Dead & Powered - Many thanks to everyone who braved some horrendus weather to be in Bradford at the weekend. All 8 bands were on top form and it was great to see the club rammed full of hardcore kids. Some pics are floating about and i will link them up to the website soon. JUSTICE stole the show going out of the UK with a huge bang. Look out for the DVD in the spring.

Black Friday '29 ‹ The Pursuit Of Happiness › LP out now!!
It seems like a lifetime ago that ‹ The Escape › landed on our door. One of Europe’s best loved and hardest working hardcore bands - Black Friday are back and this is no whimpering attempt at a second LP . The band has never sounded as tight, hard and full of intent. Whilst the recorded output has been slow the band hasn’t slowed down with constant shows and touring including a visit to the with their friends in Death Before Dishonour. Anyone who saw them own Ninjafest recently knows that this band is still a serious force. You will also have heard a lot of these new tracks. The title track is a pounding opener which brings all their influences to the floor - Judge, YOT with a bit of the Cro Mags thrown in. ‹ Bitter Sweet › slows things down - driving and mid paced almost Mouthpiece esq. This is BF29 evolving their sound without a total departure from what won us all over.
We have a limited amount of coloured vinyl left including some copies on purple which is the pressing done for the bands winter tour. Limited to 200 copies we have a few in stock but to be able to catch one get to one of these dates. We’ll be in Dublin.
Pre-orders all shipped out last week. Hope they land soon. December was a bad month to release a record - might have learnt that by now…
We also have copies of the CD in stock released by Niko @ BLACKTOP

DOWN & OUTS ‹ FRIDAY NIGHTS, MONDAY MORNINGS › CD & LP OUT NOW!!
We think the D&O are amongst a rare collection of bands who get better and better with each release. The lads followed ‹ Boys From The Blackstuff › with 2 Ep’s and a split with Death Is Not Glamorous. ‹ Friday Nights… › is a journey through the weekend and has a firm stamp of their city and the characters living within it.
‹ Living For The Weekend › is the friday night escape and blasts out of the speakers. Its part Clash, part Buzzcocks blended together with a shared love of Bay Area punk like ‹ …wolves › ear Rancid, Lookout era Green Day. New track ‹ No Warning › is a short sharp shock of 77 punk with classic D&O singalongs, which always make live shows a blast. On the final hurdle of the weekend you get hit with the Saturday night frustration of ‹ Get A Grip ›. Perhaps the best song these scousers have written it’s a big kick in the balls to let downs and bad mates. Underpinning this journey is location. Liverpool defines everything about the make up of the band and the music they share with us. The love of street punk, pop punk is all underpinned by that world famous sense of melody. ‹ The End Of The Line › is the LP closer and is a Sunday night headache full of realisation that the boredom of 9-5 is approaching. A brilliant track, which is classic Down & Outs. You will love it.
This is real – no fake American accents or ‹ wannabe › delusions. If punk still exists in 2007 its certainly breeding out of the forgotten estates of Liverpool and not fashionista magazines or shitty package tours. If you’ve not heard the Down & Outs yet I feel sorry for you - make amends

DISTRO BLOW OUT
Partly as we’re full of festive cheer (thanks to the stumbling Blades. LOL) we have slashed the prices of ALL of our distributed titles including some newly added stock. Check it out for some bargins. This will stay on offer until the end of December. We want a clean out for a fresh start to January. Snap it up
