IPZ-006 - MAN BEFORE MARS
"The Beta EP"
Available Now!




A crisp winter breeze precedes the warming embrace of Man Before Mars' debut, The Beta EP.

The Dallas , TX based pop / rock outfit has been described as 'The Cure meets The Clash', a five-piece with a penchant for catchy, simple songs, polished to the core, and aimed at the heart. Running the gamut from 80’s-influenced new wave rockers to eight-minute arias, The Beta EP is a mini-chronicle of the triumphs and tragedies of love and life, one in which all are invited to tap a foot or raise a glass. Credits music for your own bittersweet biopic.

The Beta EP is in itself a beta test, long in the making and engineered to establish a unique inaugural imprint, a six-song herald of golden days to come.

IPZ-005 - HENRY HOLT
"Lines and Letdowns"
Available Now!



Release #5 comes from the shared experience and bleeding hearts of two brothers known as Mudd. John and J.J. Mudd, collectively known as the quirky indie/experimental project Henry Holt.

Lines and Letdowns is the latest, and by far the greatest, in a line of EPs the duo has released over the past few years. It features a tried-and-true fan favorite, the quirky love tune "Whopper", as well as the ultra-mellow variation "Enjoy The Movie", instrumental opener (and namesake) "Lines and Letdowns", "Cleo", and "A Book About Us" (another fan favorite in five-star form here.)

A final bonus comes in the form of a special appearance by Dallas pop-punk underground mainstays 41 Gorgeous Blocks, who provide their own stylistic interpretation of "Whopper", and pull it off magnificently. Fans of either band will love every second of it.
