 Eternities Album £7.50 Released 29th September 2008
IGUT formed in 2002 in Zagreb, Croatia, and since then have developed their own style of black rock: brutal guitars, heavy drumming and dark lyrics all layered together to create a wall of intense negativity and strength. Their varied influences include: Converge, Opeth, Mastodon, Neurosis, All, Descendents, Led Zeppelin.....and surprisingly, Johnny Cash, and they have taken inspiration from these and others for their debut album for Mother Should Know Records. Recorded and produced in Zagreb by Ivan Jakić, 'Eternities' is a call to arms, relentless and uncompromising. IGUT are determined to bring their music out of Croatia where they have received massive support on Student Radio and also featured on ZI Croatian TV Channel. For the last few years they have been firm favourites on the Festival Circuit in Croatia, and Slovenia supporting many well-respected bands on the Eastern European leg of their tours.

| Souls Simple Terms and Conditions Album £7.50 Released 22nd September 2008
Building on a positive reaction to their first album, SOULS have been inspired by sonic soundscapes for their second album, 'Simple Terms and Conditions'.

The self-titled album was a sudden idea born of skulls, tattoos of skulls, motorbikes, heavy metal influences and a dislike of 'scarf culture'. It came together during a week of recording with John Kettle in a studio on a greyhound breeding farm in Wigan.......a place not well-known for alternative rock and blues until now........... With Bad Brains, White Zombie, Hank Williams and the Beastie Boys listed as their listening preferences, it’s not surprising that this album is a turbulent musical assault. They’ve shared the stage with Heavy Trash and Domino Bones and will be playing on two days at the Forgotten Valley Festival in Cumbria in May 2008 (headliners Happy Mondays). Only £7.50 (FREE UK shipping!) |

| A New Day Perfect Passion Mini-Album £3.75 Released 19th May 2008
Based in Llantwit Major, a coastal town of South Wales, but feeling more like time-travellers on the M4 in recent years, A NEW DAY have gigged the length and breadth of the UK touring and sharing the stage with many of their favourite bands: A Wilhelm Scream; The Casualties; Failsafe; Sonic Boom Six; 4ft Fingers and The Disappointments.

Something they want to convey to as many people as possible through their live shows. 'Perfect Passion' was recorded and mixed by Todd Cambell at SKWAD HQ Pontypridd, which is fast becoming the studio of choice for a clutch of emerging Welsh bands and it sums up the enthusiasm, drive and punk rock attitude existing in the band.

They have played several small Swedish festivals; been featured on public service radio and played on TV NORD's 'Dromedar' programme when they shared the stage with a Christmas tree and a stuffed camel!

| Blast Stereos Loud Burn EP £3.75 Released 22nd October 2007 1. Burn 2. Long Time Dead 3. A Hollywood Ending 4. Leave Tonight Behind After early beginnings in 2001, the final line-up of BLAST STEREOS LOUD was completed in 2005. Since then with constant touring and crowd participation both at shows and on the net, they have carved out an impressive and appreciative fanbase. Emerging from the new music scene in Stoke on Trent, they may soon be on a collision course with other more established touring bands. A force to be reckoned with! Driven beyond doubt by an innate passion for the music they play, BLAST STEREOS LOUD combine emotive lyrical hooks with haunting chord progressions. The band like to keep the music dark and the melody light, finding that this contrast attracts a wider audience to their music. BSL always try and justify that the two sides of their music; serious, dark, deep songs and on the other hand happy uplifting "tap your foot" songs. Post-Hardcore/Emo/Punk Rock at its best!

What's All The Commotion? 5. My Life Under A Bus Shelter 6. 4am Onwards Based in Exmouth, band members Ed, Alex and Matt formed a band at school after sharing the same passion for playing music which was slightly different to typical teenage pop punk school bands. Listening to bands like At The Drive-In and Deftones has influenced the way their songs are written - you can feel the passion and energy coming across on the CD which is something they love to achieve. The band describes their music as Progressive, Experimental, Dynamic Post-Hardcore, and you can’t get nearer to it than that! The title of the E.P. refers to how people tell themselves what they want to hear because it can be easier than facing the truth. Lyrically the songs document different stages and aspects of personal situations, but not necessarily those of the band members. Highlighted by memorable guitar riffs, superb vocals and chunky sounding drums this has to be a release that will catch everyone's attention. RESONATE do not follow any image; they're 100% about the music which is an advantage because they are not automatically judged by what they wear; giving them the power to surprise people.

We Let Them Fall Down 6. I.C. G.o.C describe there music as twisted, deranged pop songs, though at first listen you can be easily distracted by the raw, hyperactive sound of screeching and shimmering guitar’s and a rhythm section so precise you would think they were half machine, but underneath at the core of the songs lies sharp melodies and undeniable talent for a hook that draws you deeper into the music. Fused with front man Jed’s intense yet distinctive vocal delivery and his ability to adapt to represent the light and dark sides of this band, intelligent song structures, jaw dropping explosive live shows and a sound so unrestricted and unfazed by today’s ever growing predictable music scene, Governors of California are a truly original force that is hard to compare and yet be matched. Governors of California were formed in 2005, based on the idea of writing intelligent and unpredictable pop music. Before long, one of there songs caught the attention of producer Gavin Monaghan (Editors, Killswitch engage, Bloc Party)who invited them to record there debut E.P ‘I.C’ at his Magic Garden studios. Recorded and mixed in one day, The E.P eventually ended up at the door of lockjaw records. Numerous conversations later, G.o.C were invited to join the roster and offered an album deal which has now been finalised. With the debut mini-album ‘Pressure Points’ finished and penned for release in late Spring, New member Taz,bought in for guitar duties and gigs being lined up all around the U.K, catch them while you can. In the bands own words “Were you’re new favourite band, you just don’t know it yet”. Only £2.00 (FREE UK shipping!) |
