Here's what's coming up in SuperFi land.
Iron Lung / The Process - Split 7"
I'm totally honoured to be putting out the third pressing of this classic split. This originally came out in 2007 when the two bands did a UK tour together. It then got remastered and repressed when The Process popped over across the pond last year. Now Iron Lung are coming back here in a couple of weeks and The Process are joining them for three of the gigs. Sadly this is going to be the latter's last gasp, but they are working on a third album which will no doubt rule.
Those Iron Lung tourdates look like this:
14/11/13 - Groningen (NL) @ Lepel
15/11/13 - Amsterdam (NL) @ OCCII
16/11/13 - London @ Bradfield Youth Club w/ The Process
17/11/13 - Canterbury @ West Track Studios
18/11/13 - Bristol @ The Bank
19/11/13 - Nottingham @ Chameleon
20/11/13 - Preston @ The Mad Ferret
21/11/13 - Leeds @ Temple Of Boom
22/11/13 - Aberdeen @ The Tunnels w/ The Process
23/11/13 - Edinburgh @ Opium w/ The Process
Sky:Lark! / Meadows - Split 7"
These two relatively youthful UK bands give me hope for the future of this little isle's scene. Sky:Lark! are a power trio making a healthy post-hardcore racket, like Shotmaker, Fugazi, Karp and the like. Heavy, twisty, weird song structures and riffing, all topped off with layers of angst. Meadows combine the slow with the fast to create a riffstorm of hardcore-tinged stoner rock that is catchy, heavy and very good for you. That should be done around mid-December, we had some trouble finding a place to press it.
Hark - Mythopoeia 7" repress
The Welsh progressive-power-sludge trio carry Taint's torch forward, passed on from their legacy that began in 1994. With fresh chops and almighty riff power, Hark continue to fuse punk attack with Sabbathian dirge, and decorate post-whatever angularities with classic rock flourish. They are doing some Euro gigs at the end of November so we are repressing the debut 7" as their first album on Season Of Mist is still in the works. This repress will look drastically different but equally awesome, being on orange vinyl with an acetate sleeve.
Those dates looks like this:
27/11/13 - Le Havre (FR) @ Tetris
28/11/13 - Besancon (FR) @ Passengers Du Zinc
29/11/13 - Oberentfelden (CH) @ Borom Pom Pom
30/11/13 - Jena (DE) @ Rosenkeller
04/12/13 - Swansea @ The Garage
12/04/14 - Roadburn Festival (NL)
Beg - s/t LP
This is so excellent and I can't wait to unleash this on the unsuspecting public. Totally intense grind metal featuring members of The Afternoon Gentlemen and Art of Burning Water, and if you try and imagine a mix of those two then you should be somewhere close. A tribute to the new and old skools. Should be out very early in 2014, if we're all alive by then.
And there will be more (probably).
