Heavy duty update today! No less than FIVE new releases out: 3 new tapes, an LP and a flexi! Unfortunately the printer fucked up the Abigail sleeves so it’ll have to wait for release in a couple of weeks, but I wanted these out there so here we go!
This is one of my best release days ever, I’m really chuffed how this new tape place is working out, they look and sound the absolute business. And still only four quid. There’s some amount of the shite out there that’s getting peddled for a lot more money and with a lot less thought and effort put into it. These tapes see three long-time AWWFN stallwarts returning after a few years away: Mories of Gnaw Their Tongues with his new project OFFERBEEST; the best band in Glasgow bar none, VOM; and CULVER, my favourite fella in the world.
There’s a new flexi disc (see description for my somewhat ropey reasoning on deciding to do a series of flexis) from PARANOID, who I caught live in Edinburgh in a mad dash to deliver said records before my car falling apart and having to miss them in Glasgow. Regardless, they are fucking brilliant, top fellas, and punk as fuck.
Finally a new LP by HEADLESS KROSS – the first in a trilogy! We went for it with the packaging for this one, hand-screened and assembled sleeves which look the absolute business. Very limited: only 100 copies! Will go fast.
Top distro update this month too, got a big batch of new COIL reissues in (Coil gear always goes insanely fast so get on it!), as well as some great post-punk/cold wave, beat/psych, and a bunch of grindcore and the usual lofi grotty crud. What other distro is there where you can buy a Skip Bifferty LP, a split 7″ of Brazilian noisecore and a comp of 80s cold wave? Absolutely fuck all anywhere is the correct answer, cos everyone’s boring fuckin’ autists who need the world to be compartmentalised into neat wee genre boxes all the time. Fuck that! At War marching into 2017!
