Erotic Novels “There Is No Language In Our Love” OUT NOW

Posted on September 10, 2018 | Leave a comment

GTG110 – the debut LP from New Brunswick, NJ’s Erotic Novels – is out now! Shannon and Chris are two of our collective all time best band pals and we’re honored/stoked/hoked/etc to be partnering up with them for their debut full-length. Equal parts pop-punk and indie-rock, we do not exaggerate in any way when we say this record is… really, really good! The record (which we co-released with Weekend Quality) was recorded earlier this year at Volume IV with Chris Pierce and you can get it on vinyl and digital right here. The band has some killer shows coming up, including an NJ date October 6th with Weston, so stay tuned to their page for more updates. Let’s welcome them into the family!
