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 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it 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.

They talk about their proudest, funniest and wildest moments, as well as tour memories, what its been like playing all over the world with a debut album, how they all met and what its been like growing up together. They also list every show they’ve ever played and include never seen before photo's of the band on the road.
