centrifuge
Centrifuge are now defunct. They existed between the years of 2001 and
2007, played some gigs, released 2 ep's and a 7" and then fucked off.
They played noisy, loud songs and also the odd melodic one, getting compared to
such bands as Sonic Youth, The Pixies, Cave-In and At The Drive-In along the
way. Their final and posthumous release is our label's first, click here
to find out more about it. We also have the final few copies of their old
releases available in our shop.

here's to the atom bomb
We've known these boys since they were but teenagers and seen them grow into
the awesome unit that they are now. It's all built on a love for legendary
miserablists such as Joy Division, Tindersticks and The National with a closet
fascination for pedal noise like Mogwai and twinkly punk rock like American
Football all held together with amazing melodies. Completely confused by
what I've just wrote? Then you should be getting yourself a copy of their
debut EP to educate yourself.

herzoga
Herzoga don't mess about. They've been going barely a year and have
already released a split single on Organ Records of London. Consisting of
ex-members of Princess Headbutt and The Mittens, they play wrongpop in a similar
mould to legends such as Pavement and Wire with the added satire and clatter of
The Fall plus plenty of noise and feedback for good measure. We are here
to provide you with their excellent second single.

ox scapula
Ox Scapula formed as a bit of a noisy mess-about but ended up making an
awesome noisy mess. The idea was to create klangy, challenging guitar
music informed by the likes of Sonic Youth, Polvo, Unwound etc. They
finally finished their first recordings in February 2008 having already played
gigs with Kong, This Aint Vegas, Charlottefield & Spy Versus Spy and we
decided that they'd be starting off our WLD 7" series by thoroughly hurting
our ears.

m s thomason
When we first heard our mate Matt Thomason's
material, we were blown away. He recorded 9 amazing songs of subtlety and feeling, something we've not heard
from a singer/songwriter since the likes of Elliott Smith. We released
these on his debut album 'Under The Birch Tree.' Lots of gigs
later we are still in awe and proud to present his first slab of
vinyl. It'll be a 7" with 2 brand new songs and a DVD containing the
video to one of the songs.

truckdriver jnr
Truckdriver Jnr hail from the small town of Leek in Staffordshire and play
crushingly loud and fast Black Flag-esque rock n roll which wanders of into
dark, melodic, aching passages a little bit reminiscent of Slint. It's a
difficult one to pigeon hole, lets not waste any more time trying. Just
check out their new EP out on welikedanger now.
