DARK GLOBES
INDIE, SHOEGAZE, NOISE POP
Reassuringly downbeat, ego-free pop
music, burying fragile songs under a
fuzzy blanket of reverb, lit by a candle
of jangle.
A shy collective of Southenders, a mismatched
coalescence of oddballs.
THE PENNY ANTICS
GRUNGE/PUNK
A frantic and energetic
two piece Grunge/Punk
from Essex.
Gigging around for three years now
and are known for their unpredictable
and energetic performances and play
each set as though it was their last; in
both practices and gigs!
Their new EP ‘NOT(e)WORTHY’ is out
now, check out the video for their
single ‘Pincushion’ on Youtube.
E/THEPENNYANTICS
Q/THEPENNYANTICSOFFICIAL
Their debut album ‘Everyone I Know Is
Falling Apart’ is the culmination of all of
their disparate influences - indie heroes
Teenage Fanclub, the reverb-drenched
melancholy of Yo La Tengo and Galaxie
500 and the precise jangle of Felt – but
with a distinctive voice all its own, a
sound that takes inspiration from all
over, but could only come from the
Essex coast.
Released on the recently resurrected
Half Machine Records – known for releasing
debut singles by Real Estate,
Woods, Banjo or Freakout and the critically
acclaimed reissue of Roberto Cacciapaglia’s
space pop classic The Ann
Steel Album.

K WWW.WALKINCOMA.CO.UK
Recorded live at the Black Country
Recording Company (Wolverhampton)
in front of a select audience of
friends and strangers, Fauxchisels At
The B.C.R.C. perfectly captures the energy
and attitude of one of the West
Midlands’ brightest post-punk trios.
Nine tracks of intense punky noiserock
— solid bass and drums creating
the bedrock for the spiky guitar and
colloquial ‘in-your-face’ vocals – serve
as both a reflection of our times, and
as a necessary verbose call from
inaction, with a wry sense of humour
and a poetic bent.
Released on heavy-weight orange
vinyl (first 100 copies with full colour
lyric zine), limited edition cassette and
streaming/download.

NEW RELEASE!
SPUN
GUARANTEES EP
Out 13th July 2018
Southend fuzz-mongers, Spun
are back again with their third
single and title track of their
upcoming debut EP; Guarantees.
Dangerously close to breaking
the 3 minute mark, Guarantees
is about frustration towards
compliance and repetition in
every day life and wanting
something different.
Taking influence from bands
such as The Misfits, Deftones,
The Smashing Pumpkins and
Jawbreaker, Spun was formed
FOR FANS OF:
PUNK/90’s ALT ROCK
FORMATS:
CD/ DOWNLOAD
at the start of 2017 with the
intention of making unashamedly
distorted guitar music.
Swerving more polished,
aspirational sounds, Spun
endeavour to offer something
raw and obnoxious.
With tracks lambasting Bus
drivers to the boldly titled
“Great British Peado Hunt”, the
band’s debut EP delves into
provincial isolation and the
attitudes it inflicts.
As well as being available on
streaming platforms, a limited
run of copies of the EP will be
available for preorder from
15th June with a free
download of the single
Release date: July 13, 2018

formula, but with laser focus and a
polished sheen.

THROUGH AMPLIFIED GUITAR, ORGAN AND ELECTRONICS
Thie debut album
from Rorquals,
comprises of 4
pieces written
over the course
of 2017.

written with a more structured direction
utilising walls of distorted guitar
drones whilst heavily incorporating
organ sounds to give the pieces more
of a melodic dynamic throughout.
The album was recorded live and includes
sections of improvisation within
the arrangements. This is with the aim
of keeping that 'in the moment' vibe
and to give the listener an honest portrayal
of the Rorquals live experience.

“Heavy South,”

detours adding colour.
The Utilities sound confident on
“Heavy South,” refining the strengths
of their previous releases with the help
of Albertan producer Jesse Northey.
"Heavy South" is an inviting record
that rewards repeated listens.
