Ace article about an ace band!

Noisy rock is alive and well in the hands of this Hole-influenced UK trio, who have already supported ‘dream band’ Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Signing off for the year. Last parcels packed, time to swap the parcel tape for mince pies. And butter pies, of course.
It's been an incredible year for us. 6 releases from 5 different bands. Albums of the year accolades. Daytime radio play. We have broken even this year for the first time ever.
Big steps forward.

So - THANK YOU for your support in 2023. Whether for Chum, Thank, Hauspoints, TV Face, or Evil Blizzard, we and all the bands pass on their gratitude.

Next year looks like not slowing down - new 7" from Evil Blizzard in February, at least three albums confirmed already and 2 other 7" releases. New Filthydirty solo album. Talk of a Krom album and a new Evil Blizzard EP later in the year.

Lost some good friends this year. Gained some new ones.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and restful holiday season.

Cheers all
John & Stoko

“Just when you think there’s nothing new under the sun, a band like Evil Blizzard show you how wrong you can be”
Nice.
And today we play with two bands I’ve idolised pretty much all my life, Ruts/Ruts DC and The Chameleons
Happy weekend folks!

Seems most people are getting their Evil Blizzard albums over the past day or two.
Thanks a billion million for the support and kind words. Been a few c**k ups with orders sent out twice, but the majority of c**k ups have been people actually ordering the album twice without realising it. (Insert gag about blizzard fans drinking too much/no common sense etc etc)
DOWNLOAD CODES: all the vinyl comes with codes. Please use them. Please give them away. We’ve paid for them in the album cos when I buy vinyl I like a dl as well and everything we release we release with us in mind as punters.
Every download to a new punter adds them to our mailing list and increases our online presence if only a tad.
Similarly if anyone is skint and wants a free download drop us a message - that goes for anything on the label.

Invite people to like our page or the blizzard page. Follow us on insta and twitter. Makes a small difference.
See you Sunday for the awesome Morecambe punk festival onstage 10pm.

Soz.

Morning all.
Yet another rave review for the amazing Evil Blizzard album.
Update on orders: as we only got the vinyl delivered on Saturday (6 weeks late 😵‍💫) we’re getting the orders sorted this week. All black vinyl will be shipping tonight and some pink, but we’re still waiting for the rest of the pink I’m afraid.
Hopefully these will be with us and out to you by the end of the week.
Apologies for the delay; out of our hands.
All tees and hoodies will be sent out either tonight or Wednesday.

If you have never heard or seen them, let me explain, Evil Blizzard have comprised at varying times a drummer vocalist, a keyboard player guitarist and four bass players, yes four bass players. The band also wear rubber masks a la Texas Chainsaw Massacre and have been compared to a sort of Victorian...
