[10.05.08] New record out TODAY, The Ne'er-Do-Wells' The Accidental Death Of An Inactivist (on shiny black ltd. 7" vinyl).

Brighton's The Ne'er-Do-Wells formed in 2005 as the propaganda wing of The Inactivist International, a revolutionary movement founded on the principle of "doing nothing for a change". With a primitive understanding of their instruments, the three members of The Ne'er-Do-Wells made minimal brutalist punk advocating masturbation, unemployment, and sharp-dressing.

The Accidental Death Of An Inactivist represents The Ne'er-Do-Wells in 3 songs. The single completes the project of The Inactivist International.

Check it out, have a listen, BUY IT here. And as with our last couple of releases, there are free MP3s with the purchase. Excellent!

[31.03.08] Remodel are back, with their second single on Sad Gnome, and our first digital only release. First track Formula is caged animal swagger and a swinging, punching riff as the band tear into the tainted world of prosaic pop - pop that punches - then hands you a hanky to wipe your bloody nose. Second track Cognoscenti has them rocking out to the disdain of fashionistas and trend-surfers, scattering harmonics and harmonies while adhering to an inherent punk-rock urgency. A double A-side not to be missed!

Watch the video, then download from iTunes.

[03.03.08] For the digitally inclined, Bad Film is now available as an MP3 release via iTunes. Don't forget though, that if you buy the beautiful shiny black 7", you'll get the MP3s for free. Pretty good deal.

[26.01.08] Lily Rae's much anticipated first single is OUT NOW! A tenderly brash slice of acoustic alt-pop, Bad Film displays the lyrical precision, full-throated delivery and raw songwriting talent for which Lily will shortly be famous. B-side, Scallywag - penned three years ago when she was just thirteen – employs kitten sounds and a recorder solo to create one of the most gleefuly honest, insistently catchy acoustic guitar tracks you'll hear this year.

Buy it here. And get this: When you purchase the 7" single, we'll email you free MP3s of both tracks as a bonus! Cool, huh? (If you just want downloads though, the single will be available through iTunes and assorted digital outlets shortly).

And check out Lily's recent interview with the Von Pip Musical Express.

[18.12.07] 'tis the season etc., and this being a time of giving we've got the loveliest of Christmas e.p.s for you - to download for FREE! It features current Sad Gnome stars Lily Rae, Remodel and My Name Is Red, two future ones in Space Peacocks and Marianne Nowottny, a welcome guest appearance by our mate Keith TOTP... and a hidden bonus track from some dear friends of ours (whom you'll be hearing a LOT more from come March). Grab it asap though, it'll be deleted (ie. taken down) shortly after the holidays.

Thanks to all for supporting us and the artists this past year; expect to be further amazed in 2008. Buy some more records if you want. (You should). Merry Christmas!

[24.10.07] My Name Is Red's Alice Won't You Lay With Me? is just around the corner... so close in fact that you can pre-order it now. "Tensely wrapped and wired with punctuated lust ridden rhythms bedded upon slickly seductive showers of synthesised whirlpools" it's been described as... which means it's brilliant. So don't miss out.

And for those of you in the vicinity of Brighton on Thursday 1st November, there's a launch at The Pressure Point, starring (of course) My Name Is Red, and featuring I-Koma, Phantom Baby, DJs, booze, badges, dancing and degeneracy. Coming?

[07.09.07] Girl No Trouble is now available as a digital download. Get it from iTunes.

Pop over to liveroom.tv and take a look at the very handsome Remodel perform a few of their post-punk pop hits... then buy their super 7".

[07.09.07] Right, buy Joe Rybicki's Girl No Trouble now! (If you haven't already.) It REALLY is ace on toast. With jam.

My Name Is Red's Alice Won't You Lay With Me is set for release on October 29th. There'll be a launch at Pressure Point in Brighton (UK) on November 1st, so make notes in your calenders.

And... coming soon on Sad Gnome, a record with a rude title :-)

[23.08.07] Joe Rybicki's Girl No Trouble CD-single is due for release on September 3rd – it's wonderful and we can't wait. Can you? Get a taster here. (Pre-ordering will be up shortly).

And coming soon (within the next few months) on Sad Gnome: New singles by the amazing Lily Rae (ex of the great Bottle Rocket; she's even better by herself), and the equally fab My Name Is Red, filthy indie disco for your filthy indie soul! We're dead excited about both!

[11.07.07] A bunch of news: First up, we changed the website a bit – we think it's much better, hope you all approve. More importantly though, we're pleased as pie to announce our forthcoming release, the first by the most excellent Joe Rybicki. It'll be a CD-single, soon obtainable from us, as well as assorted outlets to be confirmed. Stay tuned.
