Ghost Stories is a punk rock album by the Chicago, Illinois band The Lawrence Arms, released in 2000 by Asian Man Records.
 It was the band's second full-length album.
 With this release the band moved away from the political nature of some of their previous songs in favor of more introspective lyrics.
 Also, while singer/bassist Brendan Kelly had handled the majority of lead vocals on their previous album "A Guided Tour of Chicago", on this album he and singer/guitarist Chris McCaughan split vocal duties almost equally.
 This singing style would continue throughout their next several albums, and eventually the two would begin to share lead vocals in an almost duet style on Oh Calcutta!
 It also features the only Lawrence Arms song written and sung by drummer Neil Hennessy, "106 South".
 The album was recorded at Scientific Studios in December of 1999 by Mike Giampa.
 All of the drums were triggered, and the bass was recorded through a SansAmp.
 Accompanied by a heavily distorted guitar, this resulted in a very raw sounding album.
 It's loved by hardcore fans for its dark tones and lyrical themes.
 Brendan Kelly has stated that this is his second least favorite Lawrence Arms album, but called the cover his favorite.
 The album was released on vinyl for the first time in 2009 on Asian Man Records, with all new artwork. Four One Five Two
Four One Five Two is the debut album of Chicago Illinois's Sundowner, the acoustic side-project from Chris McCaughan, singer guitarist of The Lawrence Arms.

Buttsweat and Tears is an EP by the Chicago punk rock band The Lawrence Arms, released October 27, 2009 by Fat Wreck Chords.

 Calcutta!
" In the interim, singer/bassist Brendan Kelly and drummer Neil Hennessy performed in The Falcon, Hennessy also performed in the Smoking Popes, and singer/guitarist Chris McCaughan performed in Sundowner. Oh! Calcutta! (The Lawrence Arms album)
Oh!
 Calcutta!
 is the fifth full-length album by the Chicago punk rock band The Lawrence Arms, released in 2006 by Fat Wreck Chords.

 Brendan Kelly has stated that this is his favorite Lawrence Arms album.
