OK everyone. The Hula 7” has arrived, looks and sounds great. We’re putting the finishing touches to the package and will be mailing w/c January 5. It’s a must-have for any of you into your post-punk-industrial-funk, two previously unreleased tracks on 7” in gatefold sleeve with a 16 page booklet of archive material. It’s a limited edition first pressing of 250 numbered copies and if you preorder you also get a reproduction Hula poster individually signed by Hula’s Ron Wright. Preorders must end on December 31 and more than half the copies are already gone so don’t delay if you want to get your hands on a copy. www.safetypinmag.com is where to find it.

I thought there was far too much hair and denim involved to be on a punk rock bill. Then they started playing. Rat Cage. Potentially the most punk thing tonight.

Hi my friends. Pictured here test pressing of the vinyl to go with Safety Pin #29 which will be mailing in February. You may notice that it's a 12" rather than the usual 7" offering: that's because we have four unreleased tracks by a huge band from the late 70s-early 80s era, still going strong and seven inches just wasn't big enough... All will be revealed after Christmas when it goes up for preorder. In the mean time, if you really want to send us some money we have plenty of copies of #27 (with Instigators / Hung Like Hanratty 7") and #28 with four track TNS Records EP. And the numbered limited edition Hula 7" is on the website to preorder for mailing early January. HALF THE COPIES ARE ALREADY GONE, so get your skates on if that's your thing. www.safetypinmag.com is where to go.

You don’t get much more punk rock than this. Pizza Tramp at Zephyrs in Sheffield tonight. Set up on the floor. No ‘can I have more bass in the monitors’ because there’s only one monitor and only the drummer’s behind it.

Hi everyone. We've got a couple of current products which we hope will persuade you to part with your cash: Safety Pin magazine #28 has been out for a couple of weeks; it has epic interviews with Marco Pirroni (Adam & The Ants), Richard Jobson (Skids), Joe Keithley (D.O.A.) and Pete Bentham among others, plus a free four track vinyl 7" courtesy of TNS Records. We're also taking preorders for the upcoming Hula 7" out in January featuring two previously unheard tracks from their very first recording session at Cabaret Voltaire's Western Works in 1982. First pressing is a limited edition of 250 numbered copies in a gatefold sleeve with a booklet of archive material. These are going fast so don't hang around. www.safetypinmag.com is where to find everything, including back issues and the Safety Pin vinyl only compilation No Digital Option. If you're in the London area and want to avoid postage costs all our products can be found at All Ages, Sounds of the Suburbs and Vinyl Revelations.

OK, it doesn’t look that exciting because test pressings don’t. But this is a sn**ch of the forthcoming Hula 7” from Safety Pin, now up for preorder at www.safetypinmag.com From Hula’s very first recording session in 1982 and previously unheard, first pressing is a numbered limited edition of 250 copies in gatefold sleeve with a booklet of archive material.
