Day2 of Trash Talk Week on hasslerecords.com brings you the tracks 'F.Y.R.A' and 'Worthless Nights'.  Brutal.

To celebrate the coming together of Hassle Records and hardcore / thrash crossover mob Trash Talk, we're celebrating the not-very-imaginatively-titled 'TRASH TALK WEEK' with daily video or audio updates for all you Trash Talk newcomers, as well as revealing a very special pre-order later in the week.

For those not yet with the Trash Talk knowledge, check out the video below of the band playing live off the back of a van at the Sound and Fury festival in California earlier this year.

Expect the same brand of fury and sound (see what we did there?) when the band come over to these shores to support our friends in Gallows in the winter.

We've joined forces with our friends at Vagrant to offer you a FREE download compilation album featuring a range of artists across both labels.  All you need to do to get the album is add yourself to our mailing list using the sign up below (if you're already on the list, you've already been emailed with the album!).  You'll be sent a link in the confirmation email and from there you can download the album.

Fresh from signing to us lot here Hassle Records, Tubelord, have announced the release of their highly anticipated debut album, ‘Our First American Friends’ on October 12th.

To get the ball rolling, the band will release the first single and long-time live/online favourite, ‘Propeller’, on September 28th and they've reached out to some of their favourite up and coming artists from around the world to design unique and individual vinyl sleeves for all 500 of the limited edition 7" singles.  

Each seven-inch single boasts a design by an artist from a collective hand-picked by Tubelord frontman Jo Prendergast, with the artwork inspired by the song’s lyrics and art concept. The pieces of art, as well as some artists, will take part in an exhibition being held to showcase the single as well as the collective effort by people from across the UK and Europe. The London exhibition will take place at The Lock Tavern in Camden (Sept 29th) and the Leeds one will appear at Nation Of Shopkeepers (Sept 27th).

Each design and the creation process behind the art, is now available to view on http://rainboliatric.blogspot.com where they will be displayed as they come in.
