Limited Edition
A Collection of Short Stories [Multicolor] Vinyl
Break out the wristbands and crank up the nostalgia—A Collection of Short Stories by Houston Calls is back on wax, and it's never looked better. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this pop-punk gem gets a well-deserved second pressing on eye-catching multicolor vinyl, courtesy of the ever-iconic Drive-Thru Records.
Originally released in the golden era of mid-2000s emo and pop-punk, the album is a tight, energetic ride through youthful longing, late-night drives, and emotional crescendos. Tracks like “Sunrise, Sunset” and “Exit, Emergency” mix synth-driven hooks with earnest vocals and polished guitar work, while “Bob and Bonnie” brings all the melodrama you'd want from a song named after two tragic lovers.
What made A Collection of Short Stories special then—and still does now—is its ability to marry sincerity with catchiness. Houston Calls were never just chasing a trend; they had their own spin on the scene, with bright keys, sharp songwriting, and choruses that beg for a singalong.
This reissue is more than just a throwback—it's a reminder of a time when pop-punk wore its heart on its sleeve. If you're looking to revisit your scene kid roots or just appreciate a well-crafted debut, this multicolor edition is calling your name.
