NEW RECORDS FOR MAY - CYANIDE PILLS HOLLY & BILLY, THE COURETTES

Hi All,

I hope you enjoyed the brief summer we had on Wednesday, we’re up in the warehouse in Hull and it’s bloomin’ freezing!

Anyway, we have news of our new MAY releases plus a couple of album repressings as well.

First up is a really great double LP & CD of all of the singles released by CYANIDE PILLS

It’s called ‘Singled Out’ and it’s 33 tracks of pure Power Pop Punk Rock Perfection!

CYANIDE PILLS - RELEASE 1

SINGLED OUT - DAMGOOD648 - DOUBLE LP / CD / DIGITAL

On gatefold sleeve double colour vinyl (blueish & cherry red) or one shiny CD!

Thirty-three tracks! Rounding up all the band’s 7” single releases to date! That’s all their A and B-sides!

Includes two soon to be released singles, one which will appear as a free 7” with the next issue of SAFETY PIN MAGAZINE.

The other as a very limited-edition lathe cut 7”.

To excite/annoy completists there will be third (standard) 7” released at the same time, featuring an A and B-side that don’t appear here.

As you probably know Cyanide Pills released their first 7” single ‘Break It Up’ in 2009, following it up with a further 14 fab 45s, the most recent being a split single with Switzerland’s Nasty Rumours early last year. Most of these releases featured exclusive non-album B-sides which we’ve rounded up for Singled Out. Good to have them in one place innit! All tracks were recorded at the Billiard Room in Leeds with producer Carl “Razorblade” Rosamond.

“Influences? Hmm well, we don’t just listen to punk rock, neither did the early bands because there wasn’t any” said lead singer Phil speaking with Vive le Rock magazine in 2023. “We like the usual suspects obviously, our favourites are the Belgian band The Kids, X-Ray Spex and Buzzcocks. We like Satan’s Rats, The Tours, Knots, The Fingers, Panic, Kleenex, Crime, The Terrorways, Victims, Wipers, The Briefs, The Spits, The Plugz, Bad Nerves, Nasty Rumours, stuff like that, loads of stuff, Syd Barrett, The Kinks, MC5, Stooges, Bowie, Ruben and the Jets, Kim Fowley, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf. The list goes on and on and on."

CYANIDE PILLS - RELEASE 2

WHEN I’M WITH YOU - DAMGOOD651 - 7" / DIGITAL

Another new Cyanide Pills release which just to be difficult, they wanted to release at the same time as releasing their singles album, and yes, this limited 7” features two new tracks NOT featured on their new double LP/CD above!

WHEN I’M WITH YOU c/w NOTHING CHANGED

It’s a classic pills punky pop tune on the A side and a great sing-a-long b-side too.

There’s 300 of these so why not grab a copy with the singles album and you should be up to date.

CYANIDE PILLS - RELEASE 3

AMALIA - DAMGOOD652 - LATHE CUT 7" / DIGITAL

This single is a very limited, lathe cut 7” of another new single (that is actually on the album) called ‘Amalia’

and lastly!

CYANIDE PILLS - RELEASE 4

This single is 7” released with the next issue of the rather good Punk mag ‘SAFETY PIN’ https://www.safetypinmag.com/

SECOND BEST - DAMGOOD653 - 7" / DIGITAL

We will have limited copies of this one, with the magazine too…or you can always get a copy direct.

AND LASTLY from this lot...

We did a single back in 2018 for the 30th anniversary set of 7”ers and we had a bunch of extra singles with no sleeves so we’ve printed up some alternate sleeve for the remaining singles. Click on it to get a copy.
