Moshpit Tragedy, purveyors of the mighty Amebix and other worthy noise merchants, are having a few problems with their old web URL. So they've bought a new one - http://moshpittragedy.com - which will be their permanent home from now on. And they're asking their friends to spread the word. So there ya go.
They're working on [...]

It's nice to know that my efforts here have a positive knock-on effect elsewhere - just check out this email I received yesterday:
Hey, Randy from Insurgence Records here, hope this finds you doing well. Just wanted to say 'Thanks!' for the kind words you've written about Insurgence on the blog. It's very much appreciated...honestly, blurbs [...]

Hailing from Edinburgh in Jockland, Archbishop Kebab were a very strange brew indeed. Their particular melting pot combined a confrontational anarcho-punk perspective with a sound that's half The Ex, half Gogol Bordello and half crusty new-age traveller skank. [...]

When I got a bit of cash from my mum at Xmas, there was nothing I really wanted or needed at the time, so I decided to wait a bit for the right moment for it to play its part in the capitalist mode of exchange.
That moment came in late February, when I was perusing [...]

Yet another band from my crusty traveller yesteryear who kinda lost the plot for a bit when they signed to a major label, disappeared for quite a while and have now popped up on the [...]

Another one of my favourite micro-labels, Suburban Home, is offering their latest release, Ghost Buffalo's 'The Magician', as a free download to the first 200 people to click the link in the post. They're keen for people to hear it, hopefully like it, spread the word, and maybe buy a copy and encourage others to [...]

As I've probably said more than once before, I like to get my music delivered through the post. Not only does it mean I usually deal direct with the label or band, it's cheaper, there are often freebies and, most importantly, I love getting a parcel [...]

This band should need no introduction. As the official Godfathers Of Crust™ before the term was even coined (credit for that goes to Hellbastard with their 'Ripper Crust' demo), they were personally responsible for adding the dark and crushing edge [...]
