About this product

Having spent 2018 touring with Sleaford Mods, Hey Colossus and Brooklyn's SAVAK, Nottingham punk rock lifers Grey Hairs have announced their third album 'Health & Social Care' - a scorching reflection on balancing your creative impulses against the commitments of impending middle age. Their first output since 2016's 'Serious Business', released via Nottingham's esteemed Gringo Records, 'Health & Social Care' is an expansion of the band's sound that recalls elements of The Birthday Party, Laughing Hyenas, The Jesus Lizard or of a downer-fuelled B52s and what surf music sounds like coming from the most land-locked part of the country. In the video for new single 'Tory Nurse', directed by David Lilley, we're taken on a sloped and queasy trip through rural Derbyshire that sees the band tasked with delivering a body (later revealed to be a clown) to an undisclosed location. The fate of the clown is never revealed beyond disappearing into a hole in the ground, in a droll and absurd attempt to address the core ideas behind 'Health & Social Care' and the inevitable mystery of things to come. 2016's 'Serious Business' saw a clear sharpening of the band's focus. The clue was in the title. What started as an offshoot to the members' proper bands reached that wonderful point where it becomes an entity all of it's own and steers the ship as though an invisible 5th member. And that member was steering things in directions none of the others had ever anticipated. 'Health & Social Care' expands on this. It's rage is tight and deliberate and it's themes more explicitly stated. This is not a bunch of guys mimicking their youth (or other people's youth) and balancing their weekend anti-establishment anger with their job as a software developer, or vintage furniture dealer, or credit check specialist. If 'Health & Social Care' has a theme (and again the clue is in the title) it's Inchhow

Sasami - Squeeze   - VINYL LP

Sasami (Sasami Ashworth) returns with her second studio album, Squeeze. The 11-track collection hammers home a sentiment of Inchanti-toxic positivityInch and showcases her vicious honesty and brutally uncompromising vision, partially inspired by the Japanese yokai folk spirit called Nure-onna (translation wet woman), a vampiric deity that has the head of a woman and the body of a snake.

Reks - More Grey Hairs   - VINYL LP

If you've been rocking with Reks since 2009, you already know that More Grey Hairs is a pivotal piece of his catalog. More Grey Hairs is a project that captured a moment in time-a collection of raw lyricism, real talk, and timeless production. With beats from the legendary DJ Premier and Statik Selektah, plus guest features from Skyzoo, Termanology, and more. For Reks this album stands as one of his proudest works and now it will finally be available on vinyl for the first time ever. Standard Cover Version.

Greys - Outer Heavan   - VINYL LP

Limited vinyl LP pressing including . 2016 . Outer Heaven is a massive leap forward for Toronto post-punks Greys. Delivering on the promises made on 2015's Repulsion EP, the band tempers their trademark onslaught of discordance with new textures and subtle dynamics, building a more spacious and melody-driven environment atop their noise rock foundation. They fearlessly explore every extreme, simultaneously delivering their most intense and accessible moments, often within the same song. InchWe never want to do just one thing,Inch says frontman Shehzaad Jiwani. InchWe want to incorporate as many disparate sounds as possible, yet still have it sound like the same band.Inch This bold approach saw them return to Montreal to record at the hallowed Hotel 2 Tango studio (Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) with longtime producer Mike Rocha, giving heavy hitters like InchBlown OutInch and first single InchNo StarInch unprecedented atmospheric depth while never compromising the band's characteristic cacophony. The young quartet stretches it's limbs like never before on more delicate tracks like InchErosion,Inch where Jiwani sings softly over Cam Graham's delicate guitar, recalling the dream pop qualities of early Deerhunter or late-period Unwound. Elsewhere, on InchSorcerer,Inch bassist Colin Gillespie and drummer Braeden Craig launch an unrelenting yet hypnotic assault that falls somewhere between Sonic Youth and Portishead. With ten tracks at just under forty minutes, Greys raise the bar for what is expected of a punk band in the 21st century.
