BEAK mail order package coming real soon.. LP/CD/SHIRT/ GOODIES

Some of you may have heard / checked out BEAK on their MySpace Site. Anyway for those of you that haven't, trot along to www.myspace.com/beak2009 and listen to some studio sessions recently recorded at "State Of Art" in Bristol. BEAK are a trio (Billy - Matt - Geoff) that make a pretty decent racket with multiple instruments. Obviously its up to the listener to judge for themselves on how they sound. To my "trained ears" they sound like a bastard child of Neu, Joy Division, Silver Apples, Sunn 0))) and Harmonia.
Invada Records have decided to release a mail-order only limited edition (200 - numbered) package. This should be available in around a months time ; the package will have a 12" LP / 4 Track CD / T-Shirt + assorted other collectible bits n bobs. These boxes will be limited to one per person. We really don't wanna see these up on ebay for extortionate prices so we will closely monitor where these are being sent to. Keep checking back for further news about this but in the meantime go and get some BEAK into you..

TEAM BRICK debut Mastered and ready for May 25th release

On Friday, Invada Records representatives met with Mr Brick (pictured above) and went to Optimum in Bristol to have his debut album "Alogon" Mastered.
5 hours and ludicrous amounts of coffee & tea later, everyone was happy with the end product..
The album runs for just shy of 65 mins and features 5 tracks including the epic "Tuba Mirabilis" which plays for 26.39. The album is scheduled for a full release on May 25th. Look out forthcoming news about a Team Brick 4 night residency in Bristol to celebrate the album launch. Around summer time TB and label mates Thought Forms are to take to the road and take on the UK and Europe - any interested promoters should contact us at invadarecords@live.co.uk and we will forward on any information.

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX album details - LISTEN UP !!!

On April 20th Invada Records will release the brand new Crippled Black Phoenix album titled "200 Tons Of Bad Luck".

The track listing is as follows :

Burnt Reynolds

Rise Up And Fight

Time Of Ye Life / Born For Nothing /Paranoid Arm Of Narcoleptic Empire

Wendigo

Littlestep

Crossing The Bar

Whissendine

A Real Bronx Cheer

444

A Hymn For A Lost Soul

A Lack Of Common Sense

I Am Free - Today I Perished

Taken From The press release "Now continuing on the 'Endtime Ballads' theme, the band are ever expanding and have shown they're not afraid to stick out their neck to create something timeless and decadent, progressive, powerfull music. Guitars coated with strings and piano, striking with the most emotional yet subtle sounds theat could drage forever across a universe, seeming somewhat at odds with the current climate. With songs which revisit a time this modern world has forgotten, lifting the listener out of reality, or songs that just captivate sheer sadness, the impact that haunts GBP's music hooks the inner emotions , only felt with the passing of something, its the soundtrack to saying goodbye."

BUT THATS NOT IT !!

As well as the 200 Tons Of Bad Luck album, Crippled Black Phoenix will also release a limited edition 2 CD Box Set version titled "The Ressurectionists & Night Raider". This will essentially feature all of the songs from the " 200 Tons" album + a whole load of exclusive bonus material never heard before. The artwork will be different from "200 Tons" and we're hoping to have some images of the Box Set very soon. Please bare in mind this will be a limited format and we're not expecting it to be around for long..

The track listing is as follows.

A lack Of Common Sense

Trust No One

I Am Free - Today I Perished

TALIBAM VS PEEESSEYE self titled collaboration. May release

Talibam (pictured) and Peeesseye (PSI) have teamed up to produce one hell of an album for Invada. Just shy of 50 mins, the guys have delivered an epic piece of music that simply cannot be described in any human language. The trademark free experimental jazz sounds are present throughout this piece - BUT do not let that fool you. Some extreme noise and haunting (almost black metal sounding) vocals make this project unique. There really is nothing like this available at the moment.. Released in May on both CD and Vinyl formats with the vinyl having a bonus track. Talibam and Peeesseye will be touring this record around May time, any interested promoters please contact us at invadarecords@live.co.uk and we will forward details on to relevant parties...

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX sneak artwork preview!

THOUGHT FORMS

Thought Forms are Guy Metcalfe / Charlie Romijn / Deej Dhariwal. www.myspace.com/thoughtforms
Invada will be releasing their self titled debut album in May. Thought Forms hail from Melksham in the South West of England. They have built up an impressive following particularly in Bristol and Bath over the past few years as well as playing dates around the U.K and the U.S.
We are ecstatic to be finally releasing this record after seeing the trio live so many times. Musically TF have taken influence from past masters such as Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Loop etc but their sound encompasses influence from modern experimental noise bands like The Skaters, Double Leopards, Emeralds etc. It's no use merely listing a load of bands that have influence on TF though. Check out their MySpace and judge for yourself.
TF's will be playing New York City in May to launch the album as well as touring the UK with Team Brick shortly on their return. Any interested promoters please contact invadarecords@live.co.uk and we will put you directly in touch.
