This past Sunday, we hosted a night of Band Bingo at Madison’s Frequency. Among the many prizes were two very special releases available only at the event. Below is information about these two releases (though they’re not available for download or purchase).

This week’s new release sees Dad School’s return to mam!records. After 6 or so releases on this label, Dad School’s signature guitar-based sounds are better than ever.
This week’s new release is the long-awaited EP by Spanish artist Fira Fem, titled Mascot Humans Disco. If you like any of the stuff you’ve heard on this label before, you’ve got to check this release out. Wonderful tunes that sound like a completely new take on the sort of thing done by bands like The Books and Tortoise.
Given Willingly is a long-time mam!records member and supporter. Today, we are proud to bring you his brand new full-length album. Given Willingly creates music that somehow combines the worlds of audio collage art with vocals that often feel strongly rooted in punk ethics. Check it out!
Tuesday, we released el-tin fun‘s awesome new album, Sunburned Skeptics. The band itself has had physical copies professionally pressed (by Madison’s own Sooper Dooper), and they’ll be celebrating the album’s release TONIGHT in Madison. The show is FREE, and it will take place at Mickey’s Tavern.
Also playing will be local buddies Meteorade, and Milwaukee’s The Fatty Acids. You can also check out another album being released tonight by Leonard the Comet (Meteorade side-project).
More info on the show can be found here. Also, check out the Isthmus’ writeup on the new el-tin fun music video here.

This week’s new release is another welcome addition to the el-tin fun cannon. Check out all nine new recordings in this free release, and if you enjoy it, buy it from the artists themselves. I think this album really captures the experience you get seeing them live – maybe with a few extra frills, of course. My favorite track is by far “helicopter freeekouts.”
After hours of upload problems, here it is at last, the new release for this week. check out Fambly Fun!’s album preview in all its experimental hip-hop glory! This release marks the return of mam!records (online at least – we’ve been very busy in the city of Madison).
This release is offered for ONE WEEK ONLY, so grab it while you can. As you may notice, the Bandcamp download is set to “name your own price” mode. This is because Bandcamp now charges its users – that’s right; ad-free streaming for you means artists must pay cash money – so all payments we receive will go toward keeping the free downloads up.
Fear not, fans of The Enright House! It seems Mark has been busy lately. Two days ago, we posted about his excellent track featured in the Beginning, Middle & End trailer (as well as the full film, I believe). Today, we found a nice little bit of goodness on The Enright House’s website. Call it a redo, a rehash, a response or whatever, The Enright House is currently giving away a new version of Distance, a song that can be found on this release here.
