Here's our next in-store on the 3rd October, free entry!

Sinister Delivery Systems are a Deptford super group if you will, or even if you won’t. South London’s finest purveyors of wonky, tuneful, noisy, harmonic odd time signature punkadelia perhaps. For fans of Cardiacs, Minutemen, Radiohead, Slint, Stella Artois & those French butter biscuits they sell in Sainsburys but also for people that don’t like any of that kind of stuff. Essentially you can’t go wrong unless you’re the kind of person that hates everything that’s good. We can’t help you with that sadly. You probably need therapy which is expensive and outside our remit. 

See you there! 🤘

It's been a busy old time down here in our new spot, but we are tirelessly working behind the scenes to bring you the best underground heavy music from around the world!

So here's another great label I discovered at Desertfest London last year after seeing one of their bands play, Khan (an Aussie King Buffalo), so I had to know more about this label Copper Feast Records..

There's lot's going on Down Under it transpires, Stoner Rock from Sydney's Comacozer, amazing Space Rock from Narla, Melbourne's Pseudo Hive Mind, Khan and Crushing Doom metal from Kvll, Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows and from a little closer to home, heavy psyche rockers Earl of Hell!

Come and find your latest obsession, we never get tired of discovering new music, and you?
