No one knew where or when the second one would hit, but we recently got our answer. While Australia slept, the second Golden Ticket was found... in the small town of Mildura, VIC.

Downtuned Records will distribute the Pizza Death pack to the winner.

Unbelievably there is still 1 more ticket to be found.

Downtuned Records have found a few copies of the first pressing which will go on our website shortly.

DREC005 - OUT NOW

Recorded at Def Wolf Studios in Sydney at the height of the COVID pandemic, Survival of the Rotten is the fourth release from Wretch - the first since the 2015 album Tirades.

Downtuned Records have debut the band on 12” vinyl, and tracks have been mastered specifically for the vinyl format. This limited first pressing of 150 copies are released on 180 gram and cut on 45 RPM for optimum fidelity.
