APRIL 2025

Calling all Scums,
 
The fun truly never stops... we're back once again with another heavy-hitter...
 
Brand new...
 

NFTR339 BIRD FIST 'THIS ONE'S FOR THE BIRDS' LP
Mysterious new female-fronted Oi! / punk band that have smashed the scene with this blinding ten track debut that captures that traditional late 70s / early 80s English sound seemingly out of nowhere. The one thing we know is that it features a member of Oil! / Scunthorpe Yobs... any of the songs on this album could have featured on Hard Skin's 'Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear'. For fans of Hard Skin, Vice Squad, The Partisans, The Ejected, Infa Riot, The Opressed and 4 Skins. GET IT HERE.

Still hot:

 

​NFTR340 EEL MEN 'STOP IT! DO SOMETHING' LP
In London’s diverse music scene, a new band has emerged that doesn’t fit neatly into any genre: the Eel Men.  On their debut full-length they use the classic vocabulary of British rock music but create something fresh and immediately enjoyable that sounds polished and DIY at the same time, carefully arranged but still drawn from punk around the edges reflecting a commitment to a sound that defies easy classification.
​
The ten tracks pulse with authenticity, exuding a rugged charm that makes this record stand out. The drums are tight and drive the rhythm forward  while the angular guitars shift and weave, adding layers of texture throughout. There’s a laid-back energy, but there’s also an undeniable groove, creating an addictive rhythm with a definite artistic flair delivering an infectious, collective punch that stays with you after the record has stopped spinning.

​

With its raw spirit and an ear for intricacy, 'Stop It! Do Something' showcases Eel Men’s knack for combining thoughtfulness with a fierce, rebellious edge as they skilfully balance punk rawness with a melodic flair. FFO: The Jam, Wire, Straight Arrows, Buzzcocks, Total Control, Nots. GET IT HERE.
