I‘ve been asked recently about this after the Record Store Day poll as we didn’t really lobby at all for votes and to be honest my opinion is that we just try to do our best doing what we do and I have no wish to be seen as better or worse than any other […]
As usual there is a fair amount of comment about the T Break list. It always puts me off when a band is recommended to me on the basis they are friends with / related to another band, have influential management or have other good contacts. Aerials Up for instance were first mentioned to me […]

Everything’s Getting Older ~ Ltd Edition Triple Vinyl (courtesy of Chemikal Underground) An exceptional, deluxe version of this very special album, ‘Everything’s Getting Older’ is available as a triple LP with two bonus 12″ and a host of extras… […]

We also have the EP from Where We Lay Our Heads featuring members of SHMB for £2.99. Jenny Soep’s exhibition has been so popular we have extended it […]
