New mid price collection of all PARKWAY DRIVES tour EP's compiled here for the first time
PARKWAY DRIVE is a rural road located in the Australian countryside. This sparse lane dotted with spare houses and spitting distance from the crystal blue waters of Byron Bay has something dark bubbling away, unbeknownst to most a quintet of young men have crafted the sound of Australian angst, charged with melodic guitar flourishes that dip into punishing breakdowns, double kick, kung-fu drumming, thick rhythms and technical precision that delve across the genres of metal, hardcore and death. Brought about with the intention of playing a type of music that blends the intricate riffs and melodies of metal, with the conviction, emotion and breakdowns of hardcore, in the summer of 2003 PARKWAY DRIVE the band, was born. With a massive sound that encompasses Swe-death riffs, punishing breakdowns, thick rhythms, mayhem inducing blastbeats and a technical precision that borders on frightening, PARKWAY DRIVE transcend cliché labels like metal core with ease. Killing With A Smile entered the Australian Independent charts as the # 2 release on and went on to be Australia’s highest selling extreme music release to date. The combined success of the album and the band’s amazing live performances saw them opening up for every notable American artist on tour in Australia including Bleeding Through, Alexisonfire, Shadows Fall, Every Time I Die, As I Lay Dying, Hatebreed and Evergreen Terrace as well as appearing at the Gold Coast Big Day Out festival. PARKWAY DRIVE are the standard-bearers for Australia’s new wave of extreme music and have led the charge of building the Australian hardcore scene into what it is today. PARKWAY DRIVE are the standard-bearers for Australia’s new wave of extreme music. Let the madness begin.

HELL IS FOR HEROES new album out now!
After a two year break since their last release ‘Transmit Disrupt’, HELL IS FOR HEROES went back in the studio to record their eponymous follow up, an album of brooding and powerful rock. From the hypnotic wall of guitars of “To Die For” to anthemic, pulsing distortion of first single “You’ve Got Hopes”, from the sweeping vocals of “Once And For All” to the simple ballsy groove of “Hand’s Up!”, this is an album showcasing a band at their very best and most intense, full of driving rhythm sections and intricate guitar lines overlaid with powerful melodies.

NECK sign to Golf Records
"Bringing Irish Punk past The Pogues…at last, a worthy contender for the Celtic punk crown is born!" - Irish Voice, NYC

London-Irish band NECK's irrepressible 'Psycho-Ceilídh' sound has matured over six years of furious global gigging.  The 6-piece band juxtaposes, perfectly, the swirling, spiritual abandon of Traditional Irish music  featuring fiddle, whistle, banjo and Irish (Uilleann) bag-pipes, with the rip-roaring, electric energy of a full-on Punk band.   This is all topped-off with the raucous, passionate vocals of song-smith Leeson O'Keeffe - a man with an undeniable pedigree - formerly of Shane MacGowan's Popes, guest banjo-player with The Alabama 3, from the same Irish enclave of North London (County Holloway!) that spawned Johnny Rotten and with family roots in the same Dublin neighbourhood as Flogging Molly's Dave King.

NECK's up-lifting, rowdy live show has careered across the UK & Ireland and Europe hitting festival audiences square between the ears and raising new fans with every support slot they have played.  Festival appearances have included Glastonbury (3 times), Beautiful Days, Wasted (twice), the West Belfast Feile an Phobail and the Ardoyne Fleadh in Belfast, Skagen in Denmark, Punk'n'Disorderly in Berlin and With Full Force in Germany. NECK have supported or toured with: Stiff Little Fingers, The Undertones, Shane MacGowan & The Popes, Levellers, Real McKenzies, Misfits, Dubliners, Black 47, and their US 'IRISH PUNK' contemporaries The Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.

NECK have had both radio-play and played live radio sessions, and appeared performing two songs in the Belfast set motion picture "With or Without You".   Such is the esteem for the band in the US, that Boston's Irish punk radio station/web-zine/compilation album that revels in all things emerald and loud is named for the Neck tune "Shite'n'Onions".  

Make no mistake - with their roots, understanding & command of the music, NECK are most certainly the real deal when it comes to proper Irish Folk-fuelled Punk!
