ATTACK! VIPERS! - DEADWEIGHT REVIVAL CD available to preorder!
2nd full length from Southsea’s Attack! Vipers!. 12 new tracks of crushingly brilliant punk rock, post rock & metal influenced hardcore. Pieced together over the past year or so under the ever patient eye of long time collaborator Rich Tamblyn at the old Blacksmiths in Portsmouth, with Pete Miles mixing and mastering the whole thing at the end of 2011.
Listen to ‘Widow Johnson’ here:
CD comes packaged in a 6 panel card digifile with artwork from A!V! singer Joe Watson plus a little bit of handwriting from Var Thelin (No Idea Records’ founder).
It’s also available to order as a package with a new shirt and we’ll be making up some limited patches / badges for the first 50 people that order.

LITTLE LEAGUE / PURE GRAFT - SPLIT 7” AVAILABLE TO PREORDER!
2 new tracks apiece from Tallahase, FL’s Little League and Newcastle Upon Tyne’s Pure Graft.
Little League have a heavy take on the 90s indie rock / emo sound. Reminiscent of Braid / Small Brown Bike but never sounding too derivative! Pure Graft play fast paced punk rock heavy on the “rock”, doing their bit to bring back the lost art of guitar solos.
PREORDER HERE
