On 22nd March we'll be issuing Blank Statements debut, Signs Are Rampant, on vinyl for the first time. Originally released as a very limited run of cassettes on Hobbies Galore in 2017, all eight tracks are featured here alongside one previously unheard track, 'Successor Island'. It's a strictly limited run of just 300 copies - 200 on black vinyl, and 100 on white vinyl only available via the Tough Love Bandcamp & online shop. Pre-order here - http://smarturl.it/BlankStatements

If you're hearing some kinship with fellow Melburnians The Stroppies, then your ears are functioning right - Claudia and Steph play in both bands, and of course, Hobbies Galore is the original home for both, not to mention Julia's solo project. And there's a shared spirit of DIY spontaneity on show, here allied with a whip-smart sense of humour that's as addictive as it is intimidating. Smart, funny, effortless, as debuts go it's an impressive concoction that teeters on the edge of collapse. But of course it never does. Needless to say, we're very much anamoured with this record and are privileged to bring it to vinyl (and digital) for the first time.

Blank Statements - Successor Island

I think I spent more than half of last year telling anyone who would listen about 1800, so it's an honour and a thrill to announce the rest-of-the-World pressing of Big Supermarket's debut LP, previously released in mid 2018 in Australia-only via the Hobbies Galore label. Limited to 300 copies on green vinyl, pre-order here - http://smarturl.it/BigSupermarket

Little information about Big Supermarket exists online - no 'official' band photos, no accurate information re personnel, no social media profile - so much of what is known about the band must be earned in the old fashioned way: from listening to the music itself. That alone has been difficult enough, given that until now the record had no distribution outside of Australia and was only available by Bandcamp. In an era of information overload and endless image cultivation, it's refreshing to uncover a band - yes, a band, not producer or 'solo bedroom auteur' - who favour the shadows, who prefer to leave some things unsaid.

What is present is a collection of fourteen songs recorded over a three year period in Kensington, Victoria, that trace a wobbly line through the backstreets of jangle-pop, new wave, and post-punk in a way that sees them oscilate between the melodic and the obtuse. In that sense, there's an obvious affinity with much of the early Flying Nun output, where an appreciation of the classicism of pop songwriting rubbed shoulders with a fierce DIY spirit charged on the more outre possibilities of punk autodidactism. Australia is making a habit of producing compelling, singular new guitar-led bands. In their shunning of the traditional cycles of publicity and promotion, Big Supermarket have counter-intuitvely emerged as a leading light. A secret to be passed around that doubtless wont remain a secret for much longer.

03. iiiso - HOMEOSTASIS (prod. @HushDeGod) LYRICS:

"Will I ever reach homeostasis?
driven to the end, beyond motivated.
been here many times, many ages
playing in the matrix,
I'm a soul creator!!

I'm imagination, feel me in your veins.
I see that you need love, I know why you came!
in a way it ain't safe here..
can you give it all up??
Even when I'm gone there is still gon be tomorrow
is it an excuse that my childhood left me hollow?
thoughts of suicide as a kid, I had a problem.
I decided then and fuckin there I'll be a SOLVER!
Look like my trauma help develop my power..
hidden in me power!
they cannot bring harm to me no more,
will not allow em!
Bring peace any way I gotta!!
Heavy is the weight I carry!!!

Will I ever reach homeostasis?
driven to the end, beyond motivated.
been here many times, many ages
playing in the matrix!! (x2)

I swear! 
There ain't no feeling on this earth that compare!!
I am the flow, I can't be stopped. Can't be killed!
this is much bigger than me.
Calling all my brothers & my sisters across the world!!
I got what they want so bad but they can't take it
I live for the journey, not the destination
Never in a hurry baby I be patient.
In my mind I already made it!

Will I ever reach homeostasis?
driven to the end, beyond motivated.
been here many times, many ages
playing in the matrix!!!!!"

We shoot through the city like
Cells in a bloodstream
And go to sleep, now
The trees get taller every day!
Watch light dive head first
Down into the skyline
And fight time, now
But you can't change it anyway
And that's me
Just a part of this machine
Tryna chase dreams and dopamine
It doesn't matter if you like it
But I can tell you wanna fight it
And that's you
Everything you say so true
Everything you do so new
But you don't really win shit
Talkin big is your addiction

I'll wait here for you
To realize your own lies
You're so high, you don't try

Hate on the way the wind blows
And see if it makes any difference
I promise it won't
You think you're so damn special
Let's see if entitlement gets you
The things that you want

You can't tell
How I shut it down so well
Sitting in a trashed hotel
We see you're only acting
Your empathy is lacking
I can't hear
You already lost my faith
You already lost my ears
They said that you were toxic
But now you're out of pocket

So I'll wait here for you
To realize your own lies
You're so high, you don't try

Hate on the way the wind blows
And see if it makes any difference
I promise it won't
You think you're fucking special
Let's see if entitlement gets you
The things that you want

Entitled

Taken from the four track 7", It's A Hit!, released on 12th July. Pre-order the white vinyl here - https://smarturl.it/ItsAHit7

It's A Hit! brings together four songs recorded by The Stroppies at home on their Tascam 4 track in mid 2017. Permeated by dystopian imagery of machines building machines and cats driving cars, It's a Hit! is perhaps the Stroppies most idiosyncratic release. Indeed, the title is a humorous nod to the inherent lo-fi quality of the recordings, a sound that some might not consider to be "radio friendly". Surley though, the songs contained herein are still unashamedly pop, albeit adorned in crackle and hiss. For reference think Alex Chilton's "Like Flies on Sherbert", early Swell Maps, and a touch of Loaded-era Velvet Underground shuffle. Originally released only in Australia via Hobbies Galore as a limited edition 7" in a hand stamped sleeve, the long sold-out EP is now being given an international release on the eve of the band's debut UK tour. Limited to 500 copies on white vinyl, and with a different sleeve to the first pressing.
