Like this! Art Is Hard Records is turning 2, and to celebrate - they're giving away their entire back catalogue 12 releases and close to songs for free download! They have gone rug warehouse crazy! They aren't eccentric left wing billionaires however so it only lasts til midnight tonight Tuesday 18th September.

Head to their Bandcamp to grab it all! I have posted about most of it, and I've lost track of all the Bi-Weekly Singles they have put out but know they are ace, so get in there!

They also have a reworked logo see above and a new shirt out see below. And here is one of my favourite AIH-discovered bands with one of my favourite songs of theirs Wednesday, 12 September Big Sound stuff.

And so it begins Big shoes to emulate, but there is credence in such claims. I for one can see why some people consider these kinds of things a bit of a wank, but it gets people interested in all facets of music, which can't be a bad thing. But the most exciting thing about Big Sound is Big Sound Live showcases bands within a two block radius all playing over the next two nights. There are some amazing bands that are playing, some of which I have spoken about at length in previous posts Violent Soho, Transistors, Kirin J Callinan, Velociraptor , but there is a huge list of great acts doing the rounds.

Below is a "hitlist" of artists to try and check out. Ill be around and about reviewing, taking snaps, and other things I won't dare to mention here. See you on the beach! I came to these guys through 's Oui , and I think they have stronger albums than this - yet Runner rivals them all. It's breezy, energetic, and adds resonance to the adage "a new lease on life", a band ever-willing to play with form.

Pre-order Runner here. Pre-order copies come in green vinyl - yes! I'm not sure if there are any left, so get in now! Vale Hydra Head. Sometimes it's incredibly hard to wake up in the morning. At others you wish you hadn't. Today is the latter, because although I have so much work on, plus covering Big Sound Live tonight more on that later , I felt pretty good about getting up early to have a long shower - until I cranked on the computer and found the following message from Aaron Turner, founder of Hydra Head Records.

We've spent the majority of our existence excitedly scrambling from one thing to the next, taking on more than we could ever possibly hope to achieve, and never quite finding solid footing in the midst of our self-induced whirlwind of chaos. Though not every second of doing this label has been enjoyable, it has been a very rewarding and meaningful project for me, and I hope for many of the other lives to which it has been directly connected.

The fact that it has lasted close to two decades at this point is astonishing, and much has changed during that time - the lives of those directly involved with running the label, the bands and artists we've worked with, and the nature of the music industry itself.

Though many of these changes have been positive, or at least illuminating, the impact of our history and current industry circumstances are culminating into a slow and somewhat painful death for the label.

It certainly isn't an entirely unforeseen event, but we didn't think it would come quite so abruptly, or perhaps naively ever. The decision to pull the plug has not been an easy one, and in some ways is a not a choice at all.

The simple fact of the matter is we've been running on empty for a while now and cannot afford to keep our doors open for much longer. Years of imbalance between creative ideals and financial realities, personal problems amongst the label operators, an unwillingness to compromise our aesthetic standards, a tendency towards releasing challenging i. It is a harsh but undeniable reality, and one which we are attempting to confront with as much integrity and grace as is afforded by the circumstances.

For the short term we will continue to operate as we have been, effecting our first step into shutdown this December, at which point we are cutting off new releases from the label. Thereafter, we will be remain operational only in the interest of maintaining our back catalog, with the ultimate aim of repaying our rather sizable debts. Grim though this prospect is, in the midst of it all I still feel an extreme gratitude for everything that has happened and for all the wonderful people with which we've been involved over the years.

We've been lucky enough to work with some of the most unique and provocative artists of the last two decades, many of which have made indelible impressions in the underground, and by extension the larger world of music in general.

We've also been fortunate to have had the support of a small but loyal following, who've constituted the very essence of our life force.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and love to each and every person who contributed to making this label what it is - all the artists who entrusted us as the custodians of their work, all the people that bought or listened to our releases, and all the people who performed the various label duties at various offices and houses across the continent. Though it is highly unlikely we'll be able to resuscitate the label, we do wish to follow through on the final round of releases to which we're committed and pay off our debts to our artists and manufacturers.

In order to do this we are initiating a massive sell-off of everything we can dig up and produce for the next months. For anyone that is able and willing to fund our funereal arrangements please visit our direct mailorder or webstore and pick up whatever you can. Any and all support is greatly appreciated by our remaining team, and will be put to the best use possible.

There is no way to sum up nearly 20 years of incredibly important music, experiences, and evolution other than to say a big heart felt "thank you", and that we hope this closing will provide an opening into other even more positive and rewarding experiences for all of us and all of you who have been a part of our shared experience. For now we bid you all a very fond farewell This is mighty sad news indeed. Over the next 6 to 12 months, as stated above, they will be selling off all their wares, so make sure you get in there, buy some of the best shit out there and support Aaron and co.

They will be sorely missed. You will see elements of GG Allin, Dan Melchior and closer to home Amateur Childbirth and Peter Black in the tracks on Shit Music , which is anything but, an album chock full of pop tunes that are skewed in every way imaginable. Then there is Colours , another acoustic sojourn into the strange, acerbic recesses of his soul.

You can download both albums plus a lot lot more here. Great reference points. And I'm happy to say that their debut release Dining Room fits in rather nicely with these sounds. There is something lackadaisical yet focused about these acts, and Mining Boom, whilst a little more hushed than their contemporaries, offer a lithe kitchen sink glimpse into inner suburban malaise.

Furthermore on 'Craigie', we have the humorous titular tale of Craig that definitely isn't going to be charging the charts, but is an incredible sub-two minute scraggy pop tune. This is definitely one band to watch. Brainwashing The Masses. I was a massive fan of Sons of Stone , the debut longplayer from Lansing, Michigan psychers The Peoples Temple check out that post here , and I'm glad to say that they are prepping for something equally as mind bending.

Some Tech House for you: Ross Mt. Spoek Mathambo, Destrukto's first remix with a lil help from his friends and others. Part one of a longer post.
