Here's the official word.  Says it all:

"Tonight in Norwich, Justin broke his collar bone. There was a scuffle in the crowd, he dove head first in, landed awkwardly and that was that. We hate to cancel the remaining shows with Rise Against and our own headlining shows in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Russia. But after Chris Head having to fly home from Glasgow due to a death in the family, Pats 3 broken ribs that he started the tour with and now this. Its obvious the UK is trying to kill us. Fuck it, we'll reschedule it all, you may have won the battle, but we WILL WIN the war. Cordially yours. Anti-Flag."

For all those that missed it, here's some footage of Rolo Tomassi performing 'I Love Turbulence' at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London last night as part of the Shred Yr Face tour.  YES!

So yeah, the second Hassle acoustic session is go!

Based on the amazing reaction that the Four Year Strong show had, we're going to go repeat our feat of letting a Hassle band and their fans take over our teeny office.  And we're happy to announce that Anti-Flag will be gracing us with their presence on 6th March for a very intimate performance.

And of course, you all want to come, right?  Well all you need to do is email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it saying you want in, and we'll draw names from a hat until we have enough to ram out our little listening room.  The show will be at midday on the dot, so you'll need to make sure you can make it before you enter.

This is going to be a once in a lifetime performance for avid Anti-Flag fans, so make sure you send us your name.  Cos if you ain't on the list, you ain't coming in.

Last time, we had cake too.  We like cake.

Small print (but in normal font, so just 'print'): Due to awful legal issues, you have to be over 18 to come to this.  It's because we're not insured to have 'minors' on the premises. Rubbish, we know.

So we've got looooooooads going on with Anti-Flag at the moment, so thought we should give you a holler about it all.

First up, there's the incredibly exciting, going to be rammed ceiling-to-floor, FREE show at the Old Blue Last tomorrow.  It's 14+, so pretty much everyone can get involved.  No tickets, just turn up and fight like a Trojan to get in.  All details on the Facebook event here.

And second to that, to celebrate the release of new single 'The Modern Rome Burning' on March 2nd, we're giving away some freebies.  Right click the appropriate link below to download either a FREE ringtone taken from the song, or to download all of the audio parts to the track, allowing you remix as you see fit.  That's right, chop it up, mix it around and send it back to us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and we'll celebrate all your efforts for the world to see.

The guys in Propagandhi like to do things a bit differently.  The new album, the frankly stunning 'Supporting Caste' isn't released until 9th March, but the band have decided to make two tracks available as downloads way in advance to anyone who donates money to some of their preferred causes.

Just go here for all the info you need.

Here's a recently taken ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AUTHENTIC AND TRUE photo of the situation at Hassle towers today.

Ok, maybe not, but our office has been hit by the snow (welcome to the 21st century!), and we couldn't get in to work.  This means no store orders will be posted out today, and we apologise for that.  If we can work tomorrow, we'll do what we can to get everything out asap.

In the meantime, enjoy Snow Day / transfer deadline day.
