We’re counting down to Record Store Day, a major holiday for vinyl nerds and casual music listeners alike. Between April 14th and April 19th, Midwest Action is hosting Six Days of Vinyl Giveaways, a celebration of both Midwestern musicians and records. We gathered some vinyl, a mix of 7″s and LPs, from a few of our favorite artists. Each day, we’re giving away a single copy of an album, and on Record Store Day, we’re giving away all 5 records as a combo pack.

DAY ONE: MINOR CHARACTERS s/t 12″



In the three short years since their inception, Chicago’s Minor Characters have had no problem making a name for themselves. With two EPs already behind them and an LP on the horizon, the indie/pop group is only going up from here. In preparation for the rapidly approaching release of their full-length, Minor Characters teamed up with Jurassic Pop Records to put out a fantastic piece of wax.

Out last August, this 12″ is a deluxe reissue of the group’s first two EPs – 2011’s Minor Characters and 2013’s Heal Me, Healing Times. Enter below for your chance to win this double-EP on gorgeous clearwater blue vinyl.
