Punk Album Release: Deadites II by The Deadites

The Deadites, DIY Punk rockers

Deadites II album arrivesWhile we spend most of our collective spare time organising and running our DIY Punk gigs, we also sometimes manage to squeeze in some time on something even more ambitious.  Over three years ago now we released our first ever record as Scary Clown Records, and we’re now proud to say SCP0002 is released; DEADITES II by The Deadites.

The album was nearing completion just as the pandemic hit, which scuppered planned meetings with the band – so everything went on hold for a bit until we realised the lockdowns weren’t going to ease up for some time.

So somehow we managed to produce a slab of vinyl for the band without physically meeting up!  We should be taking delivery of the physical copies next week.  The band has produced their own insert, with photos and song lyrics. We’ve been big fans of the Deadites for MANY years – their songs are heartfelt and uplifting – and have the unique laid-back yet energetic sound that defines the Deadites for us.

Probably the most under-rated bands in the DIY scene – they have played MPF and more SCP gigs than any other band (probably on par with Wonk Unit), and while few have probably heard of them outside the local area, touring bands who play with them are always blown away.  It’s time we helped our first label’s band get out there and heard.  They are the loveliest chaps – they’d probably play for chips*, they just love playing their music in front of good people.

You can order your copy in our shop (£12 plus postage), or try and get to a gig and by in person – The Deadites will be playing our big Skate-aid 8 all-dayer.

*they probably would like me to clarify chips & cash!

Here’s a couple of tracks from the album to sample…

The Scary Clown Presents… a DIY Punk Compilation Album!

Scary Clown Presents team album announcement

Bloody exciting news alert!!!

Our punk collective has been thinking about extending our reach by creating a small independent record label for some time – and to kick that off we’ve decided to start with a compilation album, entitled “The First Five Years”.  We’ve had over 100 bands play at our gigs over the last five years (we celebrate that 5th birthday at our next gig at Mama Liz’s, which also celebrates their 10th year of being a cracking independent music venue.

So SCP0001 “The First Five Years” is well underway, with almost all the bands & tracks agreed (30ish in total), our music producer guru is in place, and we want all tracks with him before the end of October!

We’ve got some of the cream of the DIY punk scene on this banger, and in many cases it’s never released tracks!  We’ve got quotes in for the manufacture & pressing – we are going for top quality production values on our first baby, no expense spared, no bank account left in the black.  We are talking a double vinyl gatefold LP and a full to bursting CD!

Artwork mock-ups are underway (we’ve got a ton of great photos thanks to scene photograph Mark Richards and local hotshot Pawel!)… and a rough schedule is in place too keep us honest.  We may have the best punk rock Xmas pressie of all time on our hands!

Cheers to all the bands coming in on this adventure with us!
