HELLO
We're still here! Just haven't updated the news in a while. Sorry.
We joined MySpace. Please feel free to add us: www.myspace.com/superfirecords
And we're always at www.superfirecords.co.uk too.

ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS
In the works is a discography CD of all the stuff the band put out during "the Stu years". He has since moved on to play in Rainy Day F*ck Parade, with new guy Craig stepping in on bass to replace him.
This CD won't be done for a while, though it's hoped that it'll be done in time for their two-week European jaunt with the amazing German band Perth Express.
The songs will be from:
+ the self-titled one-sided 7"
+ the split 10" with Jinn
+ the split 7" with Taint
Plus there will be a bonus CD-ROM section with cool live footage.
The band recently played Ireland for the first time with Burning The Prospect in tow, and have a new split 7" with fellow Nottingham thrashers Kamikazee on Feast Of Tentacles Records.

ART OF BURNING WATER
Their new CD album is here! These guys rule. A London-based power trio, fusing technical hardcore with furious metal with whacked-out stoner, and then cranking it up to super-speed, these guys throw the Melvins, Keelhaul, Zeni Geva, Craw and massive songtitles into a densely heavy, speedy brew unlike anything else. The artwork was done by a guy from the band American Heritage, and it's a split release with the band's own House Of Stairs label.

DE NOVISSIMIS / TUNGUSKA
Here we have a couple of great Irish bands that will be sharing a 7" sometime soon. De Novissimis feature members of the now very sadly defunct band Serpents and do a sort of blackened doom thing. Their recent demo, which we also have in stock is a two-song, 30-minute piece of genius, but luckily they've managed to squeeze out a song short enough to fit on a 7".
Tunguska feature members of Easpa Measa and the Polish band Silence, and do an excellent mix of bands like Envy and Tragedy. A real wall of sound, heavy, fast and angry as hell, but still melodic with it.
This will be a split release with the Irish labels Rimbaud and Treehouse Of Horror Records. De Novissimis and fellow excellent Irish band Slomatics will be heading to the UK in early August, so please let us know if you'd be interested in putting them on.

THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE
The Endless Blockade should be out on the road right now with Iron Lung. Their CD/LP "Turn Illness Into A Weapon" is still very much available from us and numerous distros worldwide. The band has an excellent new 7" out on Dada Drumming and I Deal Records, and a repress of their split LP with Warzone Womyn is still forthcoming.

GEISHA
The "Mondo Dell'Orrore" CD is out now! These guys also rule. Bristol's own legends of true noise-rock scream forth with their first album of vein-bulging grungey hardcore crossed with bloated Merzbow-esque noise-outs.
This is a split release with fellow local outfit Blood Red Sounds. For those Stateside, this has been released over there by the amazing label Crucial Blast Records, so order this from them if you're there.

FLATLANDS / SUNSHINE REPUBLIC
The classic slab of grey vinyl with these two young UK bands is still about if you want one. They both do the whole doomy thing, though with very different approaches - Flatlands are about the big slamming riffs, SR are into the subtle build-up with crushing payoff.
Flatlands just completed a week of gigs with Welsh loons The Death Of Her Money in June, and fun was had by all apparently. They have a CD coming out soon on Sound Devastation Records, more details as they emerge. Similarly, SR is looking to head out again some time soon with Brenda and also have new releases in mind.

LINE
In the works is a CDEP by the Bristol / Cardiff / Swansea-based band Line. Sharing members with the long-running Soeza, Line produce a hypnotic and melodic brand of mainly instrumental indie (Kraut)rocking action. A short tour will hopefully occur around the time of release (t.b.a.), which will be great given the rarity of Line live appearances.

--------------------------------------
NARWHAL
We just helped put out a three-song 7" by this relatively new (although some of them are old hands at this emo lark) band from London town. Hectic, heartfelt riff-based screaming hardcore that bashes one minute and caresses the next, with the feel of those great mid-90's bands to the fore.

SNOWBLOOD
Snowblood has been on a wee hiatus whilst members have been away, but they're all back now and ready to roll.
They are planning to gig during a couple of weekends in July and August, as well as a full two-week European tour in September. Please get in touch if you'd like to help out with any of that!
Their second album "Being And Becoming" is still available on CD and 2xLP. Their debut "The Human Tragedy" is nearly gone from us. Head to their website to download an mp3 of "Tragic Fragment" which was recorded for the Radio 1 John Peel Burns Night Special.

TAINT
Taint's first album, "The Ruin Of Nova Roma", is finally out on vinyl! Double vinyl in fact, encased in a gatefold sleeve. We also have a bunch of the CD version if you want to get that instead.

TRACTOR
This is the band I drum for. Imagine Unsane, Melvins, Godflesh, (older) Helmet, The Jesus Lizard, Shellac and other old Amphetamine Reptile bands, and you'll be some way towards what we sound like. We recorded a four song demo which you can get for a small amount of cash, so let us know if you want one.

OTHER RECORDS THAT WE'RE INVOLVED WITH (THAT I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO WRITE TOO MUCH ABOUT)
DEAD SEA FUCKING SCROLLS / VALHALLA PACIFISTS - split 7"
This is definitely still happening, just trying to iron out artwork issues and then it's good to go. DSFS just added a new bass player and have another split 7" with the amazing Hangover Heartattack coming real soon.
NARCOSIS - Romance LP
The CD has blown everyone who has heard it away. I've not been the driving force behind getting the vinyl version done but hopefully I am still involved. Will keep you posted.
RED RIGHT HAND - They Chanted... LP
Still no idea when the hell this is happening. The CD version on Dry Run was meant to have come out literally years ago, and now it seems that there's an issue with having a vinyl version floating about too, even in a very limited edition. More news soon?
RAMMER - Cancer LP
Still very much up for doing this totally amazing metal album on vinyl, just not been in touch with the band for a while.
JINN - ?
Myself and this legendary UK band are definitely up for doing something together, we just don't know what yet, but we'll keep you posted.
MOSS / ? - split 7"
This was going to be a Moss / Serpents split 7", but the latter band sadly broke up before committing their track (which was quite old by that stage anyway) to tape, so the search is on for another band. There is one likely candidate, but it's all still being sorted out so can't confirm anything just yet.
And there's even more coming.
