IMPORTANT PLEASE READ :

FOR THOSE THAT HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH INVADA MAIL ORDER PLEASE READ :
It has come to our attention that the 3rd party company who process orders for us have not been corresponding data correctly to our email - nor to our suppliers.
We are hoping this problem should be resolved after a lengthy conversation today and we may have got to the bottom of the problem.
We have set up a mail order help contact which will be checked twice a week by someone directly inside the Invada office who will be able to 'iron out' any problems with the Big Cartel (our mail order shop).
If you have any problems PLEASE only contact invadastore@hotmail.com
DO NOT contact the invadarecords@live.co.uk email address, or the invada records myspace website. (any messages coming into these two sites will simply be deleted)
After lenthy discussions with our mail order contacts -
We would also like to raise two points.

1) Sending product by 'special' 'registered' or 'recorded delivery' will always guarantee your item and insure the item to replacement value. If you order and just pay regular 1st class, we cannot guarantee or replace items that go missing in the post - although we will do our best to try and help the situation.

2) Delivery times : Please allow upto 14 days for UK and 28 days for rest of world. Most days our mail order company go to the Post Office or use courier companies for dispatch - therefore items normally get sent out same day as order comes in. Please be patient and do not bombard us with emails unless the item doesnt come in the allocated time we are stating here.

welcome to 2010 - whats happening

Okay so its another year and exciting times here at Invada Records.
Firsty appologies for anyone thats emailed in over the xmas holiday and is waiting for a response. Swine Flu took over the office just at the end of the BEAK> tour and its only now that we're fully open and ready for business..

Regarding Mail order queries / complaints - we are currently working on a new system where there will be more control direct from Invada HQ rather than the current system which is basically controlled by a 3rd Party.
This should help 'iron-out' any problems / delays or mistakes on Invada merchandise & products. In a couple of days i will post up details of how the shop will change with a new designated email address to deal with any problems personally.

In the meantime Invada have plenty of new products ready to snap up from the store.. here's a list of what we have.

BEAK Pitchfork Story

"DO" BELIEVE THE HYPE. whats being said about the THOUGHT FORMS debut album

This is soaring, epic stuff, the sound of effect pedals being tortured and sacrificed to the Gods of thunder., phaser set to stun, and delays and fuzz too.
KKKK - Kerrang Magazine June 09

the UK's THOUGHT FORMS have harnessed the hazy gleam of My Bloody Valentine and used it to their own inspired ends on their self titled Invada Records Debut
7/10 - Metal Hammer magazine June 09

Thought Forms are in an enviable position for such a young band . Reverberating guitars evoke satellite frequencies searching for life and finding it in fuzzy, distant screams. Space-age shoegazers need look no further for their next trip.
7/10 - Rock Sound magazine August 09

Thought Forms have created a record that is pure testament to kids with guitars.
Think Sonic Youth, think My Bloody Valentine.... think Mogwai.
Big fuck-off riffs with nice beefy distortion, hazy power slides through alt rock miscellanea.
Rock-A-Rolla magazine July / August 09

new young band Thought Forms on the excellent Invada label have come up trumps this week and taken the Record Of The Week gong. Blending the quiet/noise aesthetic with modern experimentalism and melody this band could well have it all!! -
Picadilly Records May 09

Thought Forms make their instruments tower higher than the sum of their parts, even when the sound is just that of casual jangle, but they then go on to create staggering waves of noise
from a series of trapped, shimmering oscillations, force fed through
bouts of overdrive. Spellbinding.
ManchesterMusic.co.uk Album Of The Week - July 09


“They’re raw – almost grungey – but they’ve got that shoegazing thing going on too. And if they’re looking at their shoes it means they’re not looking in the mirror, know what I mean?”
Geoff Barrow, Portishead in NME, May 09

At Rock Sound we have a particular penchant for our post-rock. Not every band can nail it, but Thought Forms have pretty much got it spot on, as their self titled debut album proves. In fact, Portishead's Geoff Barrow loved it so much, he signed the band up to his Invada Imprint.
Rock Sound magazine (Bubbling Under - The Best New Music section) Aug 09

Thought Forms have sculpted one of the most intensely tight albums you will
hear ths year, with tracks embracing everything from post rock
instrumentalism, to shoegazing beauty the likes of which *Slowdive* and
the like would have killed for fifteen years ago.
The Beat Surrender - August 09

“Thought Forms” offers refreshingly ambitious and atmospheric guitar
music. It gives more than a nod to Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.
Structure in Sonic Youth’s music emerges only to
disappear again. The ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet. It
sounds as though this is what Thought Forms aspire to, and they meet the
challenge with vigor and intelligence.
Too Cool To Die - July 09

Thought Forms debut is a sonic journey through mesmerising expansive soundscapes of desolate wastelands and thunderous
shards of noise which lap at the toes of the gods, that should not be
missed.
