Neglected...Abused...

I'm sure that's how our blog feels. Apologies if anyone actually reads this but over here at Holy Roar, records just don't make themselves, and that doesn't leave a lot of time for blogs.

So we may have failed to mention that we are putting out a Gallows 7" last time, although rather than talking about that you can just look at our site and check it all out there. We're currently doing a deal of our three next releases for £13ppd. It's basically ridiculous how cheap it is and if we were Primark someone would be investigating slave labour or something...

In other news we are currently booking the Phoenix Bodies UK tour which is taking place 15-22 June this year. It'll be with the super Ed Gein, and our new poster boys (really) Chronicles will be also doing most, if not all, of the dates. The tour dates should be finalised soon.

With regards to the Gallows 7", they are on the cover of this week's kerrang and this is pretty scary.

In other HR success stories, Rolo Tomassi have been played on Radio 1 not once but twice in one night, on the Rock Show and Steve Lamacq's show. Which is quite mad, considering. Phoenix Bodies have also been played on the Rock Show. Gallows basically live there also. We have taken over broadcasting house.

Generally things are so busy because of the pre-orders although tonight I (Ellen, that is) am interviewing Justin Broadrick for ZT, which will be nice. It'll be around half 7 so I wonder if he'll be having his dinner then, and if so what. Also we're heading up to Brum in a couple of weeks for the Flatpack Festival gig thing, more info is probably over at capsule.org.uk. We'll have our distro and whatnot. On the subject of the distro I magically deleted the entire list, code and everything, so I'm spending my time at work making it into a much more user-friendly table with pictures and everything.

Alex has got mad shit going on with CPWK which goes beyond just going out for Japanese food. They're playing a slew of gigs all over the place, including a really really nice show in London with Trencher and Rolo Tomassi on Sunday 11th Feb. Another date for your diary is Saturday 17th Feb as RT will be playing a drowned in sound afternoon gig thing that we will also be dj-ing at.

Right so maybe I might start doing this regularly...
