Thanks to everyone who came to the Fuk Reading gig over the Bank Holiday weekend and gave us such a great reception, another eventful Reknaw production so thanks to Risky, Bev and Austen for their efforts.


Since the last update we have been busy working on finishing new material for the next 7''. We are recording in September and are all excited with the songs so far, no dramatic changes just more of the same - but better! No fuss, no mess just pure impact... more information when we have actually recorded the songs.


We have some more gigs confirmed which are on the gigs page, we are also organising a couple more. We unfortunately had to turn down a few gigs and events recently due to prior commitments but please still get in touch if you are interested in us playing as we always try and work something out if at all possible.

30/06/08

Another long overdue update as I had far more interesting things to do! We have played some great gigs recently. Particularly fun were the 3 we did with Diskelma who are a great band - check out their new 'Fun Is Over' LP. We have a few more gigs confirmed including playing the Saturday of the Fuk Reading festival on the 23/08/08 please see the gig page for details.


The slow grinding march to the recording studio continues...but the good news is we have 5 raging new tracks that are ready to be recorded. Once we have finished working on a couple more we will be looking to get into the studio before the end of the summer, it's sounding good and all being well we will be releasing a new 7'' before the year is out.


‘Black Ways Of War’ from the Liberation 7’’ is featured on the Angry Scenes 3 compilation CD please see here for further details. We have a few of these CD's available so send us e-mail if you are interested.


At some point in the near future in the spirit of direct DIY you will be able to buy all our releases plus T-shirts, etc direct from us on this site but in the meantime please e-mail us and we'll sort something out, cheers.

 

28/04/08

We've have been busy rehearsing and continuing to write some new material. The tracks are sounding brutal and we are going to be playing some of it at the upcoming gigs. Unfortunately we are not playing London on the 03/05/08 but will be playing the Scumfest benefit gig on the 09/05/08. After that we have some gigs with the mighty Diskelma from Finland, sadly due to work /life we can't do the whole tour but we are playing the first weekend with them. Also we will be playing at the Snottingham Punk Crime Capital, as the Nottingham punx picnic is now called, in June with Cress and Oi Polloi amongst others check out the website for details, it looks like a great bill. See the gigs page for details.

We now have new T-shirts incl. a new double-sided Liberation design with Sonia's awesome artwork on the front and back. We also have more of the original Cop design from the demo/7'' cover. Also we have a variety of patches. Pictures up on the site soon. If you want one T-shirts are £6.00 + P&P. Drop us a line and we'll work something out. The shopping cart thing is on hold at the moment so it’s the old fashioned way all the way!


19/03/08 Thanks to everyone that came to the recent gigs in Nottingham, Southampton and the Discharge gig in Brighton. All were fun in their own way and it was good to see friends old and new. We are looking forward to the Seein'Red gig in Brighton on the 22/03/08 which is also a Birthday celebration for Ralf, a good friend of ours (everybody's?!?), with a few other quality bands, see the gig page for full details.

Upcoming gigs confirmed include the North London Punks Picnic. It's a 4-day event 29/05/08 to 01/06/8 that is Thurs. to Sun. and we are playing on Fri. night. Checkout their website for more details on the event, there are some awesome bands playing over the festival which will raise funds for some worthy causes. We were also asked to play the Faslane peace camp at their Punks Picnic on 02-04/05/08, details here, but unfortunately we cannot do it. The event is attracting attention to the long running protest at Faslane Naval Base, plus a Beltane celebration in itself. Naturally it's worth supporting if you can and we are disappointed we can't make it.

There are some major updates on the way on the website in the near future including a link to enable online purchasing of all our releases, etc. plus other quality DIY punk stuff from the distro.

We are also still continuing to work on new material for a couple of upcoming releases. It all does seem to take a lot longer than you'd think...

 

07/02/08 Thanks to everyone that organised our recent gigs in Bristol, Birmingham, Newcastle and Glasgow and all those who came along. In particular Si and Kate, Will and Andy Scoot, whose efforts are all much appreciated. We are playing a anti fascist benefit in Nottingham on Saturday 09/02/08, with Liberty amongst others so please come along and support it if you are anywhere nearby. We have also confirmed gigs in Southampton, Brighton (with Discharge and Seein' Red!) and London. Please click on the links or see the gig pages for full details.


We have almost sold out of T-shirts and will be printing more plus some with a new design very soon, details on here once we have them. We are continuing to write for the next 7'' and will be recording once we have a few more tracks finished.

 

11/01/08 To kick off the New Year we are playing a long weekend up north this month, before anyone complains remember we're in Brighton so almost everywhere in the UK is north to us! It is starting on the 25/01/08 in Birmingham, 26/01/08 Newcastle and the 27/01/08 in Glasgow, click on the links for flyers. We also have gigs coming up in Bristol, Nottingham, Southampton and Brighton over the next couple of months.

Other news is that we are working on recording another 7''. We have some new material written that we'll be playing alongside the old tunes at the upcoming gigs and we are working on some more at the moment. We are looking at recording sometime in the next few months.

In the meantime we still have copies of both the self/titled and Liberation 7''s but unfortunately have sold out of the compilation 7''. We also still have a limited number of the Angry Scenes compilation CD, and the CDR demo. Please e-mail for details if you’re interested.

 

13/12/07

Another long overdue update, firstly the Southampton gig on Sunday 16/12/07 has been moved to a different venue, details on the gigs page. Regrettably we have had to pull out of the Boston gig on Dec. 22/12/07 but it is still going ahead so if you were going go along anyway and check out Whole In The Head.

We now have copies of the self-titled 7'' released on Tadpole and it’s available from us for sale/trade. We think the demo tracks sound even better on the vinyl so if you liked the CDR demo spoil yourself and get a copy, we don't think you’ll be disappointed!

We are in the process of arranging some more UK dates and looking to go back to mainland Europe in the Spring, probably Holland, Germany and maybe Belgium. We also will be back in the studio in the New Year to record a new 7’’ and some tracks for some other projects. We’ll publish more news as these plans slowly take shape.


 

16/10/07 We've had the test pressings for the Tadpole 7'' back and they sound awesome, the vinyl gives it more bottom end than on the orginal CDR so we are pleased so far! We will have copies for sale/trade very soon and it'll be announced on here. The Inepsy gig/party in Brighton was utter chaos and enjoyed by everyone, so thanks to everyone who helped out and made it happen, never again...!

Unfortunately the Born/Dead gig in Boston on 14/10/07 was cancelled but we are playing in Boston on the 22/12/07. We have also got gigs lined up in Portsmouth, London, Southampton and Glasgow in the next few months, check the gig pages for details. Our next gig is with Born/Dead in Brighton on the 26/10/07

 

11/09/07 The Inepsy gig in Brighton is at Studio 284 on Wednesday 12/09/07,details on the flyer. It's going to be a late one but looks like it'll be fun. We have also confirmed gigs with Born/Dead in Boston and Brighton. Please see the Gig page for details.
30/08/07 To start this overdue update we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to the recent Brighton gig we put on, War All The Time and Whole In the Head both played blinding sets and a good drunk punk fuckin' rock evening was had by all. Also thanks to Nath and Luke for putting us on in Southampton at the end of June with the Subhumans and SH57, another blinding gig!

We are in the process of organising some more gigs that will be posted on the gigs page as they become confirmed. To kick it off we are playing in Brighton with Inepsy and SH57 on the 12/09/07 the venue tbc.

As previously mentioned Darren from Tadpole Records is releasing our 5 track demo CDR on 7'' vinyl. This is definitely going ahead and will be a similar package, same tracks and artwork, etc, but with some additional new artwork on the back of the sleeve as we now have more space to be creative with! It should be avaliable sometime next month or so and we will have some copies for sale. We are taking pre-orders now and the price will be £3.00 ppd or £2.50 at gigs. If you are interested in wholesale/trade please get in touch with us or contact Darren at Tadpole and we can work something out.

Finally it is with regret we have to share some sad news. Stephane Adamski from Squawk Records who helped put out our recent single was found dead last week. We met as Adam got in touch with us as he loved our demo and asked if he could get get involved if we were releasing anything. He subsequently helped us out because of a shared passion for the message and music of the punk/DIY scene. He was one of the good guys. Our sympathies and regrets are with Stephane's (Adam's) family and friends.

 

27/06/07

Thanks to everyone that came to Snottingham and Scumfest gigs and to the promoters for inviting us to play and making it happen.

Next gig is with the Subhumans in Southampton on the 28/06/07, details on the gig page.

We are really pleased that Tadpole records have offered to put out our first demo as a 7''. It'll have all the songs, artwork from the CDR plus a slightly reworked cover. This should be out at some point over the summer. We also have a few other things planned for the later in the year and naturally will publish the details here as soon as they are confirmed.

Also cheers to all the gig promoters for looking after us and all the other bands and everyone who came to the gigs, it was much appreciated and we had a blast.
