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.

WT04 - Hungry Lungs - demo 7"

Incredible modern hardcore, the pummelling drums, raging vocals and concise riffs will hit you in the chest, leaving no time to recover. This record encapsulates what harcore means to us; our involvement with this band came from our friendship with Adrien (Glaucoma Releases) who, when he joined the band, excitedly sent us some recordings, asking us if we'd like to take part in the release. We didn't regret it at all. A shining example of German hardcore! For fans of Alpinist, Converge, Ressurectionists, His Hero is Gone etc.

Co-released with Halo of Flies, Farblos, Contraszt!, React With Protest, and our favourite sweethearts, Parade of Spectres.

100 gold & 400 black pressed, in beautiful silkscreened covers.

Sold out from most labels within a month or so....

WT03 - Black Everest s/t 7"

Ex/current Only for the Sake of Aching & Lentic Waters, Black Everest are powerful yet playful, and difficult to categorise; somewhere between hardcore, screamo and atmospheric crust. Totalling over 11 minutes of solid hardcore, the demo is a fine representative of modern German hardcore. Split LP with Dutch atmospheric screamo veterans Captain, Your Ship is Sinking out in 2012.

Co-released by us, Moment of Collapse, Time as a Color, Farblos, Communication is not Words & more

800 pressed on black vinyl, 200 grey vinyl. Released Summer 2011

February

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.  

WT02 - BØREDØM "World Bores to Death" LP

On this awesome 11 track full length, Austria’s Børedøm plough through a mix of powerful D-beat mixed with modern crust. The best description we’ve heard is “think of Mötorhead mixed with His Hero Is Gone with strong political lyrics!” Børedøm are pissed off with the gratuitous, ubiquitous filth of modern life and play loud and fast.

Ex - Plague Mass & Fall of Efrafa.

This is a co-release with an awesome plethora of labels. Pretty cool!
