Upcoming Releases
 Bromheads Jacket
Speaker Box
The grand return of Bromheads Jacket, a band that quietly sold 20,000 copies of their debut album. Their hair has got longer and they picked up a Hammond along the way, but there’s no mistaking the short-sharp-punk antics that embody Bromheads. | | Marquis Cha Cha
7" Single
£4.00 - BUY |
|  Darlings of the Splitscreen
Hiroshima / Turn Around
Great new single from the hotly tipped Darlings, with a 80s nu-romo lekky pop groove. Lovely stuff that's already had the cool kids drooling on themselves as they thrust Myspace messages to book them for their nights. | | Razor Stiletto
7" Single
£4.00 - BUY |
|  Rhythm Method
Renegade Silence
Second single on the magnificent 50 Bones label, this is a sublime sleaze-funk pop record from former Death From Above 1979 man Sebastian Grainger. Gonna sell out just as fast as the first one! | | 50 Bones
7" Single
£5.00 - BUY |
|  Heartsrevolution
CYOA! Remix 12
Brodinski, Lazaro Casanova, CFCF, Lauren Flax and Dan Oh line up to remix the bonkers American act while our fave local illustrator, the genius that is Kate Moross does the art. What more do you really need? Not cheap but this is a collectors piece work. | | IHeartComix
Vinyl 12"
£18.00 - BUY |
|  Jay Reatard
See/Saw / Screaming Hand - SIGNED
The crazed pair wielding triangle guitars and the biggest perms since Whitesnake left the building are playing our shop on May 19th - will be INSANE. We saw em several times at South By Southwest and it was amazing! | | Matador Records
7" Single
£4.00 - BUY |
|  Electrocute
On The Beat
The debut release on the soon to be huge Germs Of Youth label. Inspired by palm trees and sunshine, the new single mixes 60s bubblegum pop, electro and beach party fun in the tradition of the B-52s and the Go-Gos. | | Germs Of Youth
CD Single
£4.00 - BUY |
|  Noah And The Whale
Shape of My Heart - Gatefold Disc One
Another utterly delightful record from the band that will be playing a library for us on Thursday! This is such a fine record - beautifully subtle but with lashings of Beirut-esque brass. A band that will certainly become a national treasure very soon. | | Young And Lost Club
7" Single
£4.00 - BUY |
| Noah And The Whale
Shape of My Heart - Disc Two
Another utterly delightful record from the band that will be playing a library for us on Thursday! This is such a fine record - beautifully subtle but with lashings of Beirut-esque brass. A band that will certainly become a national treasure very soon. | | Young And Lost Club

|  Hush The Many (Heed The Few)
Revolve - SIGNED
Beautifully building string-led songwriting that'll appeal to fans of the kind of North American bands that usually do this sound so much better than us. Usually, but not always, as this shows. Signed by the band for you. | | Alcopop
7" Single
£4.00 - BUY |
|  A Place To Bury Strangers
Debut 12
Second release on Tapedeck's Meal Deal imprint - a change of direction now with one of our fave new acts - APTBS take Mary Chain style feedback and run with it, bringing in tougher riddims from frenetic synths and drum machines. | | Meal Deal
