It’s The Most Depressing Day Of The Year…
Hurrah!

.......................................................................................
So get your razors out of the cupboard and get your nooses ready according to them Science types today is ‘Blue Monday’ apparently we are all depressed and hacked off because everyone is penniless and Christmas is all over and junk.
To be honest I think its complete shite as I’m alarmingly chipper today.
If you are suffering from ‘Blue Monday’ have a cup of tea and pull yourself together you massive bell jar.

Anywho…

Defcon – Neon Nights and Amorth – Await Me Now are released today these fine albums can be purchased from the sidebar on the right of the page or from the shop for dreadfully reasonable prices. Get on it and buy buy buy (buy) Also from iTunes click here for Defcon and here for Amorth.

More release news, looking forward pre-orders are up for two of the Mother Should Know releases in the Spring, for Shirukume’s debut EP Speaking In Colours, which comes with a free poster for pre-order customers along with free UK shipping. Then in April we have Bastard Of The Skies latest offering and their first on MSK Ichor! Ichor! 9 tracks of sludgy, noisy metal joy. It’s like having your face smashed about continuously by a stoned elephant wielding a brick. Get on.

On that note check the MSK website here, there is loads of new stuff, you can get a good look at the Shirukume artwork and see the new disgustingly bright layout.

Also in April there will be a Lockjaw Records split CD featuring spanking new tracks from these fine folks:

Klay
thisfamiliarsmile
Fights And Fires
Bull See Red
1 more band to be confirmed.

It’s going to be available for download and physically at shows from the Spring, more details about it soon.

Also in spring we gots some new stuff from Bull See Red and probably some more from Klay and thisfamiliarsmile. Exciting times.

The snow has melted, standard on/off grey skies and crappy drizzle has returned.

Oh and Fights And Fires have got new merch up to buy and are poor help those guys out and they might pleasure you..maybe.
