11th May AD2008
Busy weekend, both Inseminoid and Panther Modern discs are now gone too! There are a few distributors who have these though, so don't fear too much.
10th May AD2008
Veee Deee 2xCDr is now SOLD OUT. I'm sure this will see the light of day at some time in some form or another cos it's too good to stay this obscure for long.
The VOMIR LP is ready to go, we've done the artwork, sent off payment, now I just need to find the master disc and we're laughing. :-D
SHIFT - VERY SOON.
5th May AD2008
Mutant Ape/Seppuku split 7" is now gone! Thanks for all the orders on this one, sold out pretty quickly! More split releases with Turgid Animal forthcoming.
Still no luck in finding my lost distro stuff. I'm only gonna be taking minimal distro with me to gigs now as a result of this, can't afford to lose a large proportion of my stuff again. If whoever has this is reading this, yer a cock. Die! Working to
try and replace items that went missing and restock the distro as best I can. Please email in advance for distro orders cos there are odd items that might be listed that still aren't in stock. Cheers.
17th April AD2008
Right, I think I've caught up on all orders now. I apologse profusely for any delays/fuck ups. It's been a really busy time the past couple of weeks in a lot of different ways and I was struggling to get everything done to the high
standards I would expect from a distro, so sorry if I'm been a dick about getting orders right and whatnot. If it's been a while since you ordered and haven't recieved anything please email me at bringmecoffeeortea@hotmail.com soon as with what you ordered,
when you ordered it etc. Information is helpful!!
As mentioned previously, I lost a box of merch at Glasgow Implodes. None of the bands picked it up and the venue never saw it. SOMEONE out there knows where it is. Hopefully it's just a mistake but I don't need to say that nicking a box of merch at a gig
like this is seriously fucking shit and if that is what's happened and I find out who it was, I'll cut off yer cock and mail it to Volcanic Tongue.
Gnaw shirts are back in AGAIN. Did a big order so they'll be in for a while. No need to check for sizes, I have loads!
Also, payment details are on the site!! Why does everyone email me asking for a total and how to pay? Should I make the text bigger? In red letters? I'd like an integrated shopping cart actually, would be much better but the guy who does the website is
fairly painfully slow at getting anything done and I wouldn't expect any changes in the next millenium.
12th April AD2008
Right, bunch of stuff to update on this week. Gnaw shirts are once again flying off the metaphorical shelves. I have run out of mediums again...if you sent money without checking via email for
size availability first you may have to wait a couple of weeks til I get a new order in. Apologies for this, but there's a lesson in there: check first!! Can I also ask if in every order you make PLEASE
write the order in the comments section. You have no idea how much easier this makes my life; every time I get an order in that says "Here's the cash as discussed on email!" my heart sinks. I discuss about
50 orders a week on email and cross-referencing everything is a total bitch, and I really don't want to get orders mixed up.
Aquarius Records have a bunch of At War stuff in stock right now, go to their site for some great reviews and for (possibly) cheaper ordeing if yer in the US. Certainly for small orders I'd guess they'll be cheaper than me
due to postage rates.
I've not got many copies of the Mutant Ape/Seppuku split 7" left so get cracking on that one!
Played with Whitehouse last night in Edinburgh...interesting gig. Probably did one of the best/noisiest sets we've done but went down like a bucket of lukewarm shite. Heard a few folks grumbling about the
"overly confrontational" nature of the performance. Amazing! Next gig we're gonna play topless and touch each others' nipples. PROPER NOISE.
Finally: AN APPEAL. I lost an entire box of merch at Glasgow Implodes last week. It's not turned up in any of the other bands' stuff and I definitely don't have it. If anybody saw a box full of CDs (had a load of Skullflower/Monarch/
Culver etc in it) could you please let me know ASAP. It's worth a lot of dosh and well...you know. Any distro orders for the time being PLEASE check with me first as obviously I might not have what's advertised around right now. Knew
last weekend went too well.
6th April AD2008
Wow! Glasgow Implodes 3 was the best yet, by a long shot!! Cheers to everyone who played, to everyone who helped out at the merch stall and door, to Alistair Crosbie for spending about a week's wages
on records, the staff at the Note for being generally cool all day, and most of all to Paul for doing a 12 shift at the sound desk. Legend!
Got another batch of Gnaw Their Tongues shirts in, all sizes once again available! After having a wee break from doing new stuff I'm working on another batch of releases soon!
31st March AD2008
Shirts are all gone....I'm getting new ones I'm told in time for Glasgow Implodes on Saturday so don't worry. There aren't gonna be any more GTT CDrs I'm afraid, although we're gonna be doing something else together soon in greater quantites I hope! Deadwood CDrs are now all gone too.
Remember GLASGOW IMPLODES is less than a week away!!! It'll be amazing, so if you're from around the area (or even if yer not!) come along!! Saturday, 1pm - late, 13th Note Cafe Glasgow.
23rd March AD2008
Wow! Gnaw Their Tongues CDrs and shirts sold incredibly quickly: CDrs are SOLD OUT and only a few shirts in MEDIUM AND SMALL left. Thanks very much to everyone who ordered! Copies will be available from Mories (www.myspace.com/gnawtheirtongues) and Aquarius Records (www.aquariusrecords.org)
soon. Unsure if there'll be another batch of these, will have to discuss it with Mories. Alkerdeel's also flying oot the door...my entire weekend has been spent parcelling and currently have around 100 parcels sitting here waiting for what I'm sure will be a hilarius trip to the post office on
Tuesday.
22nd March AD2008
After pestering the post office this morning, I discovered my parcels HAD arrived and they were just a bunch of total mongs. As a result, I have the Gnaw Their Tongues shirts in! Pics in the "Releases" section. Anyone who already ordered a CDr and paid postage,
simply pay seven quid additional to me if you want a shirt and put a wee note in your Paypal payment section, no need to pay further postage.
Just a wee reminder....the third (almost) annual GLASGOW IMPLODES all-dayer is on in a fortnight (Saturday 5th April) at the 13th Note in Glasgow! This is always a great event and this years lineup is the best yet I reckon. Please come along if you can, we need all the support we can get and live music's one of the best things about this kind of stuff!! Myself and Lee Stokoe will have as much distro as we can carry too. Oh, and everyone in will get a free CDr! See yous there!
21st March AD2008
Right, two new releases just up on the site: Alkerdeel's first CD, "Luizig" and the new limited CDr from black metal noise nihilist Gnaw Their Tongues. As I previously stated, there will be Gnaw Their Tongues tshirts coming but there seems
to be a problem with my newly-acquired PO Box and none of my mail has come through for the past week or so. Trying to get this sorted as soon as possible, very sorry for any annoyance caused...I know a lot of you are desperate for these!!
I've simplified the pricing and made everything in POUNDS STERLING. There was no point having stuff in dollars, it was just confusing for anyone from Europe and you americans can deal with sending Paypal funds in something other than dollars,
right? I've got US distribution with Aquarius Records, Crucial Blast and Ear/Rational, so if you want to save money these guys will usually get most of what I put out.
Got a huge release schedule planned, the SHIFT LP should be out very very soon, then I'm gonna take a wee break for a bit to get a lot of other things sorted. There are going to be a lot of vinyl/CD releases in the coming months though and not
so many CDrs. PING!
2nd March AD2008
Just done a massive distro update. All kinds of stuff in there, mostly CDs. The formatting seems a bit fucked up but my meagre programming skills can't fix it, so webmaster Leckie is gonna check out what the hell I've done wrong now.
Alkerdeel and Gnaw Their Tongues: expect these to hit in around two weeks, along with the Gnaw tshirts. On the subject of shirts, only MEDIUM AT War shirts remain! I'll get another batch of these done at some point as they're always really
popular.
28th February AD2008
Right, biggest release update ever today! FIVE NEW RELEASES!!! Got the Marzuraan CD in (this is a belter!), the Mutant Ape/Seppuku split 7", split tape from Messiah Complex and Death Factory, and CDrs from Inseminoid and Panther Modern. I was gonna wait a bit and stick the Alkerdeel CDs (they're here!) and Gnaw Their Tongues CDrs (they're ready!) but a) I need to send artists' copies to Alkerdeel and b) I'm doing a batch of Gnaw Their Tongues tshirts to go with the release. These will be ready in about 2 weeks time I would imagine. I'm not doing preorders or anything on the shirts. It's too much hassle and difficult to track, so just check the site and you'll be sorted.
Please bear with me if I don't answer emails etc immediately, and please state all orders clearly in your Paypal comment section. I get lots of orders and it's really difficult to track when I get a random payment from someone who sent me an email enquiry a week ago. I work a demanding full-time job and don't have regular computer access, and this stuff takes up every minute of my spare time so please be patient and cool and I'll return the favour. I'm good to trade on all these releases, but as I've stated before: fair trade! That means enough of the shitty 5 minute tapes of *insert made up noise band here*. I don't spend all my spare time/cash to hand over somethig I've worked ages on and put a lot of LOVE into to recieve a shite tape packaged in a condom in return. Over und oot!
By the way, I have a TON (maybe 30+) new releases for distro that I haven't had time to put up yet. These will go up at the weekend hopefully.
7th February AD2008
Anybody buy Live After Death on DVD this week? I spent my day off work watching it today, then realised I should have been spending it making up orders for you fine folk. So that's what I just did, while
blasting out a wee bit of Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Get in!
Anyway, been very busy and a ton of new shite is ready to hit incredibly soon. I have a pile of CDrs by Panther Modern, Inseminoid and Gnaw Their Tongues right in front of me, and Messiah Complex/Death Factory cassettes. In
the interests of fairness, artists deserve their copies before you cunts so wait another couple of weeks. It'll also save postage on all two of you loyal customers who buy everything. :-D
The Seppuku/Mutant Ape split 7"s are done and in the hands of Mr George Proctor of Turgid Animal. He's coming up to Glasgow next week and I'll get them then! Alkerdeel CDs are at the plant and Marzuraan discs are done and being shipped
to this country as we speak. Many thanks to WT for all his help on this!!
What else.....I passed my driving test today. Fucking bingo!! Also have a gignatic load of distro stuff that I've not updated yet. To be honest I've just not had a chance to listen to it, so will update when I get five minutes to myself.
All fer now!
27th January AD2008
Right, everyone who preordered the Vomir set will be getting them very shortly!! Of the 40 orders I took for it, I've sent out 30 so far, in order of when I received money....so if you paid me before the beginning of
January you should get it very soon!! Thanks very much to everyone who ordered this, any feedback on it would be much appreciated as a gargantuan effort went in to putting it together and I hope everyone enjoys it!!!
Got some pics of two new releases that will be coming out very soon, the Shift LP and the Alkerdeel CD. Alkerdeel will be going to press next week so should be out in around a month, whilst the Shift LP has been
mastered and (pending approval from Mr Shift) will go to press later this month/beginning next month too. The Marzuraan disc is also done now and looks class, hopefully should get 'em in soon!
The Panther Modern CDrs are finished, will be sending out artist's copies and these'll go on sale once they've got them. Look fucking top!!
Here's the lineup for Glasgow Implodes. I have fuck all time right now to write descriptions but will fill in details at some point soon, but here's the bands:
BONG
WRAITHS
BLACK SUN
DOMOVOI
SEPPUKU (set with Lee Stokoe AKA CULVER)
UNICORN LOVE
RAIN CLOUD
JAZZFINGER
THE PRESTIDIGITATORS
SCROTAL TUNIC
CHEEKY PENIS (Brendan O'Hare)
Do-neImagi-ne/I-ambNecessno+0
APRIL 5TH, 13TH NOTE CAFE GLASGOW
26th January AD2008
At War will be doing an LP with Glasgow's finest BLACK SUN. This will be a 12" vinyl of mixes of their track Paralyser (Hammer The Nails), a totally punishingly harsh Godflesh-esque lesson in pummeling brutality! Very
pleased to be doing Black Sun's first ever vinyl release after several great albums. Watch the skies.
16th January AD2008
Well it's been a fucking miserable start to the year but to cheer me up buy some of the new shite currently available from At War With False Noise! Now up for sale is the raw french black metal sound of
Zarach'Baal'Tharagh (full CD!) and a double 3" CDr from Jap-dwelling noise rock psychers Veee Deee.
Also updated the distro with a bunch of new stuff, mostly non-noise, including a huge batch of doom from Shifty records, some really rare stuff from the best Jap noise band ever, The Gerogerigegege, and METAL
from The Obsessed and an IRON MAIDEN tribute album.
In a news update, the covers for the Shift LP and Alkerdeel CD are being done at the moment, art for the Messiah Complex/Death factory tape and Panther Modern CDrs are done, the Seppuku/Mutant Ape split 7" has gone
to press and I'm just about done the packaging, and the Vomir boxsets are ready to go, with shirts at the manufacturers right now!! Unless you've gotten in touch with me and arranged something you're too late with the Vomir
shirts, so tough shit!! There's been plenty of notice and I can't keep people waiting forever. I should have about 10 sets (minus the shirts) left later on for anyone who missed out and just wants the music.
Finally, Glasgow Implodes 3 is booked and will be at the 13th Note on Saturday April 5th. I'll give the full lineup when it's confirmed but this year's fest promises to be bigger and better than the past two years put
together!! Around a week before (Thursday the 27th) At War will be putting on SHIFT by means of celebrating the release of his new LP "Creation and Space", also at the Note.
1st January AD2008
Terrible news for the start of the year I'm afraid; Stanis of our own Winters In Osaka passed away today. My thoughts go to Stanis's friends and family.
16th December AD2007
The Zarach'Baal'Tharagh CDs came in this week, they look spectacular! I've decided to leave putting this one out til the new year, since 1) I haven't sent artist's copies out yet, 2) I don't want to keep releasing one disc at a time and making everyone pay through the nose on postage and 3) I've released a shit load of stuff in the past month or so, it's christmas and nobody will have two pennies to rub together at the moment. The Veee Deee double CDr is ready to go, just ironing out a few problems with artwork. Veee Deee = excellent band, lovely guys, the fussiest people I've ever met. :-P
9th December AD2007
Available for preorder now is the Vomir box set. For further details please check the "releases" page. I'm sorry but I am not offering trades on this one.
Zarach'Baal'Tharagh inserts came in this week and they look great. Total early 90s black metal worship! Discs are due next week and they'll go up for sale then. Any distros wanting to stock any of this stuff please get in touch with me, good wholesale rates offered/trades accepted.
8th December AD2007
HAIL NOISEBASTARD!!!!!
30th November AD2007
The Sloth CD is now available!! Proper pictures will go up soon when I get my camera back! Massive distro update also, with a bunch of stuff from Man Is The Bastard, Outlaw Order (ex-Eyehategod) and
thrash legends HIRAX in stock, along with some noise/PE classics from Sutcliffe Jugend, Masonna and Consumer Electronics!!
29th November AD2007
Thanks to everyone who came to the Glasgow gig on Monday and Newcastle on Tuesday. Both fucking great gigs and was chuffed to play both! Hails to the Blyth lads, Mike Smith, Michael Gillham, Noisebastard,
Dean Glaister, Lee, Rob and Pete, Deek and Stevie, George and Nicola and James and Mark of the amazing BLOODYMINDED!!
11th November AD2007
Sloth CD will be with me by the end of November/beginning of December. Ditto for Zarach'Baal'Tharagh discs.
GIG at the end of this month!! Seppuku will be playing as a five piece for this (myself, Matt on drums, along with Kerr (ex Black Sun) and John (Noma) on guitar and Adam (Rejectamenta) on bass. We'll
also be playing Newcastle the next night at the Chillingham Arms with the same folks minus Messiah Complex, will most likely be a two piece (me and Matt) unless anyone else fancies joining us on the trip/joining in
in Newcastle.
27th October AD2007
Big distro update...few more things added! I'm STILL waiting on stuff from Deep Six Records (and have been for several weeks now) without having heard a
reply to my emails. Not feeling too optimistic about this one, hopefully it's just a blip and they'll sort it out soon.
On an unrelated point, can everyone who trades CDrs with me have the courtesy to actually COPY the CDrs please??! In the last batch of trades I had I got
THREE returns from people because their discs had no fucking music burned onto them. I know accidents happen but three in the space of two weeks shows me a lot of people
don't take their music seriously and have no pride in what they're putting out. Let's be honest, running a tiny CDr label is hardly rocket science, sticking blank
discs into cases is unprofessional and embarassing. Plus the fact that the person buying it gets fuck all and I have traded away one of my releases for a coaster.
Sort it bawbags!
26th October AD2007
New release from the excellent Dead Wood out right now! Only putting out 50 of these and I sold about 10 at the last gig so...you
do the maths!
In other news, the Shift record is ready to be mastered and the artwork underway, the Sloth disc should be ready very soon, the
Marzuraan disc is going to production and I've finished art for the Zarach'Baal'Tharagh CD demo collection. When everything comes out is a cash flow issue innit!
I'm also very glad to announce the reissue of Belgian black doom mob ALKERDEEL's album "Luizig". It was originally released on Funeral Folk in a small edition of
66 copies and At War will be doing a proper press of 500 CDs in special packaging. Check them out here: www.myspace.com/alkerdeel666.
11th October AD2007
30th September AD2007
At War With False Noise will be putting on the following acts at Where The Monkey Sleeps in Glasgow on Saturday 13th October:
Sindre Bjerga
Anders Gjerde
Sten Ove Toft
Noma
Cheer
It'll be free entry, more details to follow. WTMS is a sandwich shop in West Regent Street; it's pretty easy to find but check the website for more info: www.monkeysleeps.com
Many many thanks to Katherine and Leckie for allowing this to happen!!!
29th September AD2007
Two new releases out now! Don't worry about the catalogue numbers being a bit weirdo beardo, ATWAR018 is the Sloth CD which is at the pressing plant right now and ATWAR019 is the
Dead Wood CDr which just took a while to get packaged but will be ready very soon. Both these new releases are class, and Snotnosed in particular has been a long-awaited release for a
while for lots of folk. Many thanks to Michael and Adam for being behind both these discs.
In other news, the SHIFT LP will be called "Creation + Space" and is just about ready and is getting mixed and mastered now. Also many happy returns to Martin AKA Shift as he's an
even older old bastard than usual today :-P
PS - "Midnight Mushrumps" and "Red Queen To Gryphon Three" by Gryphon have just been reissued: take this opportunity and buy both these faultless prog masterpieces! Seriously! What? You only
listen to noise? The Wire magazine says they're a bit ridiculous? YOU OWN TONY CONRAD ALBUMS BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHY.
16th September AD2007
Right, back from holiday and it's fucking chanking and raining! Nice one. Anyway, I've updated the distro section with most of the stuff I currently have. I've
taken away pictures cos they were getting in the way and it's just too much hassle to photograph every single thing I have for sale now. If yer desperate to have a look at what you're buying
send me a wee email and I'll sort you out.
Snotnosed and WIO discs are ready to sell but I'll wait until next week when I can send the artists' copies out til they go up. I'm sure all four of you who usually buy stuff are wetting yer
scants in excitment. Looking back at previous updates there are a few things that were meant to be happening that look like they're not any more, simply cos folk keep asking to do stuff then
not bothering to send anything out. Your loss chaps, cannae be bothered waiting any longer. So here's a list of stuff coming that will be hopefully happening in the future:
CDrs from Kenji Saratori, Zarach'Baal'Tharagh, Dead Wood, Veee Deee, S.E.X./Nihilist Commando, Persistence In Mourning and Sepukku; CDs from Sloth, Marzuraan, Sepukku and a couple of other folks; LPs from Shift, Harm and Culver.
14th September AD2007
Tetsuo is now SEPPUKU. Too many other Tetsuos doing the rounds. Coming soon will be a comp of a bunch of live material recorded while still Tetsuo, as well as split seven inches with Rejectamenta and Mutant Ape. We also recorded a live set a wee while back where Tetsuo did a total doom performance, and we're looking for someone to possibly do a split 10" with. We've also recorded enough material for a first "proper" album that doesn't sound like it was recorded by a broken dictaphone in an Irn Bru can. 40-odd tracks of complete stupidity, goes from crushing doom to blastbeat-driven grind, and features a lounge take on Raining Blood by Slayer. Dr Adam Cresser has made this sound utterly brilliant and I'm hoping to do a proper CD release in the future.
1st September AD2007
It's been ages since the last update. Many apologies! There are two new releases (Snotnosed CDr and Winters In Osaka 3" CDr) but I'm off on holiday for two weeks so I'll hold off release until then so nobody's waiting. Hope everyone
will be chuffed with these, both really cool records.
Also on the agenda: Sloth CDs are paid for, just need to do a wee bit of fiddling with the artwork. Should be ready to go off to print once I'm back from holiday
Thanks everyone who turned up to the gigs last couple of nights in Aberdeen and Glasgow. Had a blast and the other bands were all amazing. Last night especially everyone completely blew me away, pretty much as good as it gets I think. Major thanks to the two Stus for putting on Aberdeen, don't let the bad attendance put you off!
Last of all....Steven Naismith signed for Rangers with one minute of the transfer window to spare last night. It's almost inconcievable how low these scumbags are willing to go. Totally dissapointing situation, the bigotted arseholes once again sap young talent from a wee club after putting them through weeks (months!) of fucking about and misinformation. Total scumbags. Support yer local team! OLD FIRM GET TO FUCK.
15th July AD2007
OI OI! Saw Anal Cunt at the weekend, they were terrible! Which is kinda what I wanted. Marzuraan were fucking amazing but about
three people seemed to appreciate them. It must be said though that a majority of the crowd were wearing Libido Airbag tshirts, wrong for: 1) they are the worst
band I've EVER heard and 2) the frontprint was a picture of a gigantic cock with a face or something. There's no accounting for taste.
Anyway, I digress. Got a shipment of shirts in this week so all sizes are once again available. Also just out is the new REJECTAMENTA CDr. This is an amazing record
and I highly suggest a purchase. Fancy dan/not so fancy dan versions available.
14th July AD2007
Please note changes to the "shop" section. I've done away with the shopping cart cos I'm an idiot and can't update it properly. Secondly, prices do now NOT INCLUDE POSTAGE AND PACKING. The way it worked was pretty much giving those kind folks who bought a lot of items a bit of a bum deal so this structure should be a lot fairer for everyone. Any thoughts on this please let me know.
8th July AD2007
Sloth artwork almost finished, awaiting band approval then can go to pressing plant. Snotnosed is ready for the go also, awaiting the "remastered" version and we're ready to rock. Rejectamenta disc is finished, will be released properly along with Snotnosed. A new batch of the famous "anti-Sunn" At War shirts will be coming in so fatties and elves will be soon catered for once again.
1st July AD2007
PS - 
1st July AD2007
Sorry, there have been a lot of problems with the distro page. Hopefully these will be sorted soon as. Again many apologies to everyone who has tried to order and it's not worked. In other news, Sloth covers are ready so the CD should be ready to go as soon as I have approval from the band of the art. Couple more excellent developments on the releases front in that US noise monsters Winters In Osaka and Death Factory will be doing a split cassette and in the early stages of arranging something with french black metal genius Zarach'Baal'Tharagh. Also, the Rejectamenta discs are nearly ready to go! There will be two editions of this, the reason being that they come in metal cases that I could only afford to buy a small amount of, so you can get an expensive copy in ace packaging, or a much cheaper copy in card packaging. Which in fairness will probably be just like most of the shite noise releases that are doing the rounds right now. Ouch!
10th June AD2007
Distro page is up and running! Please note that I've only got a couple of copies of some of this stuff. Should be expanding this as money and time allow so expect more soon. I own everything in the distro collection myself and I'm not interested in selling any old shite on. If it wasn't going to be good enough to release on At War I wouldn't be interested in selling it. Please note also that a lot of the stuff here might be cheaper to buy direct from the bands/labels (esp american stuff) so check their own sites too, they'll all be in the "Links" section.
20th May AD2007
The best of them all...
12th May AD2007
After weeks of hard work there are a glut of new releases available right now! Well chuffed especially with the two home-grown acts here, shows there's more to Scotland than highly questionable dietary habits, ginger hair and fighting, and more to the scottish underground scene than 9 quid CDrs from Volcanic Tongue. Distros get in touch, support the supportive! Coming next from At War will be CDrs from Rejectamenta and the legendary Snotnosed, as well as "proper" CDs very soon from Sloth and Marzuraan, as well as a new Shift LP. Yaas!
27th Apr AD2007
26th Apr AD2007
Sorry for such a long wait for an update. Severe illness, ridiculous working hours, not having a computer, and spending every spare minute cutting up wee bits of paper and burning CDs have meant no time to get anything else done! Luckilly I've managed to get three ne releases ready and these will go on sale tomorrow, once I've taken some photos and that.
9th Mar AD2007
Big update, three new releases available! The Culver record is entirely sold out, is still available from Crucial Blast and Utech records in the states, as well as Monorail Records and Grief Foundation in the UK.
7th Mar AD2007
At War With False Noise will be putting on improv noise fools Barbarians at The Captain's Rest in Glasgow on Saturday 24th March! Definitely not one to be missed, live performances are legendary! Will be playing with Tetsuo (doing a two-piece "acoustic" black metal set (?!) and Edinburgh drone/vocal loop genius Wounded Knee, as well as hopefully erstwhile Tetsuo member Rejectamenta if I can get through to him on his phone. SUPPORT!
1st Mar AD2007
Beip and Vomir CDs are done, once the artists have recieved their copies I'll put em up for sale; will probably go up next week.
28th Feb AD2007
I have the masters and art for the new NOMA record. It'll be a double album called Lacrimation/Nidus; one CD will be a long, peaceful drone, while the other will feature a collection of shorter, more harsh compositions. The two faces of Noma! Really excited to be releasing this not just because Noma is a good friend, but because he's one of the most interesting and unique artists in the UK underground today and he is severely undervalued by a record buying public that alludes to be immersed in what's at the cutting edge but instead spends their pocket money on the new Wolf Eyes record.
26th Feb AD2007
Glasgow Implodes II was a massive success! Ultimate thanks to all the bands who came up to play and to everyone who made the effort to come along, especially those who I knew came all the way up from England or Aberdeen. Everyone's sets this year were amazing, would be unfair to pick out any highlights to be honest. Photos and video coming soon. Extra special thanks to Diablolical Stuart for lending a hand all day, and to Brendan O'Hare for being possibly the most ace chap to exist on the planet today.
23rd Feb AD2007
Got the Sloth master in today and it's a belter! Will take a few weeks to get the art finalised and all the press figured out but hopefully this'll hit around easter time. Expect something very different from the past few Sloth releases, that's all I'm saying!
10th Feb AD2007
Sorry, website was down for a while due to some technical issues. I've backdated the news accordingly.
8th Feb AD2007
New Tetsuo disc ready to go soon. It'll be a split EP with Japanese Blondie tribute act Brondie and will come in a wee DVD case. I'm holding off releasing this until the Beip CD is ready so folks who want both don't have the hassle of placing orders withing a week of each other.
5th Feb AD2007
1st Feb AD2007
Final Glasgow Implodes lineup confirmed. Poster up in the next few days. If anyone's travelling for this give me an email and I can sort somewhere to stay for the night. B&Bs up here are expensive and you mind end up somewhere with a 95% "getting stabbed" risk; not that Glasgow's anything but Europe's cultural epicentre like.

Ohio sludge/doom/noise/whatever legends SLOTH have agreed to put out a full-length on At War! Totally excited about this as Sloth are one of my favourite bands ever. In the past ten years they've done an absolute ton of splits with a diverse range of bands like Noothgrush, Gob, Angry Hate, Upsidedown Cross, Floor, Corrupted and Fistula. This'll be a proper pressed CD and I hope to have good distribution for it, so stockists get in touch please. Watch this space!

GLASGOW IMPLODES II. This is happening at the 13th Note, Glasgow! After what has actually been months of annoying shit trying to get this organised, a full lineup has been confirmed. More details will come later but it'll be happening on Sunday 25th February from about 2 til late, and will feature the following folks (in no particular order): Ocelocelot, Rough Sex Quartet, Luke Younger, Mutant Ape, Tetsuo, Usurper, Hockyfrilla, Muscletusk. Linwood Flats, Stuckometer,Smear Campaign, Youki Kudoh, Shift, Guanoman. Entry will be about 7 quid. No cash is made from this fest and all profits are given to the bands playing! This was a great event last time and it promises to be even more ramshackle, daft, and downright class thistime around. Support!

Future releases update: coming soon new pish from the following folks: Noma 2xCD, Tetsuo "art edition" record (haha), Mutant Ape/Tetsuo split 7", Dirty Husband CD, Marzuraan "The First Five Years" CD (YES!), RYN 3" CD.

New Culver and Bjerga/Iversen CDs out now. Been getting a lot of requests for these so get 'em while they're going, if they go quickly I'll do another run. Please don't ask me to reserve stuff if you have no intention of ever getting round to it, this is a small operation and it wastes my time and cash to be beholding to folk who are gonna end up spending their pocket money on Isis records.

Finish noisecore unit BEIP have agreed for At War With False Noise to reissue the fucking ace CD "I Like Penis". For those of you who aren't aware this is a 56 track/9 minute noise/blur masterpiece of shrieking female vox and clammering discordant instrumentation, and was never given the proper opportunity for distro last time around. Fuck AxCx, Finland is the place for noisecore these days.
12th Dec AD2006
New releases imminent from Culver and Bjerga Iversen. These are both taking ages to put together but will be well worth the effort. These'll go quick: be fast or be false.
