Once again limited to 100 copies, this years volume comes in 100% PCW recycled chipboard packaging with cover atwork and insert. On top of this the tape comes available in (provisionally) ten different colours, with 10 of each - red, mid blue, dark blue, green, orange, grey, lilac, purple, pink, and black.

We have made available a package so it is possible to buy all ten different colours for a discounted price. As its Christmas - anyone who buys this package will receive a bunch of other free stuff too, and i mean good stuff.

Side A is comprised of cover songs and the tracklisting will only be revealed upon purchase. Believe us this is massively worth it!

Side B is exclusive or rare songs. Of particular note is perhaps Easy Hips and Le Swing collaborating on a christmas themed thrashtastic original composition!

Holy Roar will be releasing a 4-way split 7" featuring 4 of our favourite new UK bands!

Featuring miniature spazz-drums-bass-indie-freakout kids Run, Walk!, OTT Bucket Full Of Teeth-esque drum machine screamo from Le Swing, nudity-loving Brighton ROCKIN screamo tykes Easy Hips and finally hipster grind rockers Dreamboats, this is looking like 6 tracks of some of the most promising UK bands that remember golden eras for screamo and noise-rock. Limited to 320 copies in Holy Roar packaging, this will be out in Aug/Sept. You can listen to clips of all bands on our myspace or download the mp3 that has clips of all bands here

We should be ready to announce the other two vinyl releases later this month!

Having released (under their previous alias) a split 7” with Rolo Tomassi, a limited edition tape and a solo debut single YOUVES are vocal proponents of the independent spirit; like Black Flag being produced by James Murphy, but without the steroids and militant dogma. They’re an efficient machine, well flexed, high on beer and protein, poised to steal hearts, minds and girlfriends. The debut cd by your favourite dance-punks is finally here!
