Gallops CDEP and shirt now up for preorder!  The debut EP by Gallops is now up for preorder with a pretty astrological t-shirt if you so fancy. This is a co-release with Blood and Biscuits who have their own variety of shirt, here . A bit of a curveball for Holy Roar - this is a band that join together electronica, math-rock and pop to form something entirely their own within our fair isles. 'Miami Spider' is up for free download straight away here Everyone who preorders will also get sent free remixes by Three Trapped Tigers and Rolo Tomassi at some point prior to release date. Watch out for a bunch of shows and festivals from the band too!

New band on Holy Roar - BLACK MASS  We're gonna be about as blunt on this as we've ever been. We know very little about Black Mass. Via some messageboard or other we heard a demo of Black Mass recorded in a basement. It sounded like shit but showed incredible promise. We pretty much told them this. They came back to us a few months later with a bunch of recordings done by Jason Sanderson (Rolo Tomassi, Antares, We'll Die Smiling etc). These recordings are amazing. It appears the band are doing a split 7" on about 32964 labels with Guillotines and Kasa. They will also, most importantly of course, be doing an EP on Holy Roar. 4 tracks of Entombed-meets-The Power and the Glory. Think Trap Them, Cursed, Napalm Death - all things crusty, filthy, grindy. This EP should be out within a couple of months! More news, a new song etc coming very soon!

New Throats shirt and Guilty Parents ep in on distro!  First up - we made a new Throats shirt to celebrate their tour (with Lavotchkin in tow) which starts tomorrow! Check the gigs section for all dates. Printed on Gildan Ringspun Soft Style (a high quality soft shirt) - this looks awesome - with black photoprint and silver border and font! Only 50 made, and Throatsofgold members get this as part of their package.  Secondly - we have got our hands on some copies of the Guilty Parents ep. Released by Danger Lazer Phaser Razor Records. Looks amazing. Sloppy rock'n'punk. Available now in the shop!

Young Legionnaire - Colossus/Iron Dream 7" Preorder  The debut release from Young Legionnaire. This band is made up of Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party), Paul Mullen (The Automatic/ex-Yourcodenameis:milo) and William Bowerman (Brontide, La Roux, ex-Iwasacubscout). You could almost say this is our first ever 'supergroup' release of sorts. Except that this sounds nothing like any of the members previous work - this is detuned, subtly technical stoner indie. It's fucking heavy and loud but catchy and tuneful. Available for preorder now. Instant mp3 download when ordering (follow onscreen instructions). 100 copies on black vinyl, 200 on creamy yellow and 200 on semi-transparent brown. Get on it. We don't expect this one to be around forever!

Jackals T-shirts now in stock  We got a very limited number of Jackals shirts in. 7" artwork on a shirt - white print on a Gildan Heavy shirt. Punx. You can pick them up on their own or in a cheapo bundle with the 7"! Hit up the Holy Roar store for these! 
[7 Jun 2010]
Holy State CDEP + Trash Talk 'Shame' LP!   New distro items available from Holy Roar. It’s not just random shit - we’ve released these bands in the past and these releases are fucking genuinely awesome! 1. Holy State - new cdep and cdep+tote bag deals! Cheers to Dance To The Radio for hooking us up! We only have 10 of the totes so get on that! Ships for July 12th. 2. Trash Talk - Shame LP - heavyweight vinyl, poster insert. Collecting together all releases up until the new album. We have one box of these! Available in our store NOW. 
[2 Jun 2010]
Lonwolves - 'A True Discourse' Preorder up!  Now up for preorder! 4 song cdep. Lonewolves display a fluidity that nods to the tones of Earth, Pelican, Old Man Gloom and Year of No Light whilst grasping the full throttle rock of Coliseum and The Hope Conspiracy. An epic, energetic beast. 1. Hollow (exclusive to cd version) // 2. Shadows and Dust // 3. Death March // 4. Deity Displaying a new-found confidence and (whisper it) maturity from the band, this record loses none of the bands energy or intensity, whilst exploring far more subtle tones, restraint and vivid colours. CD comes in white card DVD packaging (photos soon!). 5 different colour vinyl-effect cds. Multiple orders will receive multiple colours, up to all 5 colours. 20 copies on each colour. Limited to 100 copies. 
[20 May 2010]
Throats - USA presing of the self-titled ep  We got in one small box of the USA pressing of the Throats EP we released back in February. This was released in the USA by Twelve Gauge Records. Completely new art courtesy of Holly Lucas and maybe a bonus track too! Watch out for other new Throats stuff soon! We are also mega happy to announce that the band are playing SONISPHERE on Friday July 30th! COUP!

ROLO TOMASSI - COSMOLOGY  We are stupidly happy to announce that we are co-releasing the vinyl of the new album by Rolo Tomassi - 'Cosmology'. Limited to 100 copies from us in a gatefold sleeve, this features different artwork to the cd version, and comes on translucent blue vinyl with solid grey and white speckles. Produced by Diplo, we genuinely believe this is the bands best material yet. It harks back to pre-ep material whilst also displaying a ridiculous amount of progression and heightened technicality. Starting off as an OTT-tech monster and ending on psychadelic space-rock trips. this is an epic journey of a record. All pressing information can be found on the releases page or in the store. Get on this. It wont around for long!  |
