Topshelf vs No Sleep
The wait is over! We are proud to announce what I hope will be the first in many collaborations with our good friend Chris at No Sleep Records.
Topshelf Records vs No Sleep Records: 2,995 Miles Between Us is a 20-song limited compilation featuring new, unreleased, and rare songs from both roster’s families. Inside every compilation is a code for a bonus 50-song digital download for free, plus a chance to score a ~golden ticket~ which could win you such extravagant prizes as a No Sleep (or) Topshelf 2012 vinyl subscription, label merch, etc..
The record will be available May 22nd, exclusively at select Hot Topic locations (we’ll have the full list as soon as we get it from Hot Topic).

Duck. Little Brother, Duck! is probably my favorite up-and-coming band. This is an unreleased new song of theirs and it’s a lot more raw and aggressive than most of their other stuff but I can’t stop listening to it.
Tour Help!!!!
Arizona(6/24), New Mexico(6/25), New Orleans, LA(6/28), Georgia(6/30), North Carolina(7/2), Washington D.C.(7/4), Vermont(7/11).
Can you help us?!?!?Here is a picture of Reid from last summer on tour. Doesn’t it look like he is having fun with us? Help this poor kid have fun again, while he drives us around the country, getting sketch in his van.
Do it for Reid.

Topshelf & Duck. Little Brother, Duck!
Hello! We’re excited to announce something that feels like it’s been in the works foooorevvvverrrr (pretty accurate, actually). We’ll be releasing Duck. Little Brother, Duck!’s first physically available [on vinyl] full length and follow up to their stellar 2010 self-released digital full length “Survival Is Not a Workout”. The new record was self-recorded, mastered by Carl Saff and will be available this July.
The band will be headed out on tour this summer (you can check out the dates for that here.) While you’re there, you should follow them on tumblr too! We’ll have more details on the new record (pre-orders, album art, track listing, etc.) soon, but for now go download their stuff on bandcamp (pay whatever / free) or check out the extensive Youtube playlist we put together of the band playing out live.
