If there was any justice, 'Welsh TikTok' would be called, 'PoptyPing,' but that name has already been taken by a superb record label @poptypingrecds.bsky.social

You know that thing when you really love a band and see them many times and once fly half way round the world to watch them play a bar in St Kilda and then 25yrs later they buy your records?well yes exactly that. What a bloody lovely thing x

Allan Nawr... 💫 Shamoniks 💫 Malan 💫 Martha Elen 💫 Campfire Social Llongyfarchiadau Malan a Recordiau Côsh for landing another Spotify editorial playlist — head over to Our Generation to catch Lovesick 💚

totally buying this...

😍😍😍

Predictably Krankenhaus was utterly epic

Krankenhaus festival is bloody lovely

I wore mine in Toronto this past weekend and my son was like, "Do you wear a Popty Ping shirt everywhere we go?" (I have 3, so kinda yeah.) And then I told him how one day there will be a Christmas one, and I'll buy that too. (When's that one coming, btw?)

Cheers to whoever is wearing a Popty Ping t shirt at Krankenhaus. That made me smile a lot x

like great radio? (I genuinely do). BBC 4 extra currently has the original 83 version of When the Wind Blows (the radio play version of the Briggs book) on BBC Sounds. starring Peter Sallis & Brenda Bruce it's a world away from the same voice as Wallace / Grommit. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

It’s a year since we released @campfiresocial.bsky.social ‘s They Sound The Same Underwater so we’re going to start posting a bit about the lp to remind those of you there’s 25 or so copies left to snap up….

Since we’ve got 1k followers probably seems wise to repost this. We put new bands on 7” vinyl releases. They’re all bloody brilliant and they’ve all gone on to bigger and better things. See this thread to understand / here more x

In more new music news, I reckon Cliffords to be the best thing from Cork since the Frank and Walters (or maybe Fight Like Apes). I really like this, track down their 12" if you can, it'll soon prove a smart financial investment www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdDg...

any of you lot going to Sea Power's Krankenhaus festival this year? x

Currently hammering this by Men An Tol. Basically it’s what happens when teenagers are brought up on both Oasis and great Folk music Not enough bands with Mandolins I reckon. youtu.be/9b0LgcuBg8I?...

Genuinely didn’t realise we had so many followers on here. Will now plan to find some good music stuff to post about x

Both our @campfiresocial.bsky.social and @chromabanduk.bsky.social play Alexander’s in Chester on Sunday 24th August supporting @adwaithmusic.bsky.social tickets are £13 in advance

One thousand followers! Crikey hello you lot xx

Whilst Campfire Social and Murder Club both take baby related short breaks, I figured I'd try and and highlight some of the music I've heard this year and really liked, so here's a hoped for thread. No.1 : Cliffords with My Favourite Monster : youtu.be/BdDg9kCQVx0?...

Add some Spin Doctors** and you’d genuinely have the worst music in the world. **substitute Jive Bunny if preferred. A horrific cacophony will occur either way

Ah another year I’ve totally failed to get to primavera. Next year…

Not wanting to be a total pedant, but the building Joy Division shot the Love Will Tear Us Apart video in (T J Davidsons in Little Peter Street) was demolished in the early 2000's (I went in it once for work) www.theguardian.com/music/ng-int...

Just had a look to check this. no wonder it's half empty at £71 plus fees for an obstructed view and over £200 for a standing ticket. fuck that for a game of soldiers...

(And I am so bloody minded and stubborn I’m going to make this label get to its 9th release if it bloody kills me) look how utterly great our records are

I’m not wanting to boast but we’ve sold so many copies of the back catalogue of records after the Murder Club release that there are no longer any boxes of records in my spare bedroom wardrobe…. (Still many boxes under the bed though - buy them, god they’re great)

Look at these beautiful slabs of vinyl! Don’t you want them for your collections also? They both sound and look bloody great xx

#np #nowplaying New addition to the @poptypingrecds.bsky.social family PING0008… Murder Club: cave on / 4EVA

The always excellent @adamthomaswalton has an interview with @campfiresocial and 8 live tracks off theirs / our PING101LP (They Sound The Same Underwater) from their set at @focuswales 2025 on his BBC Radio Wales show last night , 2hrs 10 mins or so in xx

So a year or so ago we put out the brilliant @campfiresocial.bsky.social lp titled 'They Sound The Same Underwater'. We're incredibly proud of it and worked really hard to ensure all the artwork and presentation matched the quality of the songs. If you like this : www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QiD...

Sold a number of @redtelephone.bsky.social PING006 7" singles in the last month following their recent shows and new lp. for fans of Suede / MGMT / Depeche Mode. it's a bloody great 7" which we love to pieces. Watch the video to Day off here (best played loud) : www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZyy...

Literally just seen guys at @lepub.bsky.social for the release of this record. They were brilliant 🤩

playing MURDER CLUB '4eva' instagram.com/Murderclubuk @Murderclubuk #BBCIntroducingOnRadioWales

We've released an 8th 7" Vinyl single. it's by the brilliant @MurderClubuk It's got 2 smashing, massive songs about love, despair & exiting a toxic relationship. It's picked up radio play (inter) nationally. We need to sell 220 to break even : popty-ping-records.bandcamp.com/album/ping00...

This is even the same font as the old CHROMA logo…

As we release PING008 there’s some lovely full back catalogue photos turning up….

The brand new single from Murder Club released by our pals @poptypingrecds.bsky.social is in stock now ❤️ Feat none other than Ade's fiancée, Murder Club deliver 2 slices of fuzzy pop w/ songs that will be ingrained in your mind forever! These are absolute bops for sure 💃 Seriously catchy stuff 👌

Primal Scream : Reading 1994. Gorillaz : Glastonbury 2010

Well, this is just fabulous 😍 @poptypingrecds.bsky.social Killer B-side too! popty-ping-records.bandcamp.com/album/ping00...

34 years later and Jason's hoped for dismissal of his past as 'Spacemen Who?' hasn't really worked, given they're probably selling more records than ever these days.

Cheers to Kevin Cole at KEXP for giving PING008 its first US AirPlay xx

Got my hands on the new @poptypingrecds.bsky.social single today and it’s really great

New @poptypingrecds.bsky.social single day, and it is indeed a smasher. This will fill that Peaness-sized hole in your life and then some.

And following that with a bit of @poptypingrecds.bsky.social 007 & 008 action courtesy of @nikkip51.bsky.social 🙂

One notable Popty band member also thought this was the actual name of the BBC's world famous studios...

Many thanks to @huwstephensdj.bsky.social for giving Murder Club’s 4EVA a spin on his BBC Radio Wales show last just. Listen back 2hrs 15mins in xx

Update we’ve sold 3 full back catalogues also. Seems Mekons fans really like their vinyl…

We’ve sold 4 Murder Club 7”’s to Yorkshire addresses today. and the band sold all their box of 25 singles at last nights Mekons gig. Seems that went down well then !!

Gig 29/25 - down to the Brudenell for The Mekons with support from The Murder Club. #keepmusiclive
