Beggar’s Banquet are launching the next phase of their Fall reissue campaign, hooray hooray! This Nation’s Saving Grace, an album by The Fall that almost everyone seems to agree is a classic slice of Fall: impressive, given how hard it is to get that fanbase to agree. Major level Fall, get involved.

Formed in Leeds in 2017, The Vat-Egg Imposition are musically indebted to The Fall, Julian Cope and various others of their post-punk ilk, but with a noticeable injection of groove, the lyrical/performance side of the band is more in the surrealistic, comedic vein of Frank Sidebottom, John Shuttleworth, Flight Of The Conchords and John Otway.

‘Sheriff of Nottingham’ is available on all major streaming services from 12th June 2020 and on limited edition apricot cassette, featuring b-side ‘Get My Green Mug Back Again’ which is available to pre-order for delivery on 10th July 2020. This is released in collaboration by Alphaville Recordings and Safe Suburban Home Records as part of a six-part cassette series running throughout 2020.

This is the one where things started to change. Producer and multi instrumentalist Tim Friese-Green was drafted in and immediately set about turning the previous 'new romantic image' into something more special. Still the hits kept coming with 'Such a Shame', 'Dum Dum Girl' and the stellar title track beautifully combining mainstream pop and sophisticated production.

Debut EP from Manchester's SPILLAGE. "Miserable hardcore for the socially maligned"
Hardcore/Post punk, think Leatherface meets Dag Nasty meets 7 Seconds.

An excellent comp from this legendary label, featuring well-known acts like, Iggy & The Stooges, The Weirdos, and The Zeros. Mostly in the punk/rock/garage rock genres.

Slowcoaches return with new four-track E.P, THINKERS, following on from their May 2012 release, 'We're So Heavy', which sold out within a week.

Armed with a fistful of new songs, bassist/singer Heather Perkins, and guitarist Matt Dixon have instigated a line up change, with the addition of Mazes' Neil Robinson on drums, and spent the bulk of the past year performing across the UK and Europe.

Bringing together two of Manchester’s most promising and invigorating breakout bands of recent times, the latest offering from our Manchester based micro-label, Icecapades, crams 12 minutes of classic, hook-laden pop precision onto two sides of this 45rpm 7”.

Side A is taken up by Sex Hands, three childhood best friends from North Wales, and one new pal from Manchester via Runcorn, making music inspired by the hit TV series Friends. Taking in members of NW notables Klaus Kinski, Irma Vep and Waiters, they enigmatically straddle the line between uniquely irresistible melodic delights, and unhinged macho-man party anthems. Your curiosity may already have been piqued by their recent, excellent (and free to download) collection ‘Series 1’. This though is proudly their first appearance on vinyl, and sees them flex their muscle through pulse-rasing standouts; ‘Way, No Way’, and ‘Ichiban’.

Side B is occupied by the now-on-an-indefinate-hiatus-Daily Life. A band specialising in perfect slabs of modern post-punk pop songs that crawl resolutely in your ear and burrow wayyy deep in your skull. Sadly scuppered in their plan for pure world dominance by singer Luke’s decision to emigrate to New Zealand in January of this year - we toast the brief, bright existence of our dearly departed friends in the only manner befitting these formidable recordings; cherry picking their two strongest cuts, ‘King of Sports’ and ‘Alabaster’, and commiting them to vinyl.

Soul Jazz Records are releasing a collection of lost recordings by French mutant experimental synth group Kas Product, all originally recorded in the period 1980 – 83.

Kas Product formed in 1980 in Nancy, France, as an electronic duo comprising ex-psychiatric nurse Spatsz on electronics and rhythm machines and Mona Soyoc on vocals and guitars.

Kas Product feature on Soul Jazz Records’ recent 'Punk 45 – Les Punks: The French Connection'. Mainly recorded on early tape, synth and drum machines Kas Product’s mixture of Spatsz’ hypnotic, electronic and angular hard-edged beats matched to the spiky vocals and guitar work of Soyoc led to comparisons with Suicide, Liliput/Kleenex, Cabaret Voltaire as well as to the group being forerunners of the cold wave/ synth wave movement. Perhaps closer still is the Industrial sound of bands such as Throbbing Gristle and Einsturzende Neubaten. At the start of the decade Kas Product's 'So Young But So Cold' was also the title track of a defining collection of rare underground electronic French coldwave/synthwave bands on the Tigersushi label.
