That's right, that's albums from Alkaline Trio, We Are The Ocean, Cancer Bats, Rolo Tomassi, FACT, 65daysofstatic, fun., Attack! Attack! and Trash Talk, which we like to think is a pretty amazing prize. All you have to do is this:
At Reading or Leeds festivals this weekend, all you need to do is take a photo or video of you representing Hassle Records in some way. It could be through wearing one of our Hassle Records t-shirts or badges, or it could be through flying a flag from your tent (or in the crowd) of the Hassle Records logo. There are also apparently many fences at the festivals ripe for a bit of stenciling, and we believe there maybe a tattoo tent of some description at the festival too. Just sayin'. Or, you could just head to the signing tent and try get a photo or video of you with one of our bands. Whatever, it's up to you, but the more creative the better! Then just email your entry to

or post it to our Facebook page and whoever we reckon has done the best gets the goodies. Get involved, like.
And for those of you who are feeling creative, you can nab a high res version of the Hassle Records logo here.
