the kiss off - shake it up baby now (twist 'n' snarl) - jul 2012. originally recorded in 2009, the master tapes (a cd) were lost, first to booze, then to procrastination, then finally to early onset alzheimers. eventually after some light time traveling adventures containing mild peril, the audio was ready to be released, alas the world was not and we've never been the same again.

princess die - muckhouse - june 2012. princess die (pronounced princess die!) was a band formed as a birthday present, songs which barely break the 1.30 mark were written for each gig usually named after the venue or the bar staff. this really shouldn't have worked but unfortunately it's a great hardcore album.

the minions - everything all of the time - dec 2010. second long player from one of bolton's finest the minions. pigeonholed as ska-punk because they had a brass section and power chords there's so much more going on in this album. from the husker du and heart break of six chords to the john cooper clarke rant along of have you got a knife? via the existential dread of rakt. don't take my word for it, have a listen.
