Description
Chris has the perfect job at Vinyl Destination. Her boss and fellow employees are all super rad. They all love music, love fighting the patriarchy, and love kicking her out when they close for some reason?! When their favorite singer, Rosie Riot, mysteriously disappears, Chris is let into a secret that'll change her world: her coworkers are a teen girl vigilante squad!
With the coolest job and friends in the world, Chris spends her day selling records and making music, and her nights solving mysteries and fighting for justice! From investigating vanishing musicians like the lead singer of Stegosour to taking on the shadowy corporate masters behind a suspicious battle of the bands, and with plenty of laughs, bonding moments, and jam sessions in between, the vinyl's never been heavier!
Collects the complete series by acclaimed writer Carly Usdin (The Avant-Guards) and artists Nina Vakueva and Irene Flores in one volume for the first time!

Persons
Carly Usdin is an award-winning commercial and narrative filmmaker based in Los Angeles, whose work combines heightened imagery with an absurdist comedic sensibility, all through a queer, trans lens. Their first feature, Suicide Kale, won Audience Awards at Outfest (Best First Feature) and NewFest (Best Narrative Feature) and is available on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Kanopy. Their short film Misdirection played over 60 festivals worldwide, winning Best Director at the LA Diversity Film Festival and Best Comedy Short at NewFilmmakers LA. In 2020 they were selected as one of three filmmakers for Hello Sunshine's branded "Meet Cute" series, writing and directing a queer romantic comedy called First Date. In 2023 Carly served as showrunner and director for the groundbreaking half-hour variety/sketch comedy series The Syd + TP Show, which follows World Champions and bench-warming besties Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance as they attempt to become the faces of the WNBA. Produced by TOGETHXR for Ryan Reynold's Maximum Effort Channel, in partnership with Fubo and Fubo Sports, the show quickly earned "primed-to-be cult classic" status from queer publication Autostraddle and was named one of Paste Magazine's "6 Streaming Comedies You Might Have Missed in 2023." Carly has spent years making short-form narrative and commercial content for clients and brands like Funny or Die, CollegeHumor, Entertainment Weekly, World of Wonder, Paramount, Absolut Vodka, Hasbro, Target, Google and YouTube. Most notably, they directed the third season of Awkwafina's digital series Tawk, and their campaigns for RuPaul's Drag Race have won a One Show Pencil and multiple Promax BDA Awards. Carly is also the creator and writer of two comic book series for BOOM! Studios: Heavy Vinyl (nominated for a 2018 Prism award) and The Avant-Guards (nominated for a 2020 GLAAD Award). Carly is an alum of Universal's Directors Initiative, AFI's DWW+, Women in Film's Directing Fellowship, was a semi-finalist for the 2022 Commercial Directors Diversity Program and a member of the inaugural class of Goodby Silverstein & Partners' artist-in-residence program, RESIDENCE. They most recently directed the entire first season of Dropout's new variety/talk series Monét's Slumber Party, hosted by drag superstar Monét X Change, premiering July 19th. Currently they are developing several film and television projects.
