The time has come

...yet again when we have something new to send off out into the world.

This is just a quick heads up that at 12noon Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) we will be putting our new 7inch vinyl up online for sale. Go to our bandcamp page to grab yourself a copy


http://noanchor.bandcamp.com/




As you've probably already read below. We've made 100 on Blue vinyl and 150 on black vinyl. 


If you're in Brisbane then you can grab a copy personally from us at our launch at Woodland.


Thanks, Alex.

This is what 250 No Anchor 7inch records look like in one place at one time. 100 blue vinyl and 150 black vinyl.

Hopefully after next weekend they will no longer all be in the same place at the same time. We intend to put them up for sale online next Sunday (in Oz) sometime. Stay tuned as we set up the online store.

If you're in Brisbane then come to the launch next Saturday night and grab your copy!

7inch Launch

As the poster says. We're putting on a Brisbane launch for our latest release.

We're especially stoked to be joined by our good friends from melbourne Whitehorse.

The full line up includes:
...
Melbourne's WHITEHORSE (http://whitehorsedestroys.bandcamp.com/) are making a rare trip to Brisbane before embarking on another US tour. Described by Brooklyn Vegan (that's a popular weblog) as 'uber-brutal death-doom', WHITEHORSE slays it every time. Even WE find it oppressive. Enjoy! Your hand will ache from excessive claw-throwing!

QUIET STEPS (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Quiet-Steps) turn a bunch of stuff we like into songs. Can't exactly put our fingers on where they're getting it from but there's echoes of everything from slow core to Fugazi. Recommended. How could that not be recommended?

TINY SPIDERS (http://tinyspiders.bandcamp.com/) are Brisbane's best new band. And by 'new' I mean, populated by two people who have been slugging it out forever and have been helping No Anchor from the very start. That said, fuck all that. We booked them because they rock. And - full disclosure - because of Cam's hat in this film-clip: http://youtu.be/WRY2_zs5QLA

AND>>> DJ Swede Tooth plays dub and reggae between bands.

The 7inch we made but forgot to title

...so I guess it's a self-titled EP then?

Last year we released our album Real Pain Supernova, you might have heard of it (if you're reading this). It was nine songs in a bit over an hour. This year we've swung the pendulum all the way to the other extreme by releasing an EP consisting of four songs in eight minutes. From what I remember I think we recorded the whole thing in four hours, late one night. Keeping it tight people!

It goes a little something like this:

Side A
Rope
Pussy Footin'

Side B
Uninvited
Jordan, Minnesota (Big Black Cover)


Anyway, fast forward a few months and we have this wonderful little package for you all.

Now as you will see below, we were foolish enough to indulge in some coloured vinyl versions. We did the first 100 in RAD blue. Another 150 in BLEAK black. Aaahhh.... we're so nerdy at times.

So we decided to do two versions of the artwork. The top two photos are the front/back for the blue vinyl and the cover art below is for the front/back black vinyl. While you're reading this you can rest assure that Alex is happily at home cutting, folding and putting together the covers and indulging his love of being a perfectionist.
The biggest shout out need to go to our friend Dase in Melbourne. This is the first time No Anchor has gone outside the band to make the artwork for one of our releases. Dase did a terrific job of it and we encourage you to go check out more of his stuff  HERE.

This is all going to be released in a few weeks' time on 17th March. You will be able to buy it direct from our Bandcamp page HERE The black vinyl will make into independent stores around the country over the coming weeks too. We will also have a digital version of the Ep available on our Bandcamp page*.

*The Big Black cover will only exist on the vinyl. Not on the digital version of the release.
We have a Brisbane launch coming up details to follow.
