Every Monday this October we are releasing a limited edition, split 7” coloured vinyl featuring exclusive tracks from 8 incredible acts on our roster.
7" Vinyl Boxset.
The series of 4 records is highly collectable with bespoke artwork connecting them together, which when completed will reveal a hidden download code for a further 10 tracks from other acts on the label for you to have for free.
The first vinyl will come with a beautifully artworked box to neatly house all the vinyl in as well as poster for you to unfold and put on your wall.
This series harks back to one of the first releases we ever did almost 8 years ago – then featuring one of Frank Turner’s earliest solo recordings ‘The Real Damage’ and Reuben’s brilliantly titled ‘Every Time A Teenager Listens To Drum ‘n’ Bass, A Rock Star Dies’.
Frank features again for this series but this time with a brand new track from his hardcore band Mongol Horde. Elsewhere we have the first fruits from current albums by To Kill A King, Chris T-T & The Hoodrats and Crazy Arm; an exclusive taster of Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun’s album not out till next year; an absolute gem from our American friends Larry and His Flask; a fantastic track written especially for us and this series by the ever loveable Beans On Toast; and a very special secret guest – who will be revealed in due course.
