Picks of the week!

Andrew’s taking a trip down memory lane with the 2002 album Breathing In Is Only Half The Function by Detroit metalcore band Foredirelifesake. Still sounds pretty raging after all these years! Vinyl reissue from Forge Again Records.

Rory J has been enjoying the latest album from Greek punks Chain Cult. If you like Rixe, Syndrome 81 or later Blitz and you haven’t checked out this band yet you need to rectify that immediately.

Rory M’s choice is Plains Of The Alluvial by experimental folk/noise band Amps For Christ. Don’t be fooled by the name of this band, or their connection to powerviolence legends Man Is The Bastard, into thinking they’re a much heavier outfit, their back catalogue is made up largely of traditional folk music played with a DIY punk edge and aesthetic. Amazing stuff!

JUST IN! It’s only Tuesday but we’ve already had a whole load of great records arrive this week.

Picks of the week!

This week Andrew’s been loving Alien Lanes by US indie rock heroes Guided By Voices. Somehow this is the first time we’ve managed to get this one in stock, sure they won’t stick around for long either!

Rory J has been spinning Tir Groupe by French Oi!/punk band Rixe. Possibly the best material yet from these guys. Quality as ever from La Vida Es Un Mus Discos.

Rory M’s pick is the self-titled debut 7” from Australian fast core band Kissland, featuring members of Swab, Eddy Current Suppression Ring and other. Seriously bracing stuff out on 625 Thrash!

I came into the shop last week and one of our shirt rails had fallen out of the wall.

So I’m taking this as a sign that either it was badly put up (surely not?!) or we have TOO MANY SHIRTS!

So yeah anyway, half price t-shirts for the rest of the week. In the shop and online (link in bio).
