Pink vinyl records look as sweet as candy that’s why it’s interesting that a lot of rock bands choose them for their albums… and they look so cool!
If you’re a metal/punk/rock band, you’re likely “locked” in the colors black, red and white for your website, merch, CD packaging, and uhmmm… everything else. That’s the stereotype. But if you want to become more badass than you already are, try something totally unexpected. Why don’t you try a girly color like pink! Apparently, this is not a very new idea and lots of artists (even the hardcore ones) have released pink Vinyl LPs and 7’s. And they all look good! Again, we do vinyl pressing so hit us up if you need anything.
A thrash metal band with a pink vinyl. How cute is that?
Everytime I Die- New Junk Aesthetic Vinyl
The vinyl jacket artwork is stunning and works perfectly well with the hot pink vinyl record.
Boys Keep Swinging- Duran Duran Vinyl
Cotton candy pink looks great for a Duran Duran vinyl.
The metallic looking vinyl reminds me of hard candies. The slight touch of green works perfectly here.
Bonaparte- Sorry We’re Open
Black and pink works perfectly all the time, doesn’t it?
The Catastrophe / Vipers 7″ Split
This vinyl is both scary and sweet!
Sher Terror- Spite
What’s adorable about this record by Sheer Terror is that the bulldog tries to hard to look scary but it ends up looking cute.
Green really makes pink pop out, doesn’t it?
Love the movie, love the this soundtrack vinyl more!
Elvis 7″ vinyl release mixed by the Stray Cats
Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The king of rock and roll has a pink vinyl!
Pink Floyd- The Dark Side of the Moon
Classic vinyl record but with a pink vinyl.
This translucent vinyl by Red Hot Chili Peppers looks so pretty it is enough to make me buy it.
Pink overload…still cool though!
This splatter vinyl by Weezer has a touch of green in it. Don’t you love it that it’s about drugs and it’s pink?
The Skulls- Can Punk Rock Pay The Bills?
One of my faves simply because the contrast is so clear and direct— pink and skull yo! How contradicting is that?
Which of these pink vinyl records do you like best?
