Tottenham and Enfield
Its been a hard few days...after the burning out of our post office on Tottenham High Road, such an important hub for our local community and where we've done our mail order from for years, the Sony/ PIAS warehouse in Enfield was destroyed by fire, along with much of our stock.
Fortunately we haven't been totally wiped out, you can still buy some physical products from us, we also have everything available digitally in our shop, many of our limited editions are now (sadly) much rarer than before.
There have been nearly 200 labels affected, many of them friends, below is the official list published by PIAS:
http://www.pias.com/uk/pias-distributed-labels-list/
Thank you so much to everyone who's sent their love and support and thanks especially to PIAS who have been working hard and fast to sort this out for all of us.

JEFF The Brotherhood- We Are The Champions
We are happy to announce we will be releasing JEFF The Brotherhood 'We Are The Champions' in the UK, following on from their brilliant 'Heavy Days' earlier in the year.
The Nashville brothers, Jake and Jamin, reach new lows of drawling sweetness and fuzz punk-pop blow outs on this self produced album, recorded by Roger Moutenot ( Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Velvet Underground) and with fans from Jack White, making them album of the month on Third Man and Jay-Z tweeting combined with their relenteless 230 shows a year touring schedule we’re thinking their UK/EU tour should be fun.
The brothers grew up, Jake says, "with 500 acres of nothing behind us," and the isolation has paid off. This band sound like a fusion of everything and completely their own.
Release date: 26th Sept
Pre-order here
Tour dates TBA...
Directed by Lina Plioplyte (www.teenagepeanut.com)
"their songs are often just a couple of chords and high speed. But the brothers have acid on the brain, stirring harmonized distortion and sitar buzz into the boogie. And they back up the balls of this album title...... "Mellow Out" is fast bliss."ROLLING STONE
"Their pared-down arrangements and bluesy riffs recall AC/DC's Young brothers and their fun-loving zeal is akin to honorary bros the Ramones. But the secret weapon on their second album is an unironic embrace of the elegant, harmony-rich hooks and wide-eyed lyrics of rock forebears the Righteous Brothers, which gives the Orralls' blistering tunes their own earnest, romantic edge."SPIN
'Big and heavy but still quick on its feet....The tune's aw-shucks silliness is as charming as its earworm of a melody is inescapable.' PITCHFORK
"the sweet spot between punk and hard rock." SPIN

New My Sad Captains Video and free download
Go to My Sad Captains website for the free download of 'The Homefront Pt II'
My Sad Captains return to the fray with a new song available as a free download in conjunction with Saatchi Online and featuring exclusive new artwork by the band.
The dreamy kraut-folk of the ‘The Homefront Pt II’ eschews the more traditional, pop song structures of their debut album, gradually building as sounds and melodies weave in and out of an uninterrupted, motorik groove. The band decamped to an isolated barn in Cornwall to record the new material, which was mixed by Tape Op magazine founder Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, Stephen Malkmus, Quasi) at Jackpot! in Portland, OR.
The artwork is by MSC guitarist Nick Goss, who is a painter and previously exhibited in ‘Newspeak’ at the Saatchi Gallery. The band will host an evening of live performances at the Saatchi Gallery later this summer, as part of an ongoing series of gigs in art spaces. Having previously played at the Josh Lilley Gallery, the band will play ‘Primitive Accumulation’ at the Fold Gallery in London Fields on May 30th, a show curated by Captains bassist Dan Davis that also features Goss. They will also perform at the opening of Richard T Walker’s show at Spike Island, Bristol in July.
The song is now released digitally after initially only being available on ‘Stolen 6’, our Record Store Day compilation.

PATP 'Come To The Bar' out now/ BBC6 live session tonight
'Come To The Bar', the first single from Pete And The Pirates new album 'One Thousand Pictures' is officially out today! To mark the occasion they're doing a live session tonight with Marc Riley on BBC6, tune in at 7pm...
You can purchase 'Come To The Bar' from the Stolen Shop or iTunes, 7Digital, amazon etc.
Heres some reviews:
Sunday Times 'The hottest downloads'
'The Reading band return with a slice of quirky synth-led minimalism'
The Guardian Guide
'Singer Tom Sanders's vocals are loaded with charm- no America accent for him, you can practically smell the Thames on every word- the music is intricately surreal, while the song itself is a winning celebration of booze-based time wasting. Cheers.'
Time Out
If Pete And The Pirates 'Come On Feet' and 'Knots' didn't put a fizz back in your veins, theres a good chance that you're not mortal. Here the Reading band revive their ruffled, warm-hearted indie pop with a fibulator-like touch, applying Toytown synths to a song that sounds like late '70s Bowie playing the Barfly. The B-side is just as good.
Artrocker 4 stars
'On evidence Pete And The Pirates in 2011 are in pretty good shape, raising the curtain with Devo-style robocool then repeating the hugely catchy chorus until it swirls down the plughole in a wave of psychedelia. Welcome back, me hearties!'
Zane Lowe's 'hottest record' BBC1 (19th January)

Heavy Days Sunday Times review
18 Jan 2011
Pete And The pirates first single off new album
PATP's release their first new single from their Brendan Lynch produced second album ‘Come to the Bar’ released on March 14th.Pete and the Pirates return in 2011 with their Brendan Lynch produced sophomore LP, the follow up to 2008’s critically acclaimed debut, ‘Little Death’. The first single from the album, ‘Come to the Bar’ will be released as a digital download from March 14th on Stolen Recordings.
With vintage synth lines bubbling under Motorik rhythms and a trademark soaring chorus, ‘Come to the Bar’ captures the sound of a band seamlessly moving up through the weight divisions – packing a greater punch, but losing none of the stream lined hooks and innate melodicism that defined their debut.
The band preview new material at upcoming headline London shows at The Lexington, and an “HMV Next Big Thing” gig at The Garage.
Live:
Thursday 20th January - The Lexington, London
Friday February 4th – The Garage, London (“HMV Next Big Thing” gig)
Further details on the new album will be announced shortly.

My Sad Captains Free download and video
Taken from their debut album 'Here and Elsewhere'"a melodic indie-pop classic in the making" Rough Trade Album Club
Filtered through a hazy
gauze of fuzzy samples and rolling drums, 'You Talk All Night'
is a shuffling folk song that pits the past against the present and
finds time to dwell on them both.
The video was made in a
barn in Cornwall whilst filming footage of MSC guitarist and artist
Nick Goss for a Saatchi New Sensations 3 Minute wonder for
Channel 4.
Go here to

http://mysadcaptains.bandcamp.
My Sad Captains will
perform at the Tan Hill Festival curated by British Sea Power
on 1 May
and at the Josh Lilley Gallery in central London on 11 May.

LET'S WRESTLE DROWNED IN SOUNDS SINGLE OF THE WEEK
Let's Wrestle – 'I'm In Fighting Mode' (Stolen)
"I always win," states Let's Wrestle
frontman (and genuinely brilliant lyricist) WPG here, and anyone who's
been charmed by the London trio in recent months would find it hard to
argue otherwise – scrappy, rough-edged, utterly charming and wholly
beguiling, Let's Wrestle are three kids making the absolute most of a
relative modicum of musical know-how. "I'll sing the songs of truth… I'll teach YOU a lesson"… and if that's the case any hater had better not mess with the threesome, as their signature track 'Let's Wrestle' features on the flip: "Let's wrestle… let's FUCKING wrestle…"
is the sing-along, prior to violent nonsense about biting off mouths
and fingers and noses. Get my t-shirt off and get in the mud? Sure
thing.- Mike Diver

We're doing a digital single with Minisnap from New Zealand
Minisnap features the songwriting skills of Kaye Woodward (vocals, guitar) along with fellow members of ‘The Bats’ Paul Kean (bass, guitar) and Malcolm Grant (drums) plus Marcus Winstanley from The Undercurrents on guitar.
The Single ‘New Broom’ is a perfect piece of pop, everything that’s great about Flying Nun, full of light and air and brilliantly catchy. We love this song, and think more people should hear it. So we’re helping out by putting their new album ‘Bounce Around’ featuring the single ‘New Broom’ in the shops... We hope you like it too.
Minisnap are paying a flying visit to the UK and will play at The Windmill on Friday 26th April.
