Out On The Streets...





As the burning and looting continues on the streets of our countries capital, some of the ramifications of the last few days actions are starting to hit home. The SONY/PIAS warehouse in Enfield was burned to the ground, along with many independent labels entire stock (full list of labels here). Amongst them were finished copies of the forthcoming "Battle For Seattle" album of Nirvana covers by Little Roy (produced by Prince Fatty).


As a blog who serves up plenty of free music, we're urging all of our readers to support UK independent labels today and pre-order this releases digitally (as well as any others you fancy from the list above). Without income from such sales, many of these releases may physically not happen, as many small labels simply cannot bounce back from such a loss.


Big shout to everyone who has been affected by this mindless violence on the streets. We're not going to start a discussion here, but are hoping for a sense of calm to return soon.
