Now then, some new bit’s an pieces up for grabs, here’s the blurb.
I know I said they’d be up for sale at 8pm, but I’ve been doing loads of home improvement work round our house today so I’m knackered and fell asleep in the tub, got my book wet and everything. You know how it is.
here’s the bullshit:
Born Annoying.
Shore Style Straight Edge. Former members of Get Real and Ensign just doing the damn thing. Legit hardcore that reminds me in equal measure of Cro-Mags, B’last and Floorpunch. For fans of stage dives, thrashing, moshing and fucking about with your mates. Experience the ultimate.
This is a run of 200 hand stamped and numbered tapes, with the first 73 on blue cassettes.
(Recorded by Steinkopf from Bouncing Souls!!!)
Anguish.
Hessian hardcore metal from the grim city of Leeds. Anguish deal in skullfucking riffs and harsh mocking vocals, that have earned them comparisons with the likes of Iron Age and War Hungry. Epic build-ups that pile drive into massive breakdowns. This is no contrived moshcore/knucklehead bullshit, Anguish operate on a primal level that stirs the beast within. Obey your instincts and bang your fucking head.
This is a run of 150 green tapes. All hand stamped and numbered and comes with a patch featuring the cover artwork.
(Recorded by Boulty from Nottingham!)
Anguish tapes/shirts on sale tonight.
Can’t be arsed waiting til tomorrow so we’re putting up the Anguish and Born Annoying tapes around 8pm. Liam and the lads have made some sweet shirts too and they will have a limited bundle available from the Anguish Head Shop
You nod out, you lose out!!
Dusting off my promoters hat (also known as my Money Losing Bonnet) for a H13 showcase at the end of April in a boozer in Leeds. Details as they become confrmed but it’ll probably be Grace/End Reign/Anguish and Harrowed. Working on the new H13 box sets & samplers for this event too…stay tuned.
I thought it might be fun to introduce the buying public to some of the fascinating characters behind the music H13 is releasing.
First up is Tyburns political firebrand vocalist, John Olley.
Formerly known as Fat John, many of you will be familiar with Mr Olley from his stirling work with independent skateboarding company, Iron Column.
In this rare picture we’ve managed to capture John with his guard down. Relaxing at home with a mug of Horlicks vegan substitute and enjoying a musical trip down memory lane. What’s he listening to? Smart money says it’s the Face Up 7”.
Debut vinyl for release for this vile outfit.
Cease To Exist take the violent aural barrage of bands like Gehenna or Sangraal and add a filthy Black Metal Influence that is fierce and unrelenting in its assault.
A band that will treat you with the contempt you undoubtedly deserve.
This is a split release with the mighty Feast Of Tentacles Records.
We have 135 stamped and numbered copies of this record.
****All on Black vinyl****
This is a Pre-order. Records will ship 24th Feb

I’m beyond stoked to announce that Grace from the North East of England will be releasing a new record on H13 in the very near future.
For the unfamiliar, Grace draw influence from the same well of seething vitriol that fueled classic bands like Deadguy and Coalesce. Last years demo gave us a taste of what these gentleman were capable of but the new material is a violent descent into the realm of truly psychotic sounds.
Bellicose,metallic hardcore that somehow manages to be both progressive and primitive in equal measure. Full release details will be announced soon but for now here’s “Sorrow” to whet your appetite….spread the pestilence, reblog!
Tyburn hail from London and will be a releasing a new split 7” with Moat (ex Frightener/Abandon Ship) on Hemlock 13 in the not too distant future.
Counting former members of UKHC stalwarts xCanaanx and HHH among their number, these two new songs demonstrate a vicious evolution from their earlier demo.
Tyburn channel the righteous disgust and visceral spirit of bands like Left For Dead, Earthmover and Haymaker. This is seething metallic hardcore like your cooler, older brother was in to. If you can remember when bands had more songs than merch designs, and shirts ONLY came in XL…this is for you.
Reblog and spread the pestilence….
Final Rage - Tombstone demo.
Margate Hardcore. This tape sold out super quick so I’m making the songs available to you here in modern mp3 magic.
FR have some shows coming up over next weekend in Sheffield, London and Brighton. If you are a young man or woman who acts tough on the dancefloor and pretends to know the words when someone covers Breakdown, then please head down to the gig and check out the real deal. Final Rage and their flamboyant frontman Jamie “Jamie” Frye will introduce you to Margate Style, The Northdown Road Mosh and the whacky world of Roman Electricity. Ever wondered why your dads knob is a different shade of brown? Final Rage have all the answers. DEMO HERE
