Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 sees the of Cock Sparrer's eighth studio album, Hand On Heart. The of new material from this legendary band is always an event, a celebration, and an addition to the canon of classic punk rock. After over 50 years as one of the most influential punk bands on the planet, this album may just be their final word... although they thought the same of 2017's Forever, and it turned out there was still lots more to say after all! The 10 tracks that comprise Hand on Heart will thrill the Cock Sparrer faithful with their iconic, anthemic sound, but the band still. As surprises and new tricks up their sleeves, including a string arrangement by Simon Dobson (Bring Me The Horizon / Mike Oldfield) that lends a touch of class to the affair. With production overseen by James Bragg & guitarist Daryl Smith, as well as mastering by Grammy-winning engineer Kevin Tuffy, the lads sound better than ever, and for once, more of the budget went into the studio than down the pub!

Vinyl LP pressing. For many, this band requires no introduction, as they are indeed legends in a vibrant scene stretching across the world. At the same time, for anyone not part of that category, they are far and away the best band that you've not heard yet. This full length, their sixth, truly exemplifies how incredible and how special this band is. Rather than follow the all-too-common trajectory of releasing a new full length every few years, and following it up with tour after tour, SPARRER really remained selective with the new music they've chosen to , the gigs they were willing to play, and for many people that is what really sets them apart. There is no 'fluff' - ever! All of their albums are classics, and this one is as well. Hit after hit, hook after hook, singalong after sing-along and jam packed with substance, Forever is an album treasured by hundreds of thousands of fans and will be for decades to come. These best of friends wear their hearts on their sleeves, and bring an intensity and emotional component to everything that they do - whether it is recording new tracks, or getting on stage to thoroughly impress thousands of fans with their incomparable and truly spectacular live performances. This album does nothing short of illustrate that perfectly- and this version, newly remastered to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary also does so in step. The 180gram black vinyl and sleeve printed on gold foil both take this up a notch, elevating it to a level of class that this album truly deserves. Album Tracks 1. One By One 2. Believe 3.
