PERSPEX FLESH - 'Ordered Image' 12"EP + SHEER MAG - S/T 7" OUT NOW!

Hi all,

So, three weeks after our first two releases of the year, we're back with another two!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SSR028: PERSPEX FLESH - Ordered Image 12"EP





















Just under a year from the release of their debut LP, Leeds, Yorkshire's PERSPEX FLESH return with a brand new 6 track 12" EP. Undoubtedly their strongest work yet, this takes all of the influences of the previous records, the feeling of claustrophobia, the tasteful nods to bands such as RUDIMENTARY PENI, SPIKE IN VAIN and COLD SWEAT, as well as an occasional post punk feel, and merges it into something ugly and unique. UK Hardcore has been possibly in it's best state for the best part of two decades in recent memory, and this is another record to help enforce that claim. Featuring members of THE FLEX, DiE and BROKEN ARM.

There's also a special mailorder pressing on clear vinyl too. This is limited to 150 copies and will most likely not stick around for too long...

PERSPEX FLESH are also touring the East Coast of America with RAZORHEADS starting this Thursday. Dates are below, don't miss them if they're playing near you!

SSR029: SHEER MAG - S/T 7"





















The debut 7" from Philadelphia's SHEER MAG finally gets a wider UK and European release! Sheer Mag seemingly came out of nowhere last Autumn with this killer four track EP. It is the only record of recent times that manages to sound like a mix of a classic Seventies rock record, power pop and an obscure English DIY 7" from the late 70's. Everything sounds scrappy, fuzzy and scuzzy and it's all the better for it. The riff packed guitar work and fuzzed female vocals sit perfectly together whilst the crude rhythms just adds bounce and basic beats. Think a mix of the power pop delight of Protex, the lo-fi nature of The Seize, the riffs of Thin Lizzy and the powerful female vocal of Suzi Quatro. It shouldn't work but it does. It really does!

SHEER MAG are currently halfway through a full-US tour, and the remaining dates are below.

The IMPALERS and ULTRA VIOLENT releases from earlier this month are still available too! The Ultra Violent 7" is running very low right now, but a repress is due in the next couple of weeks. For those who have asked, it's 100% identical to the current one.

Following these new releases, we have a few more up our sleeves. The first of which will be a MLP from Dublin's DISGIUSE called 'Signs Of The Future'. The record is being mastered as you read this, and there will be a preview track online soon enough. In the meantime, check out the artwork below, and feel free to use it as a new band name generator:





















We'll also have a new record from New York's AJAX out to co-incide with their UK / European tour with IMPALERS. Dates for that are below too! There's a couple of other things in the works as well, which will be mentioned in good time.

I think that's all for now, thanks for the support as always, and I hope you like the new records as much as I do.
