Hey there, long time no talk. We apologize for the lack of regular updates, but as it turns out when you're an old label like us that doesn't crank out much in the way of new releases, there's not a lot of updating to do. Rest assured that we are still here, filling orders for back catalog and spending money that could go into pressing records on buying toys to take pictures of on Instagram...
To start, in celebration of the smell of commerce in the morning (and to make some extra room at PopKid HQ for some incoming boxes that we'll talk about in a minute) we're having a big Black Friday sale all week long. Though probably not the most punk rock thing in the world, I've (Tim) always loved Black Friday. There's something about the chaos, the firing up of Christmas music and the general proximity to my birthday that's always been fun. So we're going to celebrate it this year as well.
Until Sunday 11/29/2015 ALL regular priced PopKid back catalog records are HALF PRICE. We're talking $2 7"s and $4.50 CDs. Shipping is still the standard flat $4 for however much you buy (shipped int he US) and we implore you: GET THIS STUFF OUT OF HERE.

We need to make room for 2016 and the 100% going forward, no BS, no more delays, launch of a new PopKid record. We've said it's coming before, but honestly, it's actually happening this time. It's a co-release with some other wonderful labels. It's a full length LP on vinyl by one of my absolute favorite current bands. It's already recorded, mixed and mastered. The test pressings are done and this should be fired up at the pressing plant very soon. Now with the delays pressing plant's have these days, it's still going to be a few more months, but mark my words and watch this space.
Lastly, thanks to whoever made this Black Friday logo I found online. I thought of the idea and then searched to see if anyone else had already made it. Sure enough, there it was. If it's yours and you want credit or demand we remove it just let me know at
timpopkid[at]gmail[dot]com.
More updates coming soon!
For today only, you can download the entire PopKid records digital discography from Bandcamp for 70% off the usual price. So for $21.60 you can download NINE full length albums and a bunch of 7" singles as well.
