Bands and new music for fans of demob-happy

Deathproof

by Krooked Tongue

Taken from our new EP, Deathproof spearheads the frustration of an ever changing world with an explosive message that cries out with a big ‘fuck you’ to the everyday rhetoric and media influence. Its the sort of tune that feels like the climax of our newer tunes. It’s got that ‘grand finale’ energy.

Victory Lap (Live)

by Let Man Loose

Fresh-faced with new bassist Eric Dimmack joining the line-up, and Luke Scruton filling in for Jamie on guitar, we booked into York's Young Thugs Studio to record performances of two tracks from 'Vol. 3'. Choosing to record live, the session resulted in a pair of frenetic and raw recordings.

Victory Lap

Bulldog

by Let Man Loose

Hey guys, we're back with a brand new single 'Bulldog', a satirical commentary walking the circus tightrope between patriotism and bigotry. Without getting too political, this is a fun-poke at the dinosaurs who 'wanted their country back'.

Slow Blood

Slow Blood are an Edinburgh-based power trio that explore the boundaries of alt rock, noise, goth and pop. Born of a dank basement, Slow Blood developed their sound with Rod Jones (Idlewild) at Post Electric Studios and deal out slabs of bone-crunching riffs and anthemic choruses.
