TIM009: Hollows "Bobby Blueheart" b/w "Walkaway"
"First single from these Chicago girl-group garage-punkers! Hollows sound like no-one else right now; a swirling mix of girl-group harmonies & melodrama, post-punk throb, psychedelic garage snarl, & punk energy. "Bobby Blueheart" is their yearning ode to a fictional despondent crooner, while "Walkaway" is a plea to a lost love. After releasing an amazing debut LP straight out of the gate last year (available on Addenda Records!), these girls (and guy) are poised to take over the Chicago DIY punk & garage scene! As usual, the first edition of this single is pressed on randomly mixed colored-vinyl, comes with a download code & is housed in the snazzy Trouble In Mind factory sleeve!"

TIM010: The Liminanas "Je ne suis pas tres drogue" b/w "Berceuse pour Clive"
"Trouble in Mind is pleased as punch to be releasing the debut release from French-pop group The Liminanas! Hailing from Perpignan, France (hometown of Trouble In Mind alums Sonic Chicken 4!), The Liminanas serve up a modern-day update on classic French Ye-Ye sounds! "Je ne suis pas tres drogue" is a hypnotic dance number with spoken word passages that conjures up a sweat-soaked go-go dance floor circa 1967, while "Berceuse pour Clive" is a gentle reverb-drenched lullaby. We like to think if Serge Gainsbourg were alive today - he'd still be making music like THIS! The first edition of this single is pressed on randomly mixed-colored vinyl, comes with a download code & is housed in the snazzy Trouble In Mind factory sleeve!"

TIM011: The Mean Jeans "Tears In My Beers" b/w "Cool 2 Drive"
"New single from Portland tardo punks The Mean Jeans! We're talking CATCHY AS HELL punky pop numbers - "Tears In My Beers" is sure to have you crying into the sleeve of your leather jacket, while "Cool 2 Drive" is a rockin' ode to the (illegal) art of the DUI! These guys really breathe some new life into the tried & true punk formula invented by the Ramones with harmonies that would make The Marked Men stand at attention! The first edition of this single is pressed on randomly mixed-colored vinyl, comes with a download code & is housed in the snazzy Trouble In Mind factory sleeve!"

TIM012: Ty Segall "2+2=?", CoCoComa "Messenger", White Wires "That's The Way A Woman Is", Charlie & the Moonhearts "Seven & Seven Is"
4-way split seven inch featuring TIM artists covering some of their favorite songs!!!
"A first for Trouble In Mind! This 4-Way split contains exclusive cover songs from all four artists! San Francisco savant Ty Segall tackles the Bob Seger System's fiery political number "2+2=?", Chicago's CoCoComa rip thru the Wipers' "Messenger", Ottawa's finest the White Wires cover "That's The Way A Woman Is" (popularized by the Ohio Express), & Orange County surf-punx Charlie & the Moonhearts close it out with a banging version of Love's classic "Seven & Seven Is"! This is a one-time pressing of 1000 copies available ONLY at the Trouble In Mind Day Show at SXSW 2010 on March 19th & for Record Store Day this April! This single is pressed on WHITE vinyl, comes with a download code & is housed in a special-edition black & silver version of the classic Trouble In Mind factory sleeve!"

New Trouble In Mind Singles NOW ON SALE!

We are super excited about our newest batch of singles and here is why:

TIM004: Charlie & The Moonhearts "Real Hot Breakers" b/w "My Love is Gone"Just love these Orange County kooks and with this single Mikal, Roland and Charlie have outdone themselves. "Real Hot Breakers" is one of our favorite songs this year... With the punk edge of their Wizard Mountain recordings this surf-inflected pop gem has 3-part harmonies & a chorus that'll melt your heart. This baby promises to stay in your head for days and will make you want to grab your surf board and hit the beach pronto!

TIM006: Wheels on Fire "Bad Lie" b/w "Come On Judy"Wheels on Fire are a great band that have records out on Big Legal Mess and have been covered by the likes of The River City Tanlines. We're psyched to get to put out this single that has TWO really fucking great tracks. Take a little Elvis Costello, pair it with some Reigning Sound and a dash of Stones and you may start to get the picture but, you won't understand the badass-ness 'til you take a listen... or 25.

TIM007: Tyler Jon Tyler "New England Street" b/w "Faster Than Light" We are proud to release the debut single by Chicago's own Tyler Jon Tyler. We can assure you that no other band going sounds like TJT. With a Pony that has traded his drums to play bass upside down, Tom from Daily Void's intricate drum patterns and "new comer" Rebecca's sparse guitar and thoughtful lyrics, their skeletal "less-is-more" sound brings to mind bands like The Clean, Young Marble Giants, & the Raincoats. These songs evoke a time and a place and demand your attention. (Not too mention Ian Adams' Stylophone wizardry on the B-Side)

TIM008: Ty Segall "My Sunshine" b/w "Fuzzy Cat"You may have heard Ty playing the excellent "My Sunshine" on his last tour and this track has the wunderkind getting in touch with his grunge-side (and we mean that in the most awesome way possible.) The B-Side "Fuzzy Cat" is a song with a secret (shh! we've said too much already) that indulges Segall's 'Anglo-philic' tendencies, channeling Roy Wood or Ray Davies' mad pop sensibilities thru his own hazy, reverb-drenched filter!
