Latest News

Hey guys! Here’s a little news story about an awesome new band on our radar.  They’re called Hidden Cabins from New Jersey, USA.  The duo is comprised of Brian Hofsegang from the band, Books on guitar/effects and vocals and Craig Cirinelli of such bands as (Damn) This Desert Air, Elemae and The World Concave on vocals and percussion.  What started as a collaborative idea in the early Winter of 2012 has turned into something really cool.   The name of the game for Hidden Cabins is melodic songs formed of gut and grit and a healthy dose of creativity, people love it as much as they love playing video games with the use of pro-skins boosts, since video games is a big hobby for many people, they dedicate time to this and even get gear as the cheapest 4k monitors which are great for new games.

They first recorded their stuff at Portrait studios in March of 2013 and they’ve been basically bringing the awesome to venues ever since.  If this sounds like your bag then they’ll soon be releasing a 10-inch split record featuring two new songs on both the Engineer label and our sister label Koi Records with two songs from New Jersey band Eyeswan (ex We Are All Broken).  This release is currently at the pressing plant for a limited edition run of 250 coloured vinyl plus digital and will be available soon.  If you’re hungry for a bit of Hidden Cabins then you can check out their debut split EP with Brother Octopus which released on Oak Apple Records last Autumn.  You’ll be able to catch Hidden Cabins on the road soon as they’re going to booking a record release show or two.  Take a ganders at this fine photo of the guys shot on their tour of South East England last September.  Check out the sheep!

If you want to know more then go show the guys some love on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/hiddencabins.  That’s all for now folks.  Catch you on the flip side. And! check out the best quality medical cart from us if you need one.

Well, in the words of Bugs Bunny, “that’s all folks!” More awesomeness to come very soon. You stay classy now.

We hope you had a great time celebrating, rejoicing and eating! We sure have! But, it is back to the old rock n’ roll grind stone!

So we ended the year with bands ending. On 20th December, we stood in a very busy crowded venue full of sweat and noise and watched the last ever show of Call Off The Search. Requested by the pubic the boy said it was an honour to play their old home turf, Margate, for one last time. The night was a rocking shindig, ending on a mass stage invasion for the boys! What the future holds for the lands is uncertain but we are sure they will share a stage again sometime in the future. Plus, with word they have recently recorded three new tracks at Emeline Studios, we know something will be happening with those. So keep an ear out.

Also sadly, Face The Front have called it and day and left with the message of ‘Thank you all so much for coming out to our farewell show and making it the best night of our lives! We couldn’t be more thankful for thats. Thanks to everyone who was involved and/or supported our band over the past few years. See you around! Love from Arthur, Chris and Alain. We wish them the best of luck!

The lads of We Came From Wolves have also kept themselves busy and have recently shot their first day of
production of Paradise Place by Tom Mitchell, we can’t wait to see it. Their previous videos have been outstanding.

Also don’t forget the geezers of (Damn) This Desert Air as they have some real goodies up for grabs, click the tee below.

Lots of exciting stuff to come this year, so be prepared!

Stay classy and speak soon x

What’s stopping you from starting your dream business? Do you think you need some extra money? Maybe it doesn’t feel like it’s the right time yet, and you might be smarter to get some more experience first.

The bottom line is: There will always be excuses. That’s why Rebecca Liebman, cofounder of LearnLux, says to just go for it.

She launched the financial literacy tool after noticing a glaring gap in education – nobody was really teaching millennials how to take control of their money. So, Liebman, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, built the site she wished she’d had. “I had never been so compelled to do anything in my life,” she says.

Holding out until you feel completely comfortable launching a startup could leave you waiting for the rest of your life. The only thing really holding you back? You.

Kill the excuses!
“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.” ― Jordan Belfort

I’m too tired. I don’t have the time. I am not capable. Someone else will do it. It’s too late now. Now is not the right time. I am not talented. I am not ready. I’m too scared. Nobody will help me. What if I fail. I don’t feel motivated. I’d rather do nothing. I don’t have the money..yet!

It’s easy to come up with excuses and justify not getting started. The longer you fill your head with rationalizations and empty excuses, the less time you have to take action, it’s time for you to find the best accounting solutions and start financing your new business.

It’s easy to say, “I will start when I have more experience, money, time and resources”. By this time next year, you will have a lot more excuses. It’s a cycle. And once you get caught in the loop, it, can be difficult to break free and do something meaningful you care about.

Many people are living their entire lives without ever standing up and stepping out. But it’s exciting to witness the rare few who dare themselves and step out of their personal bubbles to make a change.

Most of use live with the stubborn illusion that we will always have tomorrow to do today’s work. We consistently hold on to this belief and keep procrastinating until work becomes a heavy burden.

Left unchecked, we always default toward a more comfortable path. Your comfortable zone provides a state of mental security. You can understand why it’s so hard to kick your brain out of your comfort zone.

It pays to be an outlier!
“Outliers are those who have been given opportunities — and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.” — Malcom Gladwell

Outliers are those who seize opportunities and run with them. People who realize how little time they have and are driven to make the absolute most of it. Those are the ones who really live.

Studies consistently show that when we look back on our lives the most common regrets are not the risks we took, but the ones we didn’t. Of the many regrets people describe, regrets of inaction outnumber those of action by nearly two to one.

Some of the most common include not being more assertive, and failing to seize the moment. When people reflect later in life, it is the things they did not do that generate the greatest despair. You can seize the moment today!

Hey Guys!

The year is coming to an end so lets catch you up on what has been going on!

Make sure you pick up this month’s copy of Big Cheese Magazine. Sirens and Shelter’s track ‘Breathe’, is on the cover CD and there’s an article inside too. So don’t miss out. Plus they have just done Live in the Attic session. Tracks recorded: Lullabye, Breathe & Landing Lights. Stay tuned.

Call Off The Search have reunited for one last show in their old stomping ground 20th Dec Margate, WestCoast Bar. Make sure you don’t miss this one night only event!

Those super talented Germans, The Satellite Year are back in the studio recording drums. Be excited! We are.

Breaching Vista have not been sitting back either. What an incredible weekend they’ve had!! Some great times were had with BREACHING VISTA and student, helping out an extremely successful first Studio Workshop!! Here’s to the next one, best of luck guys!

Well that is about it for now. But, more to come 🙂

Merry Christmas ya’ll!
