THE SHADOWS
LIVE IN LIVERPOOL
THE SHADOWS are one of the most successful chart acts in UK history with a career that stretches from the 1950s
into the 2000s. Hank Marvin remains one of the most influential guitarists of all time, inspiring many of the rock
heroes of the sixties, seventies and eighties with his immediately recognizable style of playing. This show was
filmed in Liverpool in the late eighties and originally released on VHS in 1989. It captures THE SHADOWS on great
form performing virtually all their best known hits, including four No.1 singles, plus a few lesser known gems.

HARTS
BREAKTHROUGH EP
RELEASE DATE

HARTS
BREAKTHROUGH EP
Darren Hart, better known as HARTS, is a musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and music producer
from Melbourne. Often labeled as “A one man music making machine”, he writes everything, plays all the instruments,
records and produces all his music single handedly in his bedroom studio.
Spending the past few years developing his sound, HARTS has become known for his Jimi Hendrix-like guitar playing and
unique blend of Funk, Pop, Rock and Soul music, which has earned him praise worldwide. Most notably from iconic music
legend Prince, who flew HARTS out to his Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis, USA to meet and play with him last year
saying, “He reminds me of how I was at that age”.
After returning, HARTS’ independently released his 10 track debut album ‘Daydreamer’ in September 2014. The album
quickly gained positive coverage in many music publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, NME, The Guardian, Herald
Sun, Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue Magazine and many more.The lead single from the album, ‘Red & Blue’ was an
alternative radio hit in Australia, landing a spot on Triple J’s Hit List and many Independent and Alternative radio playlists
around the country.
Following the success of the album, HARTS’ two latest singles ‘When A Man’s A Fool’ and ‘Breakthrough’ we’re both
Alternative Radio hits in Australia, making it to their week’s #1 most played tracks on Triple J & Alternative Radio. The two
singles will feature on a brand new EP to be released in June 2015, followed by a 19 date Australian and New Zealand tour
where accompanied only by a drummer, HARTS recreates the songs live - juggling between shredding guitar, laying down
keyboard, bass and vocals with a loop machine and sequencer.
Those dates will add to the already impressive number of shows HARTS has clocked up in 2015, from his own headline gigs
to rocking the stage at The Hills Are Alive, and wowing an audience of 10,000 opening for Rod Stewart.
HARTS also recently took on Triple J Like A Version, performing an impressive cover of Daniel Johns’ ‘Aerial Love’, and is also
gearing up to play at this year’s Groovin The Moo Festival in Bendigo.
The new EP, quite appropriately titled ‘Breakthrough’, will be released on June 5 2015.

ROLO TOMASSI
GRIEVANCES
RELEASE DATE

ROLO TOMASSI
GRIEVANCES
ROLO TOMASSI are back, armed with the brilliant, brand new album ‘Grievances’ through UK label Holy Roar Records.
‘Grievances’ was recorded and mixed by Lewis Johns (Funeral For A Friend, Gnarwolves, Your Demise, Palm Reader) and is
the band’s 4th studio album.
Having first worked with Holy Roar from the start of the label in 2006, it has been a joy to watch one of the most inventive
bands in the UK grow and grow - taking on world tours, recording an album with Diplo and much, much more besides.
With both band and label going from creative strength-to-strength, now feels like the perfect time to re-establish a new,
improved, alliance.
This is their most exciting, progressive, direct and emotional material to date - ROLO TOMASSI are clearly forever pushing
forward artistically.
“At 10 years in I feel more enthused than ever with where we’re at as a band,” says frontwoman Eva Spence. “With
Grievances, we followed on from the sound we developed on Astraea and pushed that even more so to make an album we’re
all really proud of and which I consider to be our best material to date.”
James Spence adds: “Creatively we wanted to do something ambitious and took our time in making sure the material was
right. We tried new ways of writing including collaborating with other musicians for the first time to make sure we could
capture the feel we wanted on this record. The Ranch provided the ideal location to make this happen and having worked
with him last year on our single Adrasteia, we jumped at the chance to work with Lewis again who has really brought it all to
life with his production.”

 “They’ve gone from strength to strength, dipping in and out of different stylistic pools yet refusing to submerge
themselves fully in any one of them. Rolo have prevailed in a scene that sees bands come and go faster than celebrity
vloggers. Though they’ve been through several line-up changes in their time, ‘Stage Knives’ is a return so fierce you
could give it a weave and call it Beyoncé. And it could only have come from a band that has paid their dues, stuck
things out, and perfected their art.” Noisey/VICE.

GREYER THAN YOU REMEMBER
RELEASE DATE

EMPLOYED TO SERVE
GREYER THAN YOU REMEMBER
EMPLOYED TO SERVE’s trajectory to date has been explosive. Two bedroom-crafted EPs (released by Jay Randall
from Agoraphobic Nosebleed on Grindcore Karaoke) preceded last year’s full-band EP, ‘Change Nothing Regret
Everything’ which also marked the beginning of their relationship with Holy Roar Records. Embroiling a DIY approach
and work ethic, they have now played 100 gigs throughout Europe, in just over a year. Recorded and mixed by Lewis
Johns (Gnarwolves, Funeral For A Friend) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Converge, Integrity), their new album
‘Greyer Than You Remember’ was placed in safe hands.
This confident, cohesive and colossal sounding album of technical hardcore features the recurring theme of selfworth and apathy for life, a theme that was present in their previous release. It also focuses on tragic personalities
encountered in day-to-day life. They’ve honed their shards of mosh-detonation, such as the (early) Norma Jean/
Everytime I Die styling’s of ‘Threads’ and ‘No One’s Perfect...’, whilst also displaying expansive, cinematic tendencies
in tracks such as ‘Bones To Break’ and ‘As Cold As The Rest’, tracks that indicate that this band could go anywhere.

torrent of pure ferocity will cascade from your speakers. In an almighty culmination of influences that are
executed flawlessly, it’s a bold claim to make, but ‘Greyer Then You Remember’ is a revolutionary album, one
that is essential listening to all fans of heavy music. Though we’re not even midway through 2015, ‘Greyer Than

FYFE
CONTROL (COLOURED VINYL)’
RELEASE DATE
05.06.15
FYFE
CONTROL (COLOURED VINYL)
‘Control’ is a collection of brooding, expertly-crafted alternative pop songs, from an artist and producer who has
already earned fans as diverse as London Grammar to Childish Gambino (and over 3 million Soundcloud plays to
boot). For 24-year-old Paul Dixon a.k.a. FYFE, it’s a record which may have started as an exercise in tightening one’s
grip on life, but is effectively about release, and learning that control itself is a fallacy.
Written and entirely self-produced by FYFE, ‘Control’ feels as inspired by the 90s hip-hop beats which characterised
Dixon’s childhood as the delicate pop of The XX, via the swelling orchestral arrangements of Bjork’s ‘Volta’: all held
together by FYFE’s near-falsetto vocal croon. A pop record with a working brain and a beating heart, ‘Control’ is the
sound of an artist seizing back the reigns and then letting them go, turning his paint-smeared, back-to-camera to
face forwards – looking right at you, and into the future.

DUKE SPECIAL
LOOK OUT MACHINES!
Ulster born singer songwriter and gramophone impresario DUKE SPECIAL returns with ‘Look Out Machines!’, a
superbly crafted collection of catchy, rousing and lyrically poignant tracks. A most welcome and long overdue return
from an artist back at the very top of his game.
‘Look Out Machines!’ sees DUKE SPECIAL exploring new musical ground with collaborators including Iain Archer,
Phil Wilkinson and Gary Clark and heralds the return of an artist back at the very top of his game; a major difference
between his recent output and this album is that, for the most part, DUKE SPECIAL has placed himself in the
first-person with these songs. The obvious result is a more personal album. Yet as vulnerable as he may be, the
spectacular ‘In a Dive’ betrays his inner defiance. “I refuse a safety net,” he croons over a beautiful, elegant piano
riff, while the sweeping, elegiac ‘Domino’ draws the album to a close on a redemptive note.

«NEW RELEASE DATE«

SLABDRAGGER
REGRESS (RE-PRESS)
SLABDRAGGER can, and will, stand toe-to-toe with Torche, YOB, Floor, Sleep and Electric Wizard. Big words for a largely unknown
band from South London. But we genuinely feel that we have an undiscovered gem on our hands with SLABDRAGGER – they are
that good.
Two years in the making, and ridiculously fully-formed and fully-realised, SLABDRAGGER not only sing about epic quests to Nepal
to find killer weed, rubbish Roman Centurions, battling huge Octopian creatures and drinking rum, but they also feature the one and
only Sam Thredder.
If ever there was a wizard whose praises were unsung – Sam Thredder is the man. Having played in countless bands for almost 15
years (despite being only 28) and having recorded over 100 bands (reading like a ‘whose who’ of UK hardcore – Dead Swans, More
Than Life, Last Witness, Hang The Bastard, Prowler, Throats, Dirty Money, Deal With It, Nervous Wreck, TRC, The Legacy….) – the man
is a living legend. If ever there was a dude qualified to bring us a fucking great record, then it could well be him….
As the band’s UK label convince us: “We won’t lie, the band have barely played outside of London (albeit playing with Hang The
Bastard, Dopefight, Astrohenge and Void…), but take a punt with Holy Roar on this one…..this band deserves to be heard across
the globe.”

stuff.” - RockSound.tv
 “Before you even realise it they’re already pounding your ears with riffs heavier than lead and catchier than the plague. This
band is definitely one to watch!” - Metal-Archives.com
 “This record is just as epic as the quest to Nepal in search of killer weed that fills out the cosmic backstory to this utter
wrecking ball of an LP, and to try and disect it any further will not only render this piece of writing as nothing more than a list
of cool moments but also detract from the sheer, unbridled joy of listening to this record for the first time and discovering all of
its wonderful secrets, it’s multitude of layers, the hypnotic, crushing lullaby of closing track ‘Trichome Oddyssey’, the tapestry of
monolithic riffage. 20 plus listens in, I’m still discovering more.” - TightToTheNail.com
 “...an impressive hunk of despondent nastiness.” - Beard Rock.
 “Full of groove galore, I implore you to check out ‘Regress’... Slabdragger have produced one of the best debut sludge albums in
