[News][Releases][Store][Visual][Audio][Tours][Misc][Contact][Trade][Links] June 30th, 2008 Not had time to update the news page for a while, but here we are with two new records to tell you about! End The Agony's debut 7", entitled "From The Lungs" is out!!! End The Agony recently added a bassist to their ranks, but on this release they're a duo, bringing truly pained, cathartic, dirging noise-rock in a Noothgrush or Unsane style. This Brighton band features members that used to play in Cat On Form. Listen to "Plain And Simple" [here]. Listen on myspace [here]. This 7" is a split release with the band, [Opiate] and [Tadpole] Records. After The Last Sky's LP, entitled "And This Is Progress?" is also out!!! After The Last Sky are the UK's blackcore pioneers on this epic five track LP. Totally black metal inspired grind with epic doom and sludge parts! Genuinely raging music. Listen to "Land Of Rape And Gluttony" [here]. Listen on myspace [here]. This LP is a split release with a whole bunch of labels: [6am7am], [Blastwork], [Circus Of The Macabre], [Crucificados Pelo Sistema], [Right To Refuse] and [Zaraza Productions]. February 27th, 2008 The Death Of Her Money's "Spirit Of The Stairwell" CD is out!!! The Death Of Her Money may not have a great name, but they do have a great sound. The trio from South Wales blend an appreciation for modern, heavy music together with an experimental edge to create a swirling, hypnotic maelstrom of repetitive, naturally grooving stoner-rock, kind of like Neurosis meets My Bloody Valentine meets Sonic Youth meets Can. The simplistic, rock-solid rhythmic base provides a launchpad for Kaskie's inventive, dense, discordant fretwork. "Spirit Of The Stairwell" is their debut CD album, with six tracks in 50 minutes, and follows on from self-released demos and a 7". Listen to "Scandinavian Accent" [here]. Listen on myspace [here]. This CD is a split release with the band's own Suntreader label and [Rat Patrol] Records. February 12th, 2008 The Taint - Secrets And Lies 2xLP is out!!! Listen to opening track "Hex Breaker" [here]. Head over to the [store] to buy it. There's a package deal on if you want to buy "Secrets And Lies" along with the first 2xLP "The Ruin Of Nova Roma"! January 9th, 2008 Hi there! 2008 is already upon us, and in typical SuperFi tradition, a bunch of things are coming out more or less at the same time, so here's a rundown as to what's coming your way. TAINT - Secrets And Lies 2xLP First up will be the second album from the UK's premier stoner-hardcore fusion power-trio. The CD version has been out for a few months on [Rise Above], and we'll be doing the double vinyl version, hopefully in time for their gigs at the end of January, when they'll be supporting Baroness and Kylesa at various points on their tour. They're also doing some headlining gigs in February. Listen to "Hex Breaker" from the new album on their myspace [page]. LINE - They Took Great Proud In Their Work CDEP Line's recent EP is getting a re-release since the first attempt came out so shoddily. Blame the pressing plant. We'll be sticking it out again as soon as possible, and it'll look better this time round. Those that bought it the first time will be getting a free copy of the new one when it's out. Check them out [here]. THE DEATH OF HER MONEY - Spirit Of The Stairwell CD Next up is the truly epic debut CD album from these hypnotic Welsh Krautrocking doomsters. That should be out in time for their February tour with fellow countrymen [Johnny Mental], and is a split release with [Rat Patrol] and the band's own Suntreader label. Check them out at [myspace], and let them know if you can help them with sorting the gaps in their tour out. SNOWBLOOD - third CD/2xLP After that will be Snowblood's long-awaited, untitled third album. This one is a real monster, with four songs spanning over an hour, so it's another double vinyl release for us, with a possible CD version to accompany that. Glyn of [Scrawled] Design is handling the art, so it'll definitely look the business. Once again Lawgiver Records will be helping put this thing out. GEISHA - Verbrechen Der Liebe The second album from Bristol's own noise-rockers is awaiting release. Following in their fine tradition of locked-down beats and grooves, swathed in even more swirling noise and effects thanks to the addition of second guitarist Pete. We're working out what format this will come out on, but one idea looks to be an LP with an accompanying digital download for those with mp3 players. SuperFi joins the 21st Century! Crucial Blast should be handling the stateside release of this one. END THE AGONY - From The Lungs 7" This Brighton-based, ex-Cat On Form guitar and drums duo (they've recently added a bassist to the line-up incidentally) make a seriously cathartic type of hardcore dirge punk. Think Swans, Dystopia and so on. This one will be a split release with Opiate, Tadpole and the band themselves. Can't wait. MOSS 7" This has been in the works forever. Formerly planned to be a split release with Serpents, who promptly broke up, Disclose were up next, but Kawakami-san's untimely demise put an end to that plan. Now it looks like it'll be Moss on both sides, using shorter tracks of their trademark primordially extreme doom sludge from both of their album sessions! Several other labels are involved on this one too, and we'll keep you posted. AFTER THE LAST SKY LP This bunch from the UK make an excellent racket that mashes up metal, hardcore, grind and everything in between to construct really memorable and exciting songs. Tons of labels are in on this, and it promises to be a good one. The blackcore revolution starts [here]! TRACTOR - Cattle CDR This is the band I drum for. Imagine Unsane, Melvins, old Helmet, Swans, Butthole Surfers and all that kind of shit. We recorded at the same [place] "Dopethrone" was done! Let us know if you want a copy, as it'll be free. It'll also be given away with any orders received. Website's [here]. After that? We shall see. Probably a nice long lie-down. There's a bunch of older SuperFi stuff still available, though some only in limited amounts, so act quick! ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS - Life Is Cheap CD (available) ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS - Discography CD (few left) ART OF BURNING WATER - The Voyage CD (available) BIBLICAL PROOF OF UFO'S - s/t CD (few left) DE NOVISSIMIS / TUNGUSKA - split 7" (few left) THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE - Turn Illness Into A Weapon LP (available) FLATLANDS / SUNSHINE REPUBLIC - split LP (few left) GEISHA - Mondo Dell'Orrore CD (available) HUNTING LODGE - Energy Czar (available again soon) JINN - s/t CD (available) THE MOCK HEROIC - Dignified Exits CD (available) NARCOSIS - Romance LP (few left) NARWHAL - s/t 7" (few left) SERMON - Traitor 7" (available) SICBAY / VALINA - split 7" (few left) SNOWBLOOD - The Human Tragedy CD (few left) SNOWBLOOD - Being And Becoming CD (few left) SNOWBLOOD - Being And Becoming 2xLP (few left) SWARRRM / DIMLAIA - split 10" (available) TAINT - The Ruin Of Nova Roma 2xLP (available) TRACTOR - 2006 Demo CDR (available on request) TRACTOR / GEISHA - split 10" (few left) TRENCHER / ESQUILAX - split 10" (few left) There's a sale on in our massive hardcore / punk / doom / stoner / grind / noise [distro], so pick some stuff up and help fund our new releases. Almost everything has been reduced in price, and those who live outside of the UK will find it easier to buy stuff what with the addition of new location-specific [PayPal] buttons, which look like this: October 14th, 2007 Here's a news update from the SuperFi camp! Tried to keep it in short bursts for you. Thanks for reading! Gigs - See [here] to read about the gigs we (and others) sometimes put on in Bristol, UK. The next one is [Charlottefield], [Adebisi Shank] and some locals on November 27th at the Junction. [Tractor] and [Geisha] are also supporting [Unsane] at the Croft on October 21st, plus Tractor play a benefit at the Junction on the 18th. Distro - there are more and more things being added to the distro all the time. Check [here] for a big load of hardcore, punk, metal, stoner, doom, noise, grind and other experimentalness. Army Of Flying Robots have been working hard, getting their album "Life Is Cheap" ready and touring the entirety of the UK. We did the CD version of the album, and www.feastoftentacles.com did the LP. They're going to rest for a while now, but the album and the discography of their older vinyl is still very much available. Check them out [here]. Jinn also just had their CD put out, and it rages. They managed to squeeze in some European dates and had a great time. Incidentally, if you fancy playing bass in Jinn, get in touch with them, as singer Pete is into the idea of separating the duties. Check them out [here]. Line will have their "They Took Great Proud In Their Work" CDEP rereleased as we came to realise that the sleeves and CD art didn't come out as well as they could have. It'll be rejigged a little bit and is next on the release schedule. Anyone who bought it already will get a new copy for free. Sorry about that. Check them out [here]. Taint will have their second album "Secrets And Lies" released by Rise Above in a week or so, and then go on tour round the UK. We are still very much doing the vinyl version, not sure when though as resources are tight. When it is out, we'll offer a package deal if you want to buy both their albums on vinyl. Check out a new song [here]. Snowblood have their third album in the can, and it's a monster. It'll be on CD and 2xLP, with four songs in about an hour, and is at times heavier and more beautiful than anything they've done. Glyn of [Scrawled] is doing the art, and the whole thing is going to look really special. Check them out [here]. Geisha also have their new release in the can. They're now a four-piece thanks to a guy called Pete, and have started to blast eardrums again around Bristol and the UK. Crucial Blast will be doing the album Stateside too. Check them out [here]. Art Of Burning Water will have a new CD out on Rise Above (again!) soon. They've got heavier and a bit less technical, but they still rule. Their first CD is still available from us and them. Check them out [here]. The Mock Heroic are taking it easy for the moment too. Their album "Dignified Exits" is still available from us. Moss will be doing a 7" with us. It's had a tortuous history to say the least. Originally a split with Irish band Serpents, who split up, it was then going to be with Japanese d-beat legends Disclose, but sadly the singer passed away recently. The plan is to have Moss on both sides now. More news soon! The Endless Blockade have their second album coming out on the excellent 20 Buck Spin label soon, along with a bunch of splits and collaborations. Their debut LP is still available. Their site is [here]. Krupskaya rule at psychotic political grind and are playing some Euro gigs real soon. I got confused and thought I was helping put out their new 7", but they went ahead and did it themselves, hopefully I will do something with them in future though. More info [here]. End The Agony have expanded to a trio, and we will hopefully be doing a record for them, won't be for a while though. Listen to them [here]. The Death Of Her Money have an album sort of ready which is still on the cards, but in the meantime have put out an EP themselves that follows on from their 7" from a while ago. Great droning stoner Krautrock. Check them out [here]. Drain The Sky features Carl Auge from Dimlaia who we did a record with (a split 10" with Swarrrm, which is still available), and they're coming to Europe for a tour in November. Have a listen [here]. Tractor is the band I'm in. Imagine noise-rock like Melvins, Godflesh, Swans and Unsane. We just recorded some songs at [Chuckalumba], the same place Electric Wizard, Hunting Lodge and Moss used, and a demo will be surfacing very soon. If anyone wants to put our stuff out, let me know! [More info]. Cheers! Kunal / SuperFi August 6th, 2007 The new Army Of Flying Robots and Jinn CDs have arrived! Head on over to the [store] to get yours now! Both bands have a bunch of gigs coming up too! See [here] for details. July 12th, 2007 Right, that's it. Hotmail's screwed me over one too many times. You can now email me at [superfirecords@gmail.com]. If you emailed me recently, please get in touch again. June 8th, 2007 Kawakami-san, the singer and guitarist of Disclose died recently. SuperFi extends its condolences to his family and friends. We were planning a split record between Disclose and Moss, but we'll have to see what happens with that. May 12th, 2007 - Newsflash! The Mock Heroic and Line CDs are both out now! See the [releases] section for more info. [The Junction] in Bristol is the best DIY venue in the area. They've hosted many bands from all genres in a friendly and professional manner. Help them through their current financial difficulties by digging deep and getting one of the three song-packed benefit CDs that are available. Several bands on SuperFi feature, such as Geisha, Hunting Lodge and Tractor: Thanks.
