This year, so far, has been a good year for underground DIY music in Bristol and with Bristol hosting its own Punx Picnic this year we figured we would create a compilation of bands from the Southwest of the U.K. and get it pressed and distributed. Just as a thanks for the relentless hard work. The compilation features Subhumans, Citizen Fish, 2 Sick Monkeys, Rash Decision, Piss On Authority, Slagerij, Will Tun & The Wasters, Surfin Turnips and many, many more. We are aiming to release the compilation on 15th June 2012 (first day of Bristol Punx Picnic). Stay tuned for final release info.

Other than the compilation, there will be a fair few more releases springing up in the coming months….

We have some great gigs coming up over the summer months in Bristol…

Aside from gigs, we have plenty in the works including the new Beng Beng Cocktail full length, the debut Ghetto Blaster release, a new Foolish split 7″, Southwest Punk Compilation, Private Gain EP and the Luvdump full length. This should all be dropping in the coming months. Other than these projects we will holding a vast amount of the ‘Tribute to rudimentary peni’ compilations which have been put together by our pals at Pumpkin Records. Please check by the webstore as we have new merchandise added and new releases. Including the blinding Cop Problem 7″. If you like your hardcore crusty then no doubt this will be right up your street.

That should do it for the moment,

“One(8)Seven”s debut EP ‘Defence Starts With Heart’ is out now. The band are rising out of Luxembourg and have been working on their debut release for the past few months. The EP is built up on a gritty skacore sound and is laced with violent crusty beatdowns and anthemic shout along lyrics! The release is split across 4 labels. Riot Ska Rec, Prejudice Me (UK), Synacalist Records (Can) and Infested Rec (USA). You can pick the the EP up now from the Riot Ska Webstore

Also Anti-Venöm have just released yet another EP ‘Planet Of The Apes’. This band are true Riot Ska Rec Ambassadors, they constantly fly the flag and push the cause, then they go and release an EP at this level. Sure, it is lo-fi… but you dont need much else. The 7 track EP is packed full of Punk, Ska, Grind, Hip Hop, Latino Verses, Synth… All of that rammed into 7 tracks. Click the image below to download it for free!
