Mastering No Form 12″ on Muscle Horse Records.
“A boundary-pushing record from the North of England. Bathing in the murk, devoid of light, it invokes a dark atmosphere that has little to do with any gothic plod or metal pose. This is punk, as antagonistic and cleansing as it ever can be. NO FORM’s notorious live power is finally captured on this, their first record, with four shorter pulsating numbers on Side A and one long jam on Side B that approaches the outer limits. Shrill, disconcerting guitar leads and tormented vocals slither over an affirmative pummel that exists at the meeting point between outlier hardcore punk – SIEGE/UNITED MUTATION/GISM – and post-punk/proto-industrial at its most confrontational – SPK/CABARET VOLTAIRE/GOOD MISSIONARIES. Deceptively catchy thrashing coexists with sinister, siren-call sax that evokes THROBBING GRISTLE. This is music for the perennially despondent. Music for the subconscious, not the fashion conscious. This is music that could have been the soundtrack to the Blood Garden in JG Ballard’s ‘High Rise’. This is music as life ritual, to be listened to by all or none.” (Rob Tyers)

Mastering Shrapnel “Frenzied State” on Quality Control HQ.
“UKHC. Leeds’ finest sons burst out with a demo that showcased UKHC via Breakdown ’87 with English accents and proceeded to turn many heads. The new record goes down the route of Rest in Pieces, Leeway, Killing Time with the addition of Connor Hehir on second guitar. No doubt pits will be raged and conquered.”

Mastering Flemmings.
Taken from Vortexas:
“Danish old-school pop punkers partially based in London. Flemmings is a trio consisting of Nielsen on guitar and vocals along with two London friends. They deal in a sort of hypermelodic pop punk that hearkens back to the golden days of college rock. I get a distinctly Americanophile vibe quite different from what their South-London origin might suggest (but hey, Yuck hails from London as well and if there ever was a band sounding more American…) They’ve released an extremely affecting self-recorded cassette than be be bought on their bandcamp.”

“Two of the best france bands in a split ep. The Sioux sounds like a raw version of The Observers with female vocals and Dead Ramones sound post punk ala Belgrado”
