I'm psyched to announce TNR007: the latest full length release from Chicago punk legends M.O.T.O.! This marks the first TNRecs release for a non-Japanese band though it is being released solely in Japan rather than domestically...a reverse cultural exchange from what I've done in the past and the first of many that I have planned. Remainder copies of No Way Street will be for sale to the rest of the world on this site while supplies last (available now). Orders placed outside of the U.S. must contact me for additional shipping charges as always.

Happy holidays!

The next TnRecs release will be announced by the end of the month...exciting!

Finally posted photos from "the heiz"'s U.S. tour this past Fall. Enjoy.

All TnR releases are now $10 ppd.

I'll be spinning the Japanese Group Sounds at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden during the Sakura Matsuri on Sunday May 2 from 3:30-7pm. Fingers crossed for good weather.

Let's go!

Two new releases from two new bands this Fall, both making their indie label debut: Nagoya's The Questionmarks and Tokyo's the heiz (pronounced "haze", written lower case). So much incredible music.

Also, to celebrate the release of their first CD, "the heiz" will embark on a two month, coast to coast US tour beginning 10/23. Dates soon...
