We’re delighted to have a new band in the Underused stable – Fever Dream have hooked up with us for 2012. We got in there just in time, as the Independent have them down as one of the bands of 2012. Hitting the ground running, we’ll have their single, “This Waste” coming out on all good digital outlets on 6 February 2012, followed by an album by the summer.

If you like noisy dreampop, wild guitars and stonking rhythms, you’re in for a treat.

And even better, there’s a single launch to go with it – Fever Dream, with Moustache of Insanity & Baanex, at The Others, Stoke Newington, London town, on Friday 3rd February. It would be a good idea to be there at the beginning… details here

STOP PRESS: first 20 through the doors will get a free download code for the single.. woohoo!

old news and new dawns

we were just packing up the shop for 2011, and discovered that orders placed had meant The Hillfields debut album, It’ll Never Be The Same Again, has now officially sold out – download only…

we’ve been a little quiet since the summer, when The Wyrd Interactions and Tiny Ruins & a Singer of Songs dropped a couple of delicious mini-albums into the world. We’ve been slowly sifting through some fine sounds, and will have a very special announcement to make in the new year about a new band joining Underused Records. They are fantastic, and your ears will be in for a brilliant treat in early 2012…

best wishes from us for the season and the coming year
