Knock Yr Socks Off Records started life way back in 1997 as a tape label. It progressed to releasing records courtesy of affordable small run lathe cuts by Peter King. Finally, after putting out more lathe cuts and CDRs, it fulfilled its desire to press quality records by releasing a split 7" record featuring Portland's Eux Autres and Melbourne's Summer Cats in mid-2007.
Since then Knock Yr Socks Off has continued to release high quality limited edition vinyl and will endeavour to do so for at least a few more years yet.

We are very excited to be back in the LP pressing game and could not be happier than undertaking this split release with our great friends at Slumberland Records. We have pressed and are carrying the Australian edition for this record. If you live in Australia or New Zealand you can purchase this LP direct from us here at KYSOR for the price of $25 (AUD) for the LP and $10 shipping. If you live outside of the region, please head over to the Slumberland or Business of Dreams Bandcamp page and purchase the LP directly from them.
After the earlier 7" and split live cassette Milk Teddy hit us with their debut LP, Zingers, Given album of the week status on RRR, 2SER and Syn FM it can be said that it has been greeted with a warm response.

Head over to the bandcamp page to have a listen and purchase. $25 postage paid worldwide for the LP, $20 for the CD and $10 for a digital only copy. Vinyl limited to 300 copies.
We here at Knock Yr. Socks Off can now officially die happy knowing that we've had the privilidge of putting out a release by Saturday Looks Good To Me. Here we have a live show of theirs from 2003, taken from their first headline tour of the US. This show was recorded at the Crocodile in Seattle. On the flip side is a live show from Milk Teddy giving a hint of what their forthcoming LP will sound like. Recorded live in 2010 at The Old Bar here in Melbourne. Featuring all the hits and some great banter by Thomas. You can stream the entire thing over at our bandcamp page and while you're there think about picking up a copy. Sounds great in a 1989 car tapedeck. Edition of 200 in five different colour covers. If you've got a preference let us know when you purchase: pink, aqua, orange, red and yellow.
Motifs are back on vinyl! Split seven inch with Melbourne via Brisbane harmony kings The Zebras. Motifs offer up Words they're first new track in a while, hopefully giving a hint of things to come, while The Zebras take a dive in synthesizers with Desert Island adding to their lush guitars. We've moved away from selling directly on the site and are now using bandcamp so you can head over there to have a listen, purchase and get an immediate download of the tracks with purchase. As usual strictly limited, this time to 300 copies.
Payment is $12 (AUD) shipping included within Australia or $15 (shipping included) everywhere else in the world.
Golden Age is a compilation 7" featuring five of our very favourite artists. On side one, from Australia, we have The Cannanes and Summer Cats; one of indiepop's oldest stalwarts and the other a progresively established newcomer. The flip features three great bands from the USA, Cheap Red, Soft Paws and Tricia Yates Fanclub; Cheap Red and Tricia Yates Fanclub are new-ish bands featuring Stewart Anderson of Boyracer while Soft Paws are a hybrid pop/psychdelic three piece from Portland, Oregon, who give us a great slab of surf pop on this release.

The release is a split with 555 records of Flagstaff, Arizona.
Knock Yr. Socks Off Records are back for 2010 with a brand new release from young Melbourne upstarts Milk Teddy! On this release Milk Teddy offer up Going to Sri Lanka b/w Be With Me Again Tonight. You can download a copy of the B-Side "Be With Me Again Tonight" by clicking here
The single itself is limited to 200 copies and is sadly sold out. But there will be a full length LP coming out really soon!
It’s hard to think of enough wonderful things to say about Huon. For those unfortunates in the dark Huon are a stunningly original art punk pop band from Melbourne Australia boasting a line-up of premier division noted indie-heavy-weights such as David Nichols (Blairmailer, Cannanes, etc), Mia Schoen (Sleepy Township, New Estate, etc), Andrew Withycombe (Hydroplane, Cats Miaow, etc) and Ellen Turner (Long Weekend, etc).
This is Huon’s sixth long player, and their first full length release in 7 years.
The record can be had for $25 postage paid within Australia or for $35 anywhere else in the world. All prices in Australian dollars.
It is also a split release with 555 records of Flagstaff, Arizona and Jellyfant records of Germany. You should support your local label (and probably save some postage in the process).
SOLD OUT!!!
