Thank you to everyone who has been ordering the new Primitive Heads- Beak Wyatt! 7 song Mini LP 12" along with all our other new releases from Big Boys and Secret Futures comp, which is almost sold out of the 400 copies (40 left). Also, we added to our store the screen-printed Glow In the Dark LP Cover for the Big Boys Fun, Fun, Fun, Frat Cars 12" Only 62 made in various limited color vinyl. Only 24 remain of those. Info on that below. 

This week’s Secret Futures Compilation band spotlight had to be Primitive Heads. With the announcement of their “Beak Wyatt!” Mini LP due late October on @strangeclubrecordsofficial, I figured it only made absolute sense.

Vocalist John Bonnel of Primitive Heads reached out to me to see if I would be interested in releasing the material. I said let’s hear it!" The day before, I had lost a really good friend, a ton of people know Big Frank Harrison, I was kind of in a weird headspace. The reason I bring that up was that one of the first couple songs that was sent to me was called Frank. Upon first listen I was I already knew I wanted to do it and it reminded me that life has a way of bringing joy through pain. After hearing the rest, I was all in!

John and I had met through our other bands. Also, John had did art for some of my bands. He even asked if my band, Union Hearts would like to join a leg of a Swingin Utters run with Sharp Objects (members of The Briefs and the Bodies). I ended up building a friendship with Dan from Sharp Objects and The Briefs, and would do merch with them for almost a decade prior to releasing a couple The Briefs records. John was for sure the unknowing catalyst!

During the pandemic, I did a blog interview series where I would ask people who inspired me from a vast area of time in my life with their art, music, skateboarding etc. John was super gracious to take the time to do one and is available on the Strange Club Records website in the Strange Club blog! There are a few interviews with people like Tim Kerr from Big Boys, Jeff Nelson from Minor Threat, and a slew of others, which you can read in the Strange Club Blog!
