VA - Terminal Decay LP / Artcore Fanzine #29

The Old Punk — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:09:30 +0000

AKA 'Artcore Vinyl Fanzine Volume Five'. Punk rock fixture 'n' fitting Welly is back with yet another broadside in his war against mediocrity in the zine scene. And he's a veteran in every sense - this is issue #29 of the exceptional 'Artcore', an organ that he's been thrusting into the hands of grateful punks [...]

Responding to the earnest demands of aged aesthetes, veteran crusters Misery have had their recent DIY download-only release pressed on to vinyl by the good people at Inimical Records. Not any old vinyl, of course. It's a double album, cut at 45rpm to ensure maximum heaviness, on beautiful grey splatter vinyl [...]

No, not that one, the proper one.

This is a limited vinyl pressing (300, each numbered) of their first new studio tracks in 25 years, originally released on MCD in 2009. The band have put this out to raise money for Bradford's legendary '1 in 12 Club', who are facing large bills [...]

Squat The Lot!

The Old Punk — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:46:39 +0000

I've been using whatever remnants of knowledge and wisdom I have in my head to help a young punk put this benefit compilation together. And I'm very excited by how it's turning out.

There are some great acts involved, covering the whole gamut of punk, ska, folk and other related noise, and they've all given their [...]

Old Distro Closed, New One Open!

The Old Punk — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:20:29 +0000

Some of you may have noticed that I had a small distro hidden within these pages. Many of you probably didn't. So, in an effort to make things more visible (and make it easier to spread the word), I've removed the page here and given it a makeover and domain all of its own. So [...]

The Freebooters - Ordinary Level Oi! CD

The Old Punk — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:41:11 +0000

The Freebooters play no-nonsense ska-tinged streetpunk with a big fucking smile on its face! This is one infectious album, full of life and energy. It's clear to hear that these Irish girls and boys have a burning desire to stand up and shout 'Shut the fuck up! Listen! Dance! Change the fuckin' world!', a task [...]

Spanner In The Manor

The Old Punk — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:13:48 +0000

This is a quick heads-up to let you know that my good friends Spanner are on the verge of releasing 'Crisis', their first full-length album, in April. It'll be available on both CD and 12 inches of shiny vinyl and is a collaborative effort between some of my favourite DIY labels - Active Distribution, Pumpkin [...]

I'm posting this on behalf of Bill, the bloke behind the excellent Rodent Popsicle Records. He's a top fella and you could do far worse than take full advantage of this generous offer. Take the 'mindless' out of 'mindless consumerism' and get your hands on some of the absolute bargains to be had from him [...]

Old Crust For New Bread

The Old Punk — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 04:29:49 +0000

Oli of Civilisation Records is putting out a repress of Hellbastard's classic first studio LP 'Heading For Internal Darkness'. Having bought stuff from him before I know and appreciate the time and effort he puts in to producing some really tasty bits of vinyl, and this looks to be no different.

Artwork printing and plastic pressing [...]
