"This is a love song, along the lines of some of the ballads we used to do in the Milkshakes - inspired by Arthur Alexander.

Recent stuff...

And don't forget the four new releases that came out last week... check out this handy YouTube clip or scroll down more further details and links.

The Galileo 7 - There Is Only Now (LP/CD)

Brand new album from Medway's finest psych-beat combo!

Heritage can be a harsh mistress. Ex-This, formerly of That. Past acclaim – particularly when it’s attached to some of the most visceral and elemental rock ’n’ roll of one’s generation – can become both a help and a hindrance; impossible to shake off but crucial to continued acceptance in the fickle world of pop music. Not that this is any concern of The Galileo 7 of course. As the title of their sixth album proudly proclaims, There Is Only Now, and this record is nothing if not Now!

Graham Day & The Forefathers - Good Things (LP/CD)

Expanded reissue of their 2014 album!

On CD and limited edition WHITE vinyl!

Graham Day – vocals, guitar Allan Crockford – bass, vocals Wolf Howard – drums

Re-issue of the 2014 ‘almost live’ collection of greatest hits and misses from more than thirty years of the Graham Day songbook - with three extra tracks. Out of print since 2015.

Graham Day & The Gaolers - Just A Little (7")

It’s a brand new limited edition 7” from Graham Day & The Gaolers!

Last December to celebrate 30 years of Damaged Goods Records, Graham Day & The Gaolers got together after an eight year lay-off to play at the Lexington in Islington. Taking advantage of a rare visit to the UK from drummer Dan Eletxro, they took to Rochester’s Ranscombe studio and bashed out the two new tracks that make up this fabulous 7” single. This will be the Gaolers’ first new release in 11 years, and both songs are full of the typical soulful tunes played with no-frills energy and passion that you would expect from the trio. It’s as if they’ve never been away!

The Shadracks - Tranquil Salvation (7")

It’s a brand new 7” EP fromThe Shadracks! Limited edition of 300 copies! (100 red, 200 black)

As a man of not so noble birth walked briskly down Victoria Street, Rochester he heard the distant rumbling of a beat bass lick, the crash and bang of tin cans, and a whirring of fuzz overtones. ‘Aye,’ he mused ‘must be the hustle and bustle of thy youthful Shadracks!’ And indeed he was right.

And here you have it: three blistering tracks of Babylonian Beat Music: 'Tranquil Salvation', 'Count to Ten' and a live favorite - Dead Moons' 'Walking on my Grave'. All played with expert precision on a hip EP for fans of sophisticated rock ‘n’ roll and other rubbish.
