SuperFi Records is a record label and therefore releases records. Here is what will hopefully be out before the year is out.
SCREEN WIVES - Women In Love LP ART OF BURNING WATER - Living Is For Giving, Dying Is For Getting LP PIG HEART TRANSPLANT - For Mass Consumption LP KIND EYES - It's OK, It's Not OK LP CROWS - Better Off Dead LP THE DAY MAN LOST / SUFFERINFUCK - Split 7"
Screen Wives is a totally sweet trio that make highly awkward and noisy post-hardcore stuff that is just shot through with the most amazingly catchy riffing that makes it flow while it stumbles about everywhere.
Art Of Burning Water have been going longer than your mum and "Living..." is album #5, so consider it our "Nothingface", "Through Silver In Blood" or "End Of The Century", or 20 mins of fast noise-rock.
Pig Heart Transplant is Jon from Iron Lung's noise project. With ever-shifting lineups and collaborations, this second album is 28 tracks each of which are approximately 45 seconds long whose cumulative effect will cave your head in.
Kind Eyes are another UK band, this time a guitar and drums duo making a beautifully strange and superb kind of discordant emo hardcore. Think Shotmaker, Tiny Hawks and Unwound, but with their own spin on things.
Crows are from Ireland's always fertile scene. A friend of mine said that the singer moshed through a wall when he saw them play, and that is all the recommendation I need. Seriously though, this is chunky, burly, smart, innately catchy hardcore punk.
The Day Man Lost and Sufferinfuck are two excellent fast bands from the UK. Both are thrash bordering on grind, with a real message behind the noise. Excellent people, excellent riffs.
A lot of these are co-releases with labels like De Graanrepubliek, Riot Season, City 17, Boslevan, At War With False Noise and more. They are all good people.
ISOLATION TANK / ART OF BURNING WATER - Split 7" out now!
Isolation Tank is a duo that make that powerviolence stuff but are head and shoulders above a lot of the generic, jokey slop being churned out at the moment. Jack and Sam actually utilise discernible, catchy riffs and lots of cool time changes that keep it interesting. Think Hatred Surge and Iron Lung.
Art Of Burning Water continue their mission to annoy all and sundry with their slightly faster take on their usual off-kilter noise-rock with definite hardcore leanings, like a sped up Keelhaul partying with Motorhead. Three short ones from them also.
This is limited to 250 or so with hand stamped labels and a wraparound sleeve.
Well, it's a particularly bad moment in human history, so what better time to announce the release of the Beg self-titled LP? Originally released last year as a limited CD by Hygiene Records out of the USA, this is finally out on vinyl.
Beg is a trio making intense grind metal of the very best kind. It's hard not to mention the "supergroup" thing What with Smith from The Afternoon Gentlemen on drums and Grief from Art Of Burning Water playing guitar, but I'm going to.
Those two bands are great reference points as it's twisted and complicated whilst still being furiously fast and heavy, bringing to mind both the old and new skools of grind. Beg show it's possible to make angry music without being bone-headed, and make complex music without losing the humanity.
This is limited to 250 or so on the blackest of black vinyl with screened sleeves.
Following up their "Kingmaker" LP, the UK's Pine Barrens continue making their own take on black metallish hardcore rage which is hard to classify, but think Rorschach and Botch and you'll be close. Grinding Halt from the Netherlands unleash a longer track which combines everything they do so well, mixing all the good stuff from hardcore, punk, sludge and metal with some high pitched vocals on top. Got copies on clear and black and it has great artwork by Marald too. Wholesale and trade enquiries welcome!

In 2014, the best punk scene in the world is in London, England, and the best band out of that scene is Good Throb. KY Ellie and the gang rage through eleven of the most acerbic punk rock cuts to be conceived in modern time, brimming over with true-life vitriol and the means to carry it out. Imagine the murderous passion of The Feederz clenched in the fists of Kleenex with a scratched-up Erase Errata picture disc jammed in a Vomit Visions sleeve and you're close to Good Throb, although there is no way to hypothesize Good Throb without truly bearing witness. Following two stunning 7" EPs, Good Throb annihilate the LP format with more tunes about moronic men, systemic misery and the many ways in which they can both get fucked. Rather than be the one to say it, I'll go ahead and wait until you hear 'Fuck Off' and consequently pronounce it the album of the year.

These two relatively youthful UK bands give me hope for the future of this little isle's scene. Sky:Lark! are a power trio making a healthy post-hardcore racket, like Shotmaker, Fugazi, Karp and the like. Heavy, twisty, weird song structures and riffing, all topped off with layers of angst. Meadows combine the slow with the fast to create a riffstorm of hardcore-tinged stoner rock that is catchy, heavy and very good for you. Hand screened covers, hand stamped labels, the works!

Iron Lung / The Process - Split 7"
I'm totally honoured to be putting out the third pressing of this classic split.
This originally came out in 2007 when the two bands did a UK tour together.
It then got remastered and repressed when The Process popped over across the pond last year.
Now Iron Lung are coming back here in a couple of weeks and The Process are joining them for three of the gigs.
Sadly this is going to be the latter's last gasp, but they are working on a third album which will no doubt rule.
Those Iron Lung tourdates look like this:
14/11/13 - Groningen (NL) @ Lepel w/ Suffering Quota, The Daydream Fit
15/11/13 - Amsterdam (NL) @ OCCII w/ Grinding Halt, Blood I Bleed

23/11/13 - Edinburgh @ Opium w/ The Process, The Day Man Lost
Sky:Lark! / Meadows - Split 7"
These two relatively youthful UK bands give me hope for the future of this little isle's scene.
Sky:Lark! are a power trio making a healthy post-hardcore racket, like Shotmaker, Fugazi, Karp and the like. Heavy, twisty, weird song structures and riffing, all topped off with layers of angst.
Meadows combine the slow with the fast to create a riffstorm of hardcore-tinged stoner rock that is catchy, heavy and very good for you.
That should be done around mid-December, we had some trouble finding a place to press it.
Hark - Mythopoeia 7" repress
The Welsh progressive-power-sludge trio carry Taint's torch forward, passed on from their legacy that began in 1994. With fresh chops and almighty riff power, Hark continue to fuse punk attack with Sabbathian dirge, and decorate post-whatever angularities with classic rock flourish. They are doing some Euro gigs at the end of November so we are repressing the debut 7" as their first album on Season Of Mist is still in the works. This repress will look drastically different but equally awesome, being on orange vinyl with an acetate sleeve.
Those dates looks like this:
27/11/13 - Le Havre (FR) @ Tetris
28/11/13 - Besancon (FR) @ Passengers Du Zinc
29/11/13 - Oberentfelden (CH) @ Borom Pom Pom
30/11/13 - Jena (DE) @ Rosenkeller
04/12/13 - Swansea @ The Garage
12/04/14 - Roadburn Festival (NL)
Beg - s/t LP
This is so excellent and I can't wait to unleash this on the unsuspecting public. Totally intense grind metal featuring members of The Afternoon Gentlemen and Art of Burning Water, and if you try and imagine a mix of those two then you should be somewhere close. A tribute to the new and old skools. Should be out very early in 2014, if we're all alive by then.
Art Of Burning Water have a new 7" out called The Humiliation Process.
It's not a SuperFi release but we do have a bunch available.

"Kingmaker" is the debut album from Pine Barrens, following on from a very well-received demo that came out in 2010.
Pine Barrens efficiently fuse hardcore punk to black metal, among other things, to create an intense and surprisingly catchy experience.
For those that care, the band features current and ex-members of Beecher, Atavist, Extinction of Mankind, The Ergon Carousel and Hammers.
This was a real collaborative effort with the following labels, please consider buying from them too.
Those in Europe might do better buying from Art For Blind who are based in Ireland. Art For Blind Moshtache Parade Of Spectres Slow Riot
Pine Barrens LP looks set to be ready for sale tomorrow or at the weekend!

"This Disgrace" is totally ready to roll. "Love You Dead" should have the proper sleeves done by the weekend.
You could therefore say that the fourth album is out before the third, but please don't.
Saturday 12th January at The Urban Bar in London will be the "official" launch gig for these. Got Brighton the following Thursday. Come on down!
Well, 2012 was agreeably strange, here's hoping 2013 will be just as interesting!
This year we squeezed out a bunch of seven inches which was a bit easier on the wallet and didn't take up too much room.
Was an absolute honour to "work" with Grace, Good Throb, Hark, Hot Graves, Tide Of Iron and Whitehorse.
Here's what's 2013 has in store for us (probably):
Art Of Burning Water - Love You Dead LP Art Of Burning Water - This Disgrace LP
Not one but two albums will be unleashed on vinyl. These are the band's third and fourth albums.
SuperFi and Swarm Of Nails are co-releasing these, with Riot Season also helping out with "This Disgrace".
The winter tour was great fun, we got treated like kings and I think we played well.
Hark - Mythopoeia CDR
It looks like the 7" is sold out from the band and the labels, so we'll be making a CDR version for their upcoming gigs.
There will a couple of live tracks from a recent French radio session in addition to the two existing tracks.
Executive Distraction Tasks - Finished With Grind CDR
A super limited DIY release became even more limited when my share got lost in the mail.
I'll be getting the materials together soon to make a short second run available.
You can get a digital version over at Grindcore Karaoke here.
Pine Barrens / Wode - split 7" Pine Barrens - Kingmaker LP
Pine Barrens and Wode are from the Manchester area and make black-metal influenced hardcore punk that I cannot get enough of.
PB's album will also see the light of day. A big bunch of great UK labels are making that happen.
Artwork is in progress for both of these, and the songs need a bit more mastering work as far as I know.
Beg - s/t CS
This is some vicious and smart grindcore that bridges the old and new skools.
Somewhat of a supergroup, with Geith from AoBW, Smith from Afternoon Gents and Ed from At A Crawl / T.I.T.T..
This should make it to vinyl at some point too.
Lupins 12"
These guys are a totally killer power-trio from London in the classic noise-rock vein, with an emphasis on the rock there.
We were going to do a 7" with them but the songs have turned out quite long so we'll see how that goes.
Skylark / Meadows - split 7"
The UK scene is great right now, epitomised by these two youngish bands teaming up for this split.
SL make noisy, abrasive post-hardcore in a Shotmaker style while Meadows bow down to the altars of sludge and powerviolence, sometimes at the same time.
Pretty sure this is still on the cards but I don't think the songs have been written or recorded so it's a way off.

and we have a bunch of shirts (Despise You, Moss, Noothgrush) too.
I think that'll do for now. Thanks for your continued support!
Good Throb 7" is very basically nearly totally done! Just got to stamp and fold stuff, but order away!
Check out the sleeves, with sicko art by singer Ellie and meaningful collage by bassist Ash.
Art Of Burning Water went to Ireland last week and it was tiring but wonderful. Thank you Ireland.
Listen to Wolfbait, we played with them twice and they were amazing. Tape on Art For Blind imminently.
See the gigs page for the rest of the tour dates around England and Wales.
Tour version of "Love You Dead" will be available, and "This Disgrace" may well be too.
We have a gap in our tour on December 7th. Might be filled pretty soon, but if anyone can help, let me know.
Sadly City Dweller have called it a day, so the 7" we were helping out with isn't happening.
Listen to what could have been: I Will Become Unique
The Good Wife, the sporadically active but always sleazily brilliant Southampton band also seem to have kicked the bucket.
Not sure what will happen to their LP recording but hopefully something from it sees the light of day.

I am back in the UK finally! Just trying (and semi-failing) to catch up with things.
Listen to some bits from upcoming releases in the meantime!
After The Last Sky are breaking up soon sadly.
We did an LP with them back in the day. R.I.P. brothers.

Hello from Madagascar! I am here with work for all of September and some of October.

Ex. Taint frontman Jimbob Isaac returns with his new unit Hark. Their debut seven inch 'Mythopoeia' is released on July 30th, through the Destructure/SuperFi labels.
The Welsh progressive-power-sludge trio carry Taint's torch forward, passed on from their legacy that began in 1994.
With fresh chops and almighty riff power, Hark continue to fuse punk attack with Sabbathian dirge, and decorate post-whatever angularities with classic rock flourish.
While Isaac's vocals expand on his tried and tested palette, his lyrics continue to shatter prose with bleak metaphor and acerbic spittle.
Former Whyteleaf rhythm section Nikolai Ribnikov and Simon Bonwick, the Hark engine, bring an OCD approach to song craft, and endlessly creative pummel.
Their dynamic chops, and blood lust for riffs meld with Isaac's honed and equally determined musical vision.
'Mythopoeia' is strictly limited to 300 copies. Each sleeve is lovingly hand screened, and numbered by Jimbob, who is also the creator of the suitably crushing artwork.
With plans for recording their debut full length at the end of the year, Hark will be making every effort in 2013 to make a mark as slab-like as their logo.
Listen to the two tracks here and see more info at the release page. I will have inserts by the weekend and will be sending out orders then.
Redid the website a little bit. Whitehorse / Hot Graves 7" out now. Hark 7" out soon. Art Of Burning Water - Love You Dead LP out soon after that.
More in-depth content coming soon.
