Free Bombed Out Compilation

A People's History of Bombed Out Records.
Here it is then - the compilation I've been tweeting about for about a year! Finally available as a free download either via our shop site or on the Bombed Out bandcamp page. If you just want to listen to the whole thing it's also streaming on our site.
18 songs by the 18 (well 17... news on the other band soon...) bands that we've considered "Bombed Out Bands" since we kicked off the label way back in the summer of 1998 with that first Joe Ninety 7".
This record essentially took 13 years to make, this is what we've built towards since the day we thought it'd be a pretty cool idea to release a 7" record by some of our friends. 13 years of investment of our time, money, blood, sweat and (yep) tears. Some of the bands have since passed on but what they left behind was often glorious and we remain to continue to bask in that glory. So there.
Thanks to Lee Ford and Paul Heys for the artwork, and Scott Stewert (Brocolli/Hard Skin) for the extra mastering and audio tweaks. Please download and enjoy.
In other label news... The new album by The Dauntless Elite is now out, the 2nd Homebrew album is currently being pressed, a new Saturday's Kids 7" is being lined up for release in January and the next New Year/New Start is shaping up nicely and will be on the 28th January. Expect more news soon...
