Review of the LP from Sorry State:

Debut 12" by this new UK band, and once again France's Shogun Records has uncovered another diamond in the rough. I read a description online that compares this to bands like Cult Ritual and Total Abuse, but I'm not really seeing that as much... the songs are more mid-paced, with catchy riffs that could almost have a post-punk feel if they weren't produced and performed so aggressively. The vocals are great too, spit out with real venom, but remaining catchy and memorable... the tenor of the vocals actually reminds me a little bit of Ceremony's earlier, more hardcore, stuff, but the comparisons stop there... and while I'm at it I might as well throw out the customary comparisons to United Mutation and Die Kreuzen, as they're certainly applicable here. If, this past year, you burned up your records from bands like No and Nasa Space Universe this is one that needs to be on your turntable. Excellent.

Whilst we almost left them on a table in Scruffy Murphy's the other night, we still have plenty of records. Email dylanglenny@hotmail.co.uk if you want to cop one. Playing in Worcester soon. That's it for now. Peace.

We'll have copies of the LP at our next few gigs, the 17th Nov is now gonna be in Birmingham with Down & Outs. You can also email thawedoutpunk@gmail.com & we'll sort you out. Side A new songs are up for stream/download here.

LP is out now, to order go here. A side consists of 4 new songs, B side is demo tracks. We're playing in London on Nov 16th, and something is being sorted in Manc for the 17th so stay tuned & shit.

Our next show is this coming Sunday with COKE BUST in Birmingham. We will have a couple of tapes with songs from the 12" on while the LP is being pressed

We're playing this gig in Manc, good line-up apart from us, come down. Our new record has been sent to the pressing plant. Might have some tapes with us, might have had more than one practice, who knows?

We've got a few gigs lined up.
