There's too much ambient music. Things would improve if ambient musicians had to produce a symphonic power metal LP, a Carnatic grindcore ballet or a jazz fusion opera in F# Phrygian once every 5 years, just to show they can (cf The Straight Story) before being allowed to fire up the reverb again.

in the end the real equity for punks were the punks we met along the way.

Sage advice from Viz

The pressing plant we use is based Germany. We use them because they're the best. The album is a split release between Wrong Speed and Learning Curve (Minneapolis). The records shipped last Friday. Gets to America in three days. But for us? Tied up in knots at Customs, no sign of them clearing. 1/2

“NO MORAL REALM / NO PROPAGANDA / JUST BLIND SINCERITY AND JOY FOR THE CURIOSITY IN YOURSELF AND OTHERS” – E.R.S. 2026

It's new Wrong Speed Records release announcement day! Rejoice! WSR082 is "A Plague Of Gimps", the 2nd solo album by EDWIN R STEVENS. We know we're fond of (polite, realistic) hyperbole at WSHQ but this one might be the best album that's ever landed in our laps...

The new album is rammed with stormers. Should have held some back and made some fillers but ah well… heycolossus.bandcamp.com/album/heaven...

Had a go on this yet? You should...

You can just call anything "Psych" can't you? Oh a rock band with a synthesiser? Psych. Got a wah pedal? Psych. Got a bassist who can spell LSD? Psych.

"Clock" is the second single from the forthcoming HEY COLOSSUS album "Heaven Was Wild" and features guest vocals from Claire of Objections, Nape Neck and Beards. It's the closest the HC6 are going to come to a pop banger and has a suitably world-weary video by singer Paul that you can see here...

Our Corsica Studios closing parties kick off tomorrow with Part Chimp, AAA Gripper & The Mute Servants! We have added an extra date for Big Sexy Noise (Lydia Lunch & Gallon Drunk) on Feb 2nd. 35 tickets left for Holy Tongue & Soborgnost. dice.fm/promoters/ba...

Irked is long gone. We have Irked news very soon. #irked jellyskin - we have a sweet new press of this album. Got around ten copies left. Sea foam green vinyl.

BLOODY HEAD "Bend Down And Kiss The Ground" is officially out TODAY! Stream it in full on Bandcamp now (and on digital platforms later today) and order the limited edition LP directly from us or from all decent independent retailers (we recommend Norman, Beat & Track, Land Of Treason for starters)

this is the only way to appreciate someone playing a bitchin guitar solo

Yesterday I really did kick fuck out of a bin and it's the best I've felt in months. Recommended.

“It was a simpler time then, back when all people wanted to talk about was the leader of the country molesting underage girls,” said Denver resident Scott Munoz

Fuck yeah

In the final days of Nottingham Selectadisc, I bought the double LP deluxe version of this, handed Gary X Ray £40 in cash and he came back with £40 change for me.

Simple test of music retailer quality: are they stocking the new Bloody Head? Norman = excellent music retailer. (Large "indie" shop trading on association with genuinely good label, operating sale-or-return only and receiving business rate deals from local councils = not so good music retailer)

JUST IN! 'Bend Down And Kiss The Ground' by Bloody Head Notts noise rockers Bloody Head balance discord and riffy weight with cosmic drift and sprawl. LP on Wrong Speed Records. www.normanrecords.com/records/2132...

Not-so-gentle reminder that the new BLOODY HEAD album "Bend Down And Kiss The Ground" is officially out this Friday on everyone's favourite income-tax-disaster-zone Wrong Speed Records! Here's the title track, filmed on my shitty mobile phone (RIP) in a concrete room filmed with resonant metal...

This guy has never tried to uninstall Gemini

Changed my phone for first time since 2020 and holy shit what is this AI assistant hell? I'm an old man who just wants an easy life (and for sound engineers to not tell me to turn down but that's a separate thread). Why is technology so impossibly, pointlessly shit?

Look at them, so young, so naive. (Really need to update our online photos)
