Below The Fall - Futile- Below the Fall perfectly capture the essence and passion of a brief and little-celebrated musical era.
Gorse - Old Certainties- Unashamedly DIY new release from ratty South Coast skanks Gorse
Grifter - Grifter- You wanted the riffs, and you got it! The hottest riffs in the land!
Neurosis - Sovereign- Their first release on their Neurot record label, here re-issued with new artwork and a bonus track.

Cultfinder - Cultfinder- An impressive cauldron of vehement aggression...
Ramon Zarate - Oyster- Belgium, a land of fine chocolate, tasty beer and a load of countrymen that certainly know how to drink. They also deal in some good rock bands.
