Releases // Monday 6th April

Not many out this week.

The No Pain In Pop label have been bringing you some of the best new bands recently such as Telepathe, Health and Banjo or Freakout. They have now released a eclectic mixpate of tracks which features the bands previously mentioned, Abe Vigoda, Pens and A Grave With No Name. It's only available on CD but for £5 it's going to be worth it.

Ulterior have been tearing up east London shows since forming in 2006. Their aggressive, raw sound has led them to being compared to the likes of Suicide, Jesus and Mary Chain and Big Black. This CD includes both singles '15' and 'Weapons' that have been released on the up and coming DiscError label and a few other new tracks. You can see Ulterior's signature raw live performance on the 1st May at Josephs Well.

This one is available for Pre-Order and isn't out until early May but as only 500 copies worldwide I would order in now. 'Headhunters' is Graffiti Island's best effort so far, it's a simple, bass driven Lo-fi track with the vocals falling in and out of spoken word. The artwork for it's pretty rad too.
