I can't wait to drown in this LP. Don't save me.

I remember this tune from last night... nice job guys!

nice voice and bass, drum too, smart guitar

We're turning five years old on October 19th, 2016!! To kick off celebrations that will happen throughout the year, here's a playlist featuring one song from every release so far!

Exploding In Sound Records Turns Five Years Old

PRE ORDER 7" AND COMIC: http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/products/517480-best-friends-happy-anniversary-nosebleeds-7-and-comic

Doherty and heroin. Gazza and the booze. Rolf and the kids. They all eventually relapsed, and would you look at that, it's our turn now too.

Having been featured on several past AIH releases, we return again to musical mystros and all-round-good-guys Best Friends. They’ve previously dominated cassette tape, CD/photo book and pizza box formats so we were running low on ideas of how to get these guys out .. obviously vinyl was a natural and long deserved progression.

And if vinyl wasn’t enough for you, the band have put together a comic that will be included with each 7” (which by the way are a lovely frosted colour). All the artwork is put together by Lew Currie of Nai Harvest.

"Happy Anniversary / Nosebleeds" is presented as a double AA single - the former starting slow, teasing a glimpse towards a more mature side of the band before morphing its way into a heroic climax and unleashing a true summer anthem. "Nosebleeds" is an audible cross-country train that doesn’t even have time to stop at Salisbury, taking you exactly where you want to be before you finish your packed lunch.

'Happy Anniversary / Nosebleeds' is set for release on September 23rd but is available to pre-order now. Purchase just the frosted 7” w/ comic or grab a package deal with a dope new Best Friends tee.

Taken from Family Portrait pt. II due for release 11th May 2015 on marbled 12" and digital download.

Bruising formed late last year after singer and guitarist Naomi Baguley spotted Ben Lewis wearing a Perfect Pussy t-shirt in a Leeds nightclub. Bonding over a mutual love of all things fuzzy, they began messaging voice memos from their phones back and forth until, finally, they got together in the same room and started writing some songs. Since then their infectious, ear worm, fuzz pop has gained them acclaim from the NME, DIY and even Radio 1's Huw Stephens, as well as being described by GoldFlakePaint as 'The best new guitar band in the country'.

Fond Han's official full length debut "Sham Cloud," due out September 23rd via Exploding In Sound Records.

Fond Han - New Alright

Another sad pop superhit from Gorgeous Bully with vocal duties shared with Rebecca Lima of Whorish Boorish . 

Thomas has allowed us to share this track as a musical apology for the delay with the Gorgeous Bully / Something Anorak split 7" that was due out in June. Due to extreme delays at the pressing plant, frustratingly we won't have the records until the end of September. This is obviously horrible for us, the bands and of course anyone that pre-ordered. Hopefully these two and a half minutes of fuzzy brilliance will go some way to thanking you for your patience.

If you didn't pre-order, it's not too late: http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/categories/gorgeous-bully-something-anorak

the worlds an oyster
lifes a race
but im stuck lying here 
half awake

nothing to do but dream of you

its motivation i cant find
always something
never the time

nothing to do but dream of you

'Never Lonely' is the first single to be taken from Cole Kinsler's album titled Big Sky. Out 26/08 on cassette via Super Fan 99 (EU) & limited CD via Dust Etc (US)

Listening to Space Mountain feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket after coming in from a freezing winters eve which naturally makes this a perfect summer release. The reason for this is, in truth Super Fan have never coped well in the summer heat, it's just not the weather we are accustomed to here in London. Call us miserable but we often miss those winter bus journeys home from college, rain hammering down on the steamed up windows while the records on our walkmans let us drift off to another time and place. In Big Sky we have a new favourite soundtrack in waiting. The 9 tracks which make up 'Big Sky’ bring to mind 90s Merge faves such as Neutral Milk Hotel and The Magnetic Fields or a country inflected Alex G.

Initially inspired by the DIY music he discovered during college, Cole has been recording and self releasing an album every year since 2013. Big Sky marks his first full international release and he intends to continue the project in whichever direction his inspirations take him.

The first 25 copies of the cassette release will include a square one sided lathe cut vinyl of ’Never Lonely’ As always these will be one copy per person and you’ll have to be quick to grab one. Never Lonely features guest vocals from Ava Trilling of New Jersey band Forth Wanderers. Pre-order starts on 15/08. 

"LAID-BACK LO FI FUZZ POP THAT PUNKS. THIS BAND GOES GREAT WITH GETTING BAKED" OH MY ROCKNESS

"CLASSICAL RUGGED EXCEPTIONALISM" STEREOGUM

"THE CROSSFADED SOUND OF RED HOUSE PAINTERS WITH HELIUM" SLOUCHER

Space Mountain - Never Lonely

don't give in to the bad feelings

Person Box

Moment

alright jon plays guitar on the second half of the song

always in a daze
take me home
always run away
take me home
no I’m not okay
take me home
please stay go away
take me home
heart break won’t shake
all alone
erase my face 
for your own good

better off alone
it’s good to know yourself
sing a song
pick your head up off your shoulders
maybe go outside 
and see the sunrise
take some time to think
know what you’re thinking
make sense of all 
which makes you feel like shit
throw it all away
crumble like paper
and before you do
think you should know better
don’t stay inside
and miss the good weather
don’t run and hide
you’re not so clever
whatever

take me home
