Today we are delighted to announce details of the new EP from the ever prolific, irresistibly charming and admirably talented Gorgeous Bully.

For those who haven’t been with us an awfully long time, Gorgeous Bully (the moniker of musician Thomas Crang) has been a mainstay of the AIH family. Whilst based in Cornwall he first cropped up on AIH05 (a compilation of bands from the SW). He then moved to Plymouth and January 2012 saw us releasing his debut EP 'The Young Obese'. Fast forward to November 2013 and with a 7" EP under his belt, Thomas is now based in Manchester.

Whereas earlier material saw Thomas playing everything himself, 'Nobody Hates You As Much As You Hate Yourself' marks the first outing from Gorgeous Bully as a full band. Having spent the last 12 months playing up and down the country with the likes of Joanna Gruesome, Cymbals and Throwing Up some recorded output from the full band was long overdue.

The addition of a full band has certainly aided Thomas's ability to craft self aware, self inflicted ditties. Across the EP's further four tracks, expect a celebration of misery, loneliness and self-loathing, perfectly molded into three minute grungey pop songs that celebrate the freedom of not doing what is expected of you

2012's Gorgeous Bully EP was released in a cigarette style package that sold out on pre-order alone, for 'NHYAMAYHY' we have tried to come up with something just as visually appealing. The EP is set to be released on February 17th on cassette, in a hand-stamped box that contains a lyric sheet, badges, a bottle opener/lighter, a download code for an MP3 version as well as a further secret EP.

If you would prefer just to have the MP3 version then you can purchase it from our Bandcamp and receive a download of the full EP straight away ahead of the February 17th release date.

Gorgeous Bully - Sinking Feeling

As a special Christmas treat to ourselves, we commisioned the creator of one of favourite EP's of the year to craft us a song of seasonal magnitude. Along with the help from a couple of his friends, Bristol based Ellis Jones (also known as Trust Fund) has created something truly spectacular. Although you'll hear no outpourings of love for Christmas's past, the song still seems to carry a feeling of warmth, goodwill and a smattering of sleigh bells. Despite the rather ambiguos start, by the time the trumpets and trombones gently float in, you know you're in for a triumphant final two minutes.

This is the final part of our 2013 singles club - The Postcard Club. As it's Christmas we swapped the postcard for a Christmas Card and got 100 printed, there's only a couple left and you can grab them from our shop - http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/products/508709-the-aih-postcard-club
