Some of you will already know my fondness for Insurgence Records, and my joy at the news that Randy (part of the Insurgence crew) has also set up his own label, Rebel Time Records, with co-conspirator Phil Broadcast Zero. I've already reviewed their early releases, but I recently got a bundle from Randy with everything [...] 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 [...] 01 – Supporting Caste (Propagandhi – Supporting Caste) Broadcast Zero – Yesterday, You Could Change The World So here's part deux of my triple bill review of some rather marvellous Canadian punk rock. It's a little delayed, owing to other stuff going on in the real world, but don't let my slackness put you off of buying this disc as soon as [...] Randy, part of the brains, money and muscle behind Insurgence and Rebel Time Records, has very generously sent me a bundle of CDs, gratis, for my aural pleasure.

That moment came in late February, when I was perusing [...] 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 [...] Fighting Chance – Sacrifice And Struggle (ltd. edition package) 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 [...] I'm guessing that one or two of my regular readers will be familiar with the Tofu Love Frogs, one of the many marvellous bands of minstrels that first appeared on the free festival scene in the late 80's and early 90's. If hearing the name brings back a flash of recognition amongst your acid-addled brains, [...] |
