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.

WALK IN COMA

Walk In Coma are an alternative

metal band who have been hitting the

Essex live circuit for over a decade.

Drawing from their combined influences

of Slipknot, Lamb Of God and

Architects as well as many other eclectic

individual tastes has given the band

Horizon..

Fiction and Fate’ is out now on all digital

platforms.

Release date: June 22 2018

Release tite: Blur The Line Of

E/WALKINCOMA Q/WALKINCOMA

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.

Release date: July 30th 2018

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

Release tite: Guarantees

Thie debut album

from Rorquals,

comprises of 4

pieces written

over the course

of keeping that 'in the moment' vibe

and to give the listener an honest portrayal

of the Rorquals live experience.
