Big news, and those of you who tuned into Huw Stephens' show on Radio 1 last night will be well aware of this already, but we're overjoyed to announce the signing of UK upstarts Tubelord.
If you're new to the band, head over to www.hasslerecords.com/tubelord to listen to and download (for FREE) the awesome new track 'He Awoke On A Bench In Abergavenny' and for more info, you can simply head over and befriend them on Myspace.
Tubelord's debut album 'Our First American Friends' will be out on Hassle Records on October 5th, so stay tuned for the imminent pre-order details.
Welcome to Hassle Records, Tubelord. Here's to a lot of fun times together!
Check out this video Blakfish made of their weekend adventure at Sonisphere 2009. Aside from their blistering set, check out the Queen singalongs in the van and the band getting down to Limp Bizkit and Metallica!
We're ecstatic to announce that Four Year Strong will
be back in the UK / Europe in the Autumn as part of the Eastpak

The Ghost Of A Thousand).
These dates mark the first
time the band will have been over in support of new '90s covers album
'Explains It All', which is available from the Hassle online store.
