  • Police Bastard – “It’s Good To HATE” will be released through Birmingham’s Iron Man Records, May 23rd 2010.

    The release contains a CD featuring four new songs and one cover version with an additional DVD containing live footage collected between 2007 and 2010.

    The record features the work of founding band members Pid and John Doom doing dual vocals together again for the first time in ten years. The gigs and recordings have also seen the return of Chris Crass, who took over on bass from Trogg in 1994. Seano Porno and Mark Badger from Last Under The Sun have picked up the work of guitars and additional vocals and the drummer is Simon James who also plays in Last Under The Sun and formerly of Rivers Edge.

    The release is dedicated to Trogg, Police Bastard’s first bass player who passed away in 2008. It was because of Trogg, and his enthusiasm to do it all again, that Police Bastard started writing, rehearsing, recording and touring again.

UK Music are looking for established music businesses in the North East who have approached banks for business finance

Here’s a message from our friends at generator. This is aimed at those operating in the North East but it raises some interesting points that may be useful to you wherever you are based.

“Our friends at UK Music are looking for established music businesses in the North East who have approached banks for business finance. ?Experience from across the industry suggests that this is hard to obtain and UK Music would like to make a case to the Government on behalf of the industry to request additional support in dealing with banks.

If you have been successful in obtaining finance for your business from the banks, UK Music would still like to hear from you as they would like to present a number of case studies.

Please read the letter below and forward your responses to info at ukmusic.org with your name, business and telephone number.”

Thank you.
