The debut album from our favourite Brum kids Blakfish comes out 10th August, and we are super stoked because 'Champions' is a record you NEED to hear.

The album features former free download track 'Economics', as well as the forthcoming 7" single 'If The Good Lord Had Intended Us To Walk, He Wouldn't Have Invented Roller Skates', which is available now from the Hassle Records Big Cartel store.

The band are currently on a short tour of the UK with their friends in Colour.  See below for all the dates:

We psyched as it's possible to be to announce that we've signed Sparks The Rescue. The band will be over in a couple of weeks to support All American Rejects at The Roundhouse in London on June 9th, as well as playing a small show at The Barfly in Camden on the 8th.  Check out the video below for the track 'Autumn'.  The album 'Eyes To The Sun' comes out in September.

We're delighted to welcome Spinnerette into the Hassle Records family.

Brody & co will release the debut s/t album on 15th June, with the first single 'Baptized By Fire' (which got its first play on Zane Lowe's show last night) following on 29th June.

The band will play live in the UK this July at the following dates:

Check out the new video for 'Oh, Hello Ghost'.

We took this little bit of footage from Colchester Arts Centre last night of the guys playing the brand new song 'Engine Skull'

'Engine Skull' is available on the re-release of 'Hail Destroyer', which is out now.

One of our Hassle interns just left to concentrate on uni stuff, and as a parting gift gave us this Hassle logo branded skateboard deck.  It's pretty much the coolest thing we've ever seen evereverever.  THANK YOU CHARLENE, WE LOVE YOU!

We grabbed the guys for a quick snapshot after their show in Colchester on Sunday 26th April.  They'd just driven 15 hours from Ireland to get to Essex and play one hell of a gig, and then we made them pose backstage for our cameras.  Like the true pros they are, they lapped it up...
