BROKEN BOTTLES- HOSPITAL REISSUE

In 2010, the world lost an extraordinary friend and talented musician with the passing of Jesse "Jes The Mess" Rich, frontman of Broken Bottles. As a member of the TKO Records family, we wanted to reissue the band's classic album "Hospital" to honor Jesse and the music that he will live on through forever.

We partnered with Bat Skates to create a limited Jes The Mess edition (200 copies) that includes:

-Hand Silkscreened Gatefold Cover

-Colored Vinyl With Two "Live In Japan" Bonus Tracks

-40 Page Zine Of Broken Bottles History

-Hospital CD

-Poster

-Jes the Mess sticker

The first 50 orders will come with a bonus Broken Bottles patch and a 4 button set and can be ordered from http://www.batskates.com/ and will be coming soon to the TKO webstore. For those who knew Jesse or for those who loved the music he made, this is the definitive edition of essential Broken Bottles material.

CRAZY SQUEEZE PIZZA PARTY

TKO is pleased to announce its next pizza party featuring an in-store performance from The Crazy Squeeze on Friday, February 22 at 7:00 p.m.. The band is celebrating the release of their self-titled debut LP featuring 13 songs of in-your-face glam inspired punk and roll. The occasion will focus on the recent vinyl editions that include the U.S. pressing from Vinyl Dog on limited pub puke marbled vinyl and a German pressing from Wanda Records that includes limited red vinyl with black splatter and red vinyl with white splatter versions.

In true TKO fashion, pizza and soft drinks will be provided. Come to the show or The Crazy Squeeze will break your knee caps.

UPDATE FOR 2013

It has been quite some time since TKO has popped up in the blog world but that's only because we've been busy cranking out records, hosting in-store performances and making ritual sacrifices to the vinyl gods. We are now ready to make these updates occur more than once a year and start by catching everybody up on what was, is and what shall be at TKO.

One of the most recent and exciting developments at TKO is the release of the Vicious Circle LP, which for those unaware was the group Orange County madman Jack Grisham led with Todd Barnes before the two went on to form TSOL. Known for their violent escapades and self-destructive behavior, the band managed to hold on to a single practice tape that TKO had meticulously restored and remastered to properly shed light on this volatile piece of punk rock history. The LP comes with a 40-minute DVD where frontman Jack Grisham himself regales you with the tales of mayhem that defined Vicious Circle.

In addition to unearthing these unheard Vicious Circle recordings, TKO has released reissue vinyl for seminal doom metal band The Obsessed (featuring a young Scott "Wino" Weinrich) and their debut 7" as well as brand new releases for bands such as Lars Fredriksen's latest project The Old Firm Casuals.

You might be thinking, what's next for TKO? The next installment of the Poison Idea "Kings Of Punk" series and unreleased TSOL material are the tasty treats on the vinyl horizon.
