Aotea's brand new EP!

Aotea's second recording.. spazz-jazz-grind-pop at its best! This EP is even more chaotic than the highly loved (and hated) 2005 debut Apocalypse in Transmetropolita. Enjoy with cake and tea.

Pre-Orders galore

Three new items up for pre-order today!

Firstly, it's the absolutely brilliant Chickenhawk album! Twelve tracks of swaggering hardcore with the best metal tinged stoner riffs you'll hear all year. Think slapstick Melvins or High on Fire and you're there. Truly awesome artwork and packaging design by Chris from defunct UK grind heroes Narcosis.

You can listen to two tracks from this very exciting record on Chickenhawk's Myspace.

Secondly, we have the new EP from SD first ever signees Aotea. Unfortunately this is their last ever recorded material as they have disbanded since their last show. We have however, made it super-special by pressing it on transparent coloured CDs, with hand-made printed acetate overlays. We've yet to see the finished product but the CDs look something like the picture below! Each colour is limited to only 10 copies, and unfortunately we can't offer the option of specifying which colour you want. However, if you order more than one copy we'll make sure you get different ones!


Last but certainly not least, we are very proud to announce that we will be covering the UK and Ireland territory release for the debut album from French power-rock duo Karysun. Karysun feature a member of legendary (in screamo circles anyway!) band Amanda Woodward. 'Interceptor' is a colossal piece of work that sounds something like a more high-powered distorted Torche. Have a listen for yourself on their myspace to make you're own mind up! Either way... it's immense. Ten track album in a 4-panel digipak.

Distro Mania!

We have removed our distro items from our site. We are going to take some time to restock and improve our distro selection to re-launch it, most likely under a new name and new website, some time later this year or next. (Ed. As you can see, we've put it up for the moment, with some new titles. We'll hopefully take it down again soon, and act on this plan at a later date).

In the meantime we ARE still interested in TRADES and WHOLESALE!

Also... sorry to anyone who has tried to buy from us but found the buttons don't work. I am currently re-doing all Paypal buttons on the site, but please let us know if this happens again.

Naked Shit available now.

Naked Shit's eighty minute, one track debut album is available NOW!

Some of you may have managed to see them supporting Wolves In The Throne Room on Sunday and I think everyone would agree it was a great night! Cheers to everyone that came and said Hi.

On to other news, we are expecting the TPSQ LP's to be delivered on Thursday. We are very excited and getting ready for the mass sending out! If you have ordered a copy, expect to see it soon. Please be patient - don't email us if it doesn't reach you on Monday, it may take longer. Just wait it out.

In other news, SD are going to be interviewed for a small documentary about the music scene in Nottingham. It'll be shown on some obscure Sky channel, though we'll see if we can put it up on our YouTube channel. There's nothing on it now, but hopefully we'll have some videos to put up there soon.
