including a Minutemen cover. This time the limited edition colored vinyl is brown, and as always it's available on a first-come, first-served basis only through Shit Sandwich mail order.

Order now. Now!.
