the Applicators - My Weapon (Vinyl)

Limited edition of 500 copies in neon metallic pink vinyl.

Twenty years on, ‘My Weapon’ is back, and this time it belongs entirely to The Applicators. The Austin, Texas punk outfit’s seminal 2006 album arrives June 15 on vinyl for the very first time via Cellofame Records, newly remastered and pressed in a limited neon metallic pink edition of just 500 copies worldwide. Pre-orders open May 15 Shipping starts June 15th!

The release carries real significance beyond the anniversary. After years of persistence, The Applicators have fully reclaimed ownership of their master recordings. ‘My Weapon’ returns on their own terms, in its purest form, exactly as it should have always existed.

Originally partly recorded and produced in London before being completed back home in Austin, the album captured the band at the peak of their international touring era. Across 11 tracks, it delivers gritty, melodic punk with street punk urgency and riot grrrl spirit. Buzzing guitars, honeyed harmonies, groovy basslines, punchy drums, and hooks that stick, tracks like “Tragedy,” “Bad Infection,” and the title track hit with the kind of cathartic energy that made the original release a breakout moment. Alternative Press called them “classic punk superstars in waiting.” Kerrang! praised the record as “consistently catchy.” Both assessments hold up.
