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 [...] Fellow punk Alex Distro-y has started a blog dedicated to listing all of the latest releases from the punk world, as well as other relevant news, events and so on. I don't know exactly what Alex's definition of punk for this particular site is but, from what I know of him, I'm guessing he's on [...] WOW. For the first time in many, many years, I've been left speechless. A few minutes ago, settling down with my first cuppa and fag of the day, I browsed to my email account for the site. There was one new message waiting. A quick click, a brief scan and my mouth dropped open. I still [...] I'm really pleased to announce that my request for new recruits has borne fruit, and a right plump n' juicy piece he is too! So, without further ado, say hello to Ernest Embryo. A few words about myself… Well I'm another old punk though not quite as old as The Old Punk, born in '68. Basically I'm [...] OPND is recruiting now! I could do with more old punks (or even some younger ones with a bit of suss) joining up with the OPND Soviet – it seems a shame that my postings here are so intermittent when there's all this space available. You don't have to rip anything (although I'm certainly not going to [...] I've been mulling over this for a while now, but I've decided to take the plunge and start encoding my rips as FLACs rather than MP3s. It's the best way of ensuring as flawless a copy as possible of the original vinyl (within the restrictions of the kit I use). With a FLAC file you're [...] It's been a busy weekend. Friday and Saturday saw me catching up with mates from near and far, nothing too hectic but still requiring me to be a bit of a social butterfly. Then came Sunday night, spent in the company of Geoffrey Oi!Cott, Valdez, Spiteful Way (their last ever gig, boo!) and some other scallywags [...] So I've made it to my century post. Hurrah! Thanks for hanging around, and I hope you've not been too disappointed. I've actually quite enjoyed myself, despite periodically not actually doing anything very much at all here. Anyway, it's got me thinking afresh about this here blogging lark, and my occasional inabilty (hah!) to get my [...] Profane Existence are drastically scaling back operations, and are having a major distro blow-out to clear the space Dan needs for his family. Not everything's been discounted (yet), but the price reductions so far have been huge – up to 90% in some cases and at least 50% for most of the others. Dan's refocusing [...] 2008 saw some great records arrive at Chez Old Punk. In fact, there wasn't a bad one among 'em. Label and distro people, you deserve maximum respect for keeping the faith. Band people, the punk flame remains in very safe hands. Onwards, upwards, forwards! Some very lovely punks ripped and shared some stunning noise from days [...] |
