Lights To Lights release experimental ambient guitar-based "The Book of Psalms: Chapters 1 - 2511/14/2014 Lights To Lights presents experimental ambient guitar-based music below the recited words of Holy Scripture. Two and a half years in the making, the debut album “The Book of Psalms: Chapters 1-25” contains the first twenty-five Psalms...read in a careful, contemplative manner and backed by original, visceral music which reflects the mood and message of each particular Psalm. Twenty-five songs clocking in at a total of just under 80 minutes, this album is an audio-Bible like no other. Lights To Lights is the solo project of Jimmy Sisco (lead singer/guitarist/bassist for Platoon 1107; lead singer/guitarist for Absolved) who wrote, played, recorded, and produced the album himself. The term "lights to lights" comes from Marine Corps boot camp (Jimmy is a Marine veteran). If a drill instructor is on duty, with the recruits when the lights are turned on in the early morning for Reveille, is there all day with the recruits, and is still there when the lights are turned off at night for Taps, he is on "lights to lights". There was always such an omnipresence regarding that drill instructor. He was there from start to finish with the recruits. Watching. Teaching. Disciplining. Guiding. Always there. God's presence in our lives is like that. There with us as we wake. There with us as we fall asleep. Lights to lights. “The Book of Psalms: Chapters 1-25” is available now via MMLJ Records and can be purchased online at mmljrecords.bandcamp.com or other online digital music stores.

Orange County punker Doug Jutras has unplugged and unwound, and sat down with his acoustic guitar to craft three new songs that form his upcoming “Miss That Walk” EP. Doug blends rock and blues over a musical foundation rooted in a lifetime of punk rock. Three honest, working class songs that reflect Doug’s own person journey from chaos to clarity through his belief in Jesus Christ. “Miss That Walk” will be available for digital download through Thumper Punk Records and all major digital retailers onDecember 9, 2014. Doug’s previous solo release “God Bless the World, Not Just America” by the band FEAR GOD is also available through the TPR webstore (www.thumperpunkrecords.com). August 30, 2014. Santa Cruz, California, and Sao Paolo, Brazil. Thumper Punk Records is stoked to announce the release of DEAD TO SIN, the sophomore release from Brazil’s street punk preachers Living Fire. DEAD TO SIN features 45 minutes of blistering street punk and Oi! fueled by passion, energy and praise. Musically subtle as a sledgehammer, Living Fire seeks to transmit God’s word to places where it would not be received through conventional means. Essential listening for fans of Rancid, UK Subs, and FBS, or for anyone strapping on their boots to face life’s harsh realities. DEAD TO SIN is the band’s follow-up effort to their debut album JESUS RULES, which was jointly released by Thumper Punk Records and Saved Records in August 2012. DEAD TO SIN is available for download (http://thumperpunkrecords.bandcamp.com), and through iTunes and other digital retailers.

August 5, 2014 -- When it comes to punk rock, Sef Idle is quietly becoming a household name. For almost 20 years his musical efforts have been honed and shaped with such bands as Two Spare Months, Strong Point, uniSEF, and finally the Boise-based False Idle. But Sef's first foray into a more traditional singer-songwriter role does not disappoint. His first official release, Start Again, from Thumper Punk Records is proof that there's more to his story than one might think. After writing and recording a solo song entitled "Get Back Up" in 2008 under the name Just Plain Sef, the journey began. Although that song was never released until 2012 when it was included with the uniSEF Discography, it was the start of something bigger. Honest writing is key to Sef's style. Songs like "5 am" and "Back Then" show a continued depth of content while "In The Sand" is an old fashioned thank you to one Mrs. Idle. With an overall message of new beginnings in spite of past mistakes, Sef Idle's solo release is a reassuring call to all of us that personal failings are not the end, only opportunities to start again. Well-crafted vocals and introspective lyrics make this latest release just another win in an already prolific musical career. For booking, promo requests, or to set up an interview, please contact Sef Idle at “sef@sefidlemusic.com”, or visithttp://www.sefidlemusic.com. Released and distributed by Thumper Punk Records www.thumperpunkrecords.com July 23, 2013 - Santa Cruz, California. Christ’s Sake announces the release of their second full length album “We All Fall Down” on Thumper Punk Records. Christ's Sake continues their classic Orange County punk sound with melodic hooks and driving rhythms, which are contrasted uniquely harmonic vocal arrangements. Jesus lovin' alternative punk from musicians who have experienced drugs, alcohol, abuse, emptiness and loneliness, yet who have managed to turn their lives around through the grace and love of Jesus Christ. Band members include founding member Lance Hendren (guitar, vocals), Vince Morales (drums), Matt Kilian (lead guitar), Dillon Hendren (backup vocals), Sandra Calvillo (backup vocals), and Matt Vangalapudi on (bass guitar).

The Old-timers announce the release of their fourth album, a 6 song EP entitled “Be Reconciled” through Thumper Punk Records and Veritas Vinyl on July 1, 2014.
