Knuckle Puck - Retrospective 12" + 7"

November 18, 2022 · BTR-078

Knuckle Puck was one of the first bands we worked with -- their first release with Bad Timing dates back to 2014, with the Knuckle Puck / Neck Deep Split 7" coming out as BTR-004 in February of that year. This release takes a look back at Knuckle Puck's early years -- Retrospective is a 12" LP + 7" EP combo that collects several releases, all originally pressed on vinyl by Bad Timing Records between 2014 and 2015.

On Side A of the 12" LP, you'll find 2013's The Weight That You Buried (originally BTR-008), and their two songs from that split with Neck Deep. Side B includes 2014's While I Stay Secluded EP (originally BTR-012), while the 7" is 2012's Don't Come Home EP (originally BTR-016).

Both the 12" and the 7" are housed in a silver gatefold jacket.

Cassino - Yellowhammer

April 20, 2022 · BTR-076

Cassino originally released Yellowhammer, their third full-length album and first since 2009's Kingprince, in March 2020. The album is a rejuvenation of Nick Torres' on-and-off project -- it's the first Cassino release recorded in a studio since the 2007 debut LP Sounds of Salvation, as Torres worked with engineer John Hefley at DB Studios in Dickson, TN. Torres wrote and produced Yellowhammer, while Gabe Renfroe added drums and Craig Krampf added additional percussion.

Having already worked with Cassino on a first-time pressing Sounds of Salvation back in 2020, we thought it was only appropriate to help bring Yellowhammer to vinyl as well.

Mansions - Old Best Friends

October 29, 2021 · BTR-072

Continuing a long-going partnership with Mansions, we're pleased to present Old Best Friends, a 12" LP retrospective of the band's career. Old Best Friends is a career-spanning acoustic reimagining of twelve songs, picked from 2009's New Best Friends, 2010's Best of the Bees, 2011's Dig Up The Dead, 2013's Doom Loop, 2017's Deserter and 2020's Big Bad.

Mansions is a Seattle band made up of Louisville, Kentucky transplants Chris Browder and Robin Dove. Inspired by Browder's pandemic project of cataloging every show the band had ever played, Old Best Friends shines a light on the powerful songwriting that underpins Mansions' often massive-sounding production. "When we hit the 10-year anniversary of Dig Up The Dead, it got me thinking about everything we've done over our history," explains Browder. "I went back and listened to all of our records. I was surprised to find that even the stuff that feels old enough to have been a different person still resonates with me. It felt like reinterpreting all these old songs would be a meaningful way to honor that history, while also making it into something new that I can believe in all these years later."

Mansions - Big Bad

June 26, 2020 · BTR-064

This is the first new Mansions full-length since 2013's Doom Loop and their first new music since 2017's Deserter EP. It's the fourth LP overall for the Seattle band, consisting of multi-instrumentalist Chris Browder and bassist Robin Dove, following Doom Loop, 2011's Dig Up The Dead and 2009's New Best Friends.

Big Bad finds Mansions at an intersection. It's an album that's preoccupied with making peace with the past and finding a way to make the most of the future--all without losing sight of here and now. Browder's songwriting has never been more dynamic, weaving vibrant synths, shimmering guitars, and churning bass into a sound that captures the big hooks that Mansions are known for while also entering uncharted sonic territory.

Matters of aging, mortality, and identity are explored over the top of 11 songs that range from sparse and deeply intimate to sprawling and atmospheric, often within the same song. The result is a document of change and growth that feels like a culmination of Mansion's ever-evolving sound, as well as a new way forward.

Cassino - Sounds of Salvation

April 22, 2020 · BTR-062

At the time of its release, Sounds of Salvation fit nicely into the niche of many mid-2000s acoustic side projects. Cassino featured Northstar bandmates Nick Torres and Tyler Odom, who started writing the songs for this self-released album following Northstar's break-up. More than a decade later, though, this LP and 2009's stripped-down Kingprince still stand out. Sounds of Salvation was pressed on vinyl for the first time by Bad Timing Records in spring 2020, and a re-press followed in fall 2020.
