Three songs, seven minutes, seven inches of black plastic. That’s all that’s needed for you to work out that Colchester noisemakers La Muerte mean business. On this debut EP, the tough musical trio blend garage rock, punk with a touch of metal for extra punch and come out sounding like a cross between Misfits, Killing Joke and Limb – a combination of gritty noise that’s guaranteed to leave an impression…one way or another.

Sleep’s ‘Holy Mountain’ reissued on vinyl in March
Sleep’s 1992 release ‘Holy Mountain’ is to be reissued on vinyl in March. The classic stoner/doom release has become a fan favourite over the years, with original vinyl copies now very hard to find. A 220g vinyl reissue to tie in with the album’s tenth anniversary is similarly elusive.

GREASY HEARTS/SUN VOYAGER – Grease Voyage (split release)
2014 was a very busy year for Brooklyn-based garage rockers Greasy Hearts. At the start of the year, they turned up at fledgling lo-fi label King Pizza Records with their debut EP already recorded, which the label put out straight away. A few months later, they were back in the studio with the label’s in-house producer Seth Applebaum recording new material – the six resultant songs sharper, the performances capturing more fire than before. Gigs were played…lots of gigs; guitarist Joey Farber also played and recorded with his other band The Jeanies. Somehow, between everything else, the Greasy Hearts still found time to record three more tracks, released here as part of a split release with Sun Voyager for the first time.
