leeburgess Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We put together something called 'Summer Tape Series 2011', involving 8 different releases, all on cassette tape, ranging over different genres we like, with different bands we like, to show how diverse we wanna be as a label, not just sticking to one thing, but working real DIY bands over various styles. I know it's not summer no more, the penned release date was July, but shit got held back. We both work full time, had loads on our plates, as did the bands involved. Each release is limited to 100 copies, each release a different coloured cassette. We had a custom handmade boxset made too, limited to 20 and it contains all 8 releases, but this sold out in 24hrs! Here's a breakdown of each new release and a bit about each band. Hearts & Souls - We Were All Lost - New Single from Leeds, UK We released their debut single on cassette and they've worked really hard playing lots of shows and hit the studio for this new single. It's so hard to pigeonhole this band with their style. It's very alternative pop rock, female fronted melodic punk... if that makes sense. They're a supergroup of previous talent in Leeds; with influences deriving from Joy Division to The Wonder Years. www.facebook.com/heartsandsoulsuk Isolated - Demo 2011 from St Albans, UK We met these lads in Europe supporting Bays as the played all the same shows as them. They play genuine straight up melodic hardcore, and the demo was so sought after they reached their download limit on bandcamp in 24 hours of uploading it. Big slots all summer and a 2nd successful Euro tour was recently completed. http://www.facebook.com/Isolateduk Up River - Demo 2011 from Brighton, UK These lads sent me their demo a few months ago and I loved it on first listen. They perform brilliant melodic, raw, angry hardcore and every show they play, they get amazing feedback. They've recently partaken on a UK tour with Bastions and Polar and their future is looking bright already. http://www.facebook.com/upriverhc Silvertown/Conviction - Split EP from Huddersfield, UK / High Wycombe, UK I met Silvertown after they played with Bays a lot up north. We initally wanted to do their demo but the dudes in Anchored Records in Germany put that out, so they mentioned the split idea. They did a sick weekender together the other month and Conviction's demo is sick, so this should be a greatest and most rifftastic hardcore split of 2011! http://www.facebook.com/silvertownhc http://www.facebook.com/convictionuk Jimmy Holland - Jimmy Holland - New EP From Leeds, UK The first time I saw this kid play, I loved him; and every time I see him, more and more people do. His songs are so relatable and he has so much passion in what he does. Some of the tracks on this release are from a recording session we did together I wanted to work with him so much. Fans include Matty from A Loss For Words; he sang with them at Slam Dunk Festival, after performing on the Punktastic acoustic stage, headlining the Leeds date. Already played with Man Overboard,Transit, The Wonder Years and more. Big future for sure, already being compared to Frank Turner. http://www.facebook.com/JimmyHollandUK Fine Young Firecrackers - From The Ground Up - New EP from Liverpool, UK This band are so so hardworking. Having toured and played with too many bands to name in a short lifespan of under two years; they seem like they've been together for over double that. For this release, they're changing their sound slightly for their proper debut EP (after a number of previous recordings) to a more old school Drive Thru Records style, with a modern twist of the new pop punk age. It will be big! http://www.facebook.com/fineyoungfirecrackers Landlocked - Erudition - New EP from Missouri, USA Our first international band, they are four dudes playing heavy optimistic music with a more thrashy edge. They tore up the UK last summer with Bays and All We Have, and released DIY UK and US splits with Bays. The band due over again towards the end of the year for a well timed UK release. Plus they are fronted by one of the greatest moustaches in hardcore! http://www.facebook.com/LandlockedMO Stay Home - Demo 2011 from Huddersfield, UK Sharing some members with Silvertown, these lads play great emo punk, a la Title Fight and Basement, and played with both bands in Leeds this year. Picking up many fans at every show they play, bands like Starters are fans of their work too. If you dig this style, you will dig these! http://www.facebook.com/StayHomeUK Please check out these band, check out the tapes, they're only £3 a pop, and we've worked super hard. We still have Bays 7"s left, £4 each, and the prints are now just £2. We have a few copies of our first zine left too, only £1 And our new shirts and vests are still on preorder, £8 each, super limited. We've had supplier issues, but they will be sent out as soon as our printer can actually get the shirts needed to print on. Any questions, hit us up. http://pinkyswearrecords.limitedpressing.com www.facebook.com/pinkyswearrecords http://pinkyswearrecs.tumblr.com www.twitter.com/pinkyswearrecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
