FEBRUARY 2015

The next batch of Punkhouse releases is now on its way to the pressing plant. Lead time for vinyl these days means that release date is expected to be late-April but look out for 3 new packages:

TIDY 8 - The Venom album. Already certified gold, this is going to be a superdeluxe package - the definitive Venom record

TIDY 11 - The Noise/Venom double-header picture sleeve 7"

TIDY 4 re-press - The Tunnelrunners "100 MPH" EP in all-new packaging

Check in for more details and pre-order info next month

JANUARY 2015

Uber Rock review of the year-end gig that saw the original Autonomes run through their album, supporting the Vibes at The Garage.

The Venom had to pull out due to unforseen circumstances but they will surely be back this year, and a new Punkhouse release will be announced imminently.

Meanwhile, the Punkhouse Autonomes album has now sold out. If demand continues the way it has been, a re-press may well be in order later in 2015.

DECEMBER 2014

Released on 8th December, "Millions Like Us" is a 4 CD set from Cherry Red Records that chronicles the 'Mod Revival' scene over the period 1977-89. Amongst the 100 tracks within are 2 from the Punkhouse archives - both of which feature nicely in the 48-page booklet.

Available for about 30p per track from all good record shops, or here

NOVEMBER 2014

TIDY4: The Tunnelrunners "100 MPH" is now sold out from Punkhouse Record Shop. If you are desperate for the first white vinyl edition you're going to need to go the Discogs, e-bay, record fair route. A re-press is under consideration for early 2015. This would correct the 2 errors on the first edition: miss-spelling Graham's name; and neglecting to include the Producer credit for Andrew Reader - but would be a noticeably different pressing in order to maintain the uniqueness of the original

The latest Punkhouse release project - the first PHR 12" - is in the final design stages, with some exciting news due next month

In the meantime, the November edition of the Audio Ammunition online magazine contains reviews of the first batch of Punkhouse releases. Thanks a lot AA

SEPTEMBER 2014

The explosion of vinyl releases from record labels old and new is making it harder for a small label to get a limited pressing run. There are only so many vinyl pressing plants in the world and they've all got a long waiting-list.

But the cogs are still turning in the background and Punkhouse is lining up some interesting new projects for the 'Autumn/Winter collection'.....
