Recess Records Dot Com

The Bananas-New Animals LP/CD
My band was on tour with The Bananas once and at one show they were pushed to do a sound check. I was eating in another room downstairs when i heard them start. All of the sudden i caught myself wolfing down my food very fast like i was in a hot dog eating contest. The reason was cos it sounded like i was missing a huge fun party. When i finished i ran into the room they were playing and it was empty,like most sound checks are. Even from a faint thump street blocks away they have a spirit and energy that many other bands will never come close to even pretending to have. Their first 3 albums are mainstays in my stereo and never seem to lose charm or fail the test of time. Their 4th album, “New Animals”, promises even more longevity! Some of their best songs like “Gentrification for Dummies”, “Radioaction”, “National Anthem”, and “Roly Poly” call this record home. Damn I’m glad they exist!
Also they are on tour most of may. click on their link on the right to see dates!

(((Work jakets)))
We got in some real nice and used work jackets for Off With Their Heads, Recess, & Underground Railroad to Candyland.

Screeching Weasel- Boogadaboogadaboogada LP $10 Gatefold Jacket!
Recess is currently going through high emotions due to the grantage of releasing most of Screeching Weasel’s catalog on vinyl. The first installment is the classic second album Boogadaboogadaboogada. Originally released on Roadkill Records,then bootlegged in europe, and then re-released on Lookout Records, and now on an updated mastered, deluxe packaged Recess version. This album is reminiscent of the better A.O.D. Stuff,yet has the sign-of-things-to-come classics like “Love”, “Stupid Over You”, “My Right”, “I Wanna Be Naked”, and the great great “Hey Suburbia”. 26 songs in all!! If you paid attention to punk or HC in the late ’80’s then this was considered a savior!
First 500 on multi-colored vinyl.

The Queers-Love Songs For The Retarded LP $8
As with all the Lookout era Screeching Weasel being re-released on the unbowed vinyl format, same goes for The Queers! The first in the installment is their highly classic “Love Songs For The Retarded” LP. I pretty much think all the songs on this album are glued forever onto The Queers set lists. With greats like “Debra Jean”, “Hi Mom.it’s Me”, & “You’re Tripping” you can’t ever ever ever go wrong.
First 500 on multi-colored vinyl.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS-Hospitals LP $8
First 500 on multi-colored vinyl
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS has stepped up to the plate and delivered a record that rocks with the passion of a thousand Alamo house basement shows. Imagine a stronger MODERN MACHINES,mixed with some DILLINGER FOUR, and then throw in a healthy dose of RIVETHEAD (which this band is ex members of) and you have OFF WITH THEIR HEADS. There is something wonderful and totally punk about jumping up and down while singing songs about misery and sorrow with a smile on your face. This record is so recommended that I can almost guarantee will be on my year-end top ten and its only march.-J. Floyd/ MRR

news:12/10 It’s cold out there huh? Well then check out the FYP & Recess Zipper hoodies for sale! 11/29 I Just put up a crapload of vinyl and cd’s from other labels. Some really great stuff! I’m Talkin OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, THE FLESHIES, DORY TOURETTE stuff. From labels like Thrillhouse, Small Pool, No Idea, Underground Government. 11/6 The Underground Railroad To Candyland “Bird Roughs” is now available thru mailorder and most bitchin’ stores! The Underground Railroad to Candyland/ The Arrivals tour was sooooo quacktastic and i wanted to thanks to everyone who put on a show,came to shows, put us up, let us play their Xbox & Wii, let us eat their food, let us dress up their cats, and many other things! I was coughing up lung ass for most of it and it was still one the the best tours ever! I am grateful and thankful that we are able to do stuff like this and it would be lots harder without all yall. 7/26 Finally got The Arrivals LP’s in! 1st 300 on colored wax! Also just got a grip of Recess Records shirts with just the logo on the front. The Arrivals & The Underground Railroad To Candyland are touring in oct. If you want us to play your town get in touch please! Also, Recess will be the proud presser of the classic Screeching Weasel LP’s! The first reissue, Boogadaboogadaboogada, will be out this fall 7/3 As much as it pains for me to announce this, i must start charging shipping for orders as of today, july 3 (unless you order $50 or more). In the near 20 years that i have been selling music i have never charged for shipping cos i loved the whole “PPD” thing,even though the postal service has felt free to raise their rates as often as the sky is blue. Their most recent price hike is just plain killing me, as well as a whole slew of independent labels,artists, zines etc etc. For example, if someone only orders a 7″ i lose AT LEAST $1 for every package i send! And i dont wanna stop doing 7″s. Not to mention my $20,000 debt (please keep ordering! hint hint!). I feel like this is the best way to still get Recess stuff for cheap rather than raising prices across the board. The shipping rates (USA) range from $2 to $4,so its not that much. There are alot of you out there (you and we know who you are!) that have been buying buttloads of Recess stuff lately and to say that we appreciate it is a huge understatement!! 6/21 New release alert! DEAR LANDLORD/CHINESE TELEPHONES split 7″ out now! Plus i got a BUTTLOAD of “other labels” stuff (Screeching Weasel, The Queers, Off With Their Heads etc) 6/5 The Arrivals CD can be ordered today! 5/29 The Arrivals-marvels of industry can be preordered now…the cd’s at least.4/19 The Crumbs-last exit Lp’s finally in!! I swear! The Arrivals-Marvels Of Industry has been shipped off to all the right places and thee all good button is in the middle of being pressed right now. It is sooo damn good! Please check out some of the songs on our myspace page and The Arrivals page 3/19 The Queers-munki brain LP out now! First 300 copies on splattered grey vinyl 2/21 The Bananas-a slippery subject LP out now! 300 copies on red vinyl! 1/26 Dwarves-toolin’ 12″ (Recess#33) and F.Y.P-toys that kill LP (Recess#67) are now back in print! 1/16 The Underground Railroad To Candyland is going to Japan…with The Bananas!
