Your 2019 Playback

Pre Order Cassette Package: http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/products/521377-gorgeous-bully-nobody-hates-you-as-much-as-you-hate-yourself

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.

If You Knew

a new-found flu in animals we never knew were so ill. 
a politician's finger's itchin' to press the button, 
to press the big red button. 

opening windows is closing my doors. 

stopped for directions, then dissected. 
wanna get home on time, and they wanna see my insides. 
i left for work to forward jokes, never thinking bout airplanes, 
never once thinking bout airplanes. 

send this to ten friends and you'll be fine. 
one more clove to keep out the vampires. 

the inbox is empty, i'm sick of waiting around for this message. 
another flash on the screen, another pinch from the dream, 
a reminder to just keep living. 

hey plug, don't wait, your juice is draining. 
there's no outlet for you remaining. 

sick with a virus, and the bug has got me pious. 
i feel it all shutting down, so i look to the clouds, 
maybe they'll remember who i was. 

hey plug, don't wait, your juice is draining. 
there's no outlet for you remaining. 

i'm slamming on the keys 
finding out about diseases 
i never knew that i had. 
minimizing all my lives 
when the screens have turned to blinds for the 
tab 
tab 
tab 
tab 
tab, i can't pay, pay it back, i said! 

>> this moment you are in is the oldest you have been. you'll always feel your age if you're waiting for the end. never mind it, it'll find you, so just keep go go going.

(devi) 
ive always been a burden 
tripping out & hurting 
its always been a circus 
caged animals and all 

the nightmare's reoccurring 
ive never been that girly 
ive never been a person 
ive never had a soul 

its all ready 
its all ready to go 

if u can dream u can be 
if u can dream u can be anything 
if u can dream u just get further away from everything you ever wanted 

(rook) 
i know u dont believe it hurts 

(rook+devi) 
that saying im in pain makes it worse 

(rook) 
i know u think that all i need 

(rook+devi) 
is just to think positively 

(rook) 
BUT IT FUCKING HURTS!!!!!!! 

(devi) 
ive never had a purpose 
im too weak for working 
sitting in a dollhouse 
an ugly worn out doll 

all these years of searching 
all these years of lurking 
all these years of worthlessness 
really take their toll 

its all ready 
its all ready to go 

if u can dream u can be 
if u can dream u can be anything 
if u can dream u just get further away from everything you wanted 

(rook) 
i know u dont believe it hurts 

(rook+devi) 
that saying im in pain makes it worse 

(rook) 
i know u think that all i need 

(rook+devi) 
is just to think positively 
this is something you'll never understand 
this is something you'll never understand 
this is something you'll never understand 
you'll never know what its like

Here is the second track from the forthcoming LP

The Thermals - Desperate Ground
Street Date - April 16, 2013
CD/LP/Digital

Pre-order here: saddle-creek.com/store/artist/thethermals/

The Thermals are pleased to announce they have signed to Saddle Creek, a label the band has known and admired for many years. The Thermals and Saddle Creek have a long history of sleeping on floors together: The Thermals have toured with Cursive and Ladyfinger, and Hutch and Kathy organized the first Bright Eyes show in Portland way back in 1999.

The Thermals are a post-pop-punk trio from pre-Portlandia-Portland, Oregon. The band formed in 2002 and has since released five records and toured fifteen countries. The Thermals' sixth LP and debut for Saddle Creek, Desperate Ground will be released April 16 and is available now for pre-order at the Saddle Creek Online Store. The album was produced by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth) in Hoboken, NJ. Agnello and The Thermals completed the record and evacuated the studio just hours before Hurricane Sandy ravaged New Jersey, a fate quite fitting when you consider the product. Desperate Ground is a true scrappy and scratchy return-to-form for The Thermals, with all the raw power and unhinged adolescent energy that made their early LP's so insanely enjoyable. Lyrically, Desperate Ground is a brash and irresponsible ode to human violence, a black celebration of the inevitability of war and death. A dark and yet joyous affair, Desperate Ground tells the (murky) tale of a lone rogue in the night. One man, one path, one sword. An unceasing urge to destroy. A never-ending battle against the forces of nature. A destiny impossible to avoid.

The Thermals are Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster and Westin Glass.
