Punk icon Kathleen Hanna‘s band the Julie Ruin released their debut album Run Fast in 2013. The song “Blueberry Island” wasn’t included on that album, though it was featured in the Hanna documentary The Punk Singer. Now, the track is being released on a 7″ that’s being sold via a pop-up online record shop run by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek‘s label Federal Prism. The B-side is a YACHT remix of the Julie Ruin track “Right Home”.

Federal Prism’s pop-up is selling exclusive vinyl, apparel, downloads, and more from a wide array of artists. It will be up for 60 days starting right now. In a press release, Sitek said of his decision to start the pop-up, “Somewhere along the line music became ‘content.’ It’s my full intention to bring it back to music again! With such potency, music should be treated with care. The sound, the feel, the presentation… everything! It is a medicine. It is a teacher!”

In addition to the Julie Ruin 7″, the shop also plans to sell exclusive releases by TV on the Radio, Johnny Cash, Frankie Rose, fIREHOSE, Thelonious Monk, Mike Watt, Chuck Inglish, CSS, the Germs, and many others. Check out the shop here.
