The Coalition of the Illin’ have returned with another expert despatch on the state of matters, matters of State, and smatterings of satiated status.
Pre-order for “Never Ending” album from FAVES & Larry Lynch
Today is a big Caturday at Berkeley Cat Records, for today we unveil the pre-order on Bandcamp for the full-length FAVES and Larry Lynch album! Compiled from singles they have recorded and released over recent years, this 10-song rock epic is 100% original material composed by Larry and Robbie Dunbar with their awesome bandmates. Produced in Oakland at state-of-the-art 25th Street Recording, engineered and co-produced by Gabriel Shepard, this album also introduces a new song, the title track, Never Ending. Pre-order, have a listen and share it up on your Faceplaces!
“What is The Thing?” New single thing from Eric Din
“I made a thing,” so goes the popular internet phrase. And these days, we don’t always now how a thing was made. This one was made with vocals, guitar, and bass guitar, recorded over a drum beat which I assembled from samples of acoustic drums from earlier sessions, all then mixed and mastered by the artist (me), in my actual bedroom. So I think I can reasonably say, I made a thing! Here it is. I hope you enjoy the thing.

2026, a poem – by Coalition of the Illin’
Coalition of the Illin’ have elaborated and expanded their position with 2026, a poem. Engaging the subtleties and themes which many of us encounter as we navigate the peculiar challenges in the halfway point through this consequential and confounding year, the Coalition’s latest testimony builds on the musical and lyrical promise of their first. We hope you enjoy and oh, this one includes naughty words, alert the PMRC, or Frank Zappa, or mom and dad. Cheers and regards from your pals at BCR.

The McMansion On The Hill by Eric Din is Foisted!
Berkeley Cat Records is having spasms of unspeakable joy over the release of The McMansion On The Hill by Eric Din. McDin? Sure, fine, McDinwiddie, McSka, McFunFun. It’s about three minutes of Ska-rockin’ bass-line driven hullabaloo about the demise of everything. Just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from Mr. McDinsky in these utopian times of everything is great. Y’all enjoy! Oh and there are rumours of a possible custom art panel coming from a certain cartoonist on this matter, rather soon, we think. Meanwhile we used our handy BCR insta-single template, courtesy of McWheeler and McJackson. McCheers! <3
