WT07 - Moat - s/t tape

This has been available for a month or two now, but typically, we've neglected to blog about it.

First recorded output from new London band Moat. 4 tracks of brutal, bleak, 90s'style metallic hardcore - though strictly not 'metalcore' - political Catharsis worship, inspired by Orwell and Debord. Poignant lyrics about the fragility of mental health in modern civilisation, and humankind's eternal conflict with nature. A must have. 

They have a Split 7" with Tyburn coming out soon on Hemlock 13 records from Leeds, which we'll hopefully stock too.

WT06 - Martha - Martha EP

This is a very special release for us. Very different to our usual deal, but very close to our hearts. Martha is a four-piece powerpop ensemble from the North East of England.  Martha are members of ONSIND, Fashanu, Speeding Bee & more, and are all old friends of Will's (his old nickname was 'Speeding Bee Will'). This first CD release was recorded in a blanket fort in Gateshead in January 2012.

5 bittersweet songs about Audre Lorde, Ernest Hemingway, The Seneca Falls Convention & more.

FFO: The Marked Men via Motown, The Housemartins via Pity Me. Ted Leo via Chester-le-Street.

This is a split release with Discount Horse Records.

Many many apologies for such a sparsely-updated blog... We have so much in the pipeline for 2012, we'll try to keep on top of it!

We've had two incredible shows in the last month: Boredom / Pettybone / Lich / Momentum & Moat, and Trainwreck / Hammers / Light Bearer & Sky:Lark. We're still getting our heads around how awesome both shows were - thanks to everyone who came, played, and/or helped us out! Photos to come.

Below you'll find information about our last few releases, all of which are now available, and we've been really proud to be involved in:

• WT02 - BØREDØM "World Bores to Death" LP
• WT03 - Black Everest s/t 7"
• WT04 - Hungry Lungs - demo 7"
• WT06 - Martha - Martha EP

The eruption of lived pleasure is such that in losing myself I find myself; forgetting that I exist, I realize myself.
