We may have only release a new 7″ six weeks ago but we’ve got new No Anchor coming out the wazoo!

Check out our new No Anchor t-shirts. They dropped yesterday afternoon and Ian earlier today saw a fine fellow reppin’ on down in the valley.

Head over to the BANDCAMP PAGE HERE and check it out, pick a size and improve your wardrobe.

If you’re in Brisbane. You can also head down to TYM guitars where these shirts are shirts for sale.

The other exciting news (for us & hopefully you) is that in a month or so we will have a new release. Not a new album as such (we’re about to start recording that) but our second collection of live material. This one is way better than our first live release with unreleased songs, covers and even remixes (is that a dirty word in 2012?). That’s about as much info as we’re letting out of the bag at this point in time but stay tuned.

Check it out.

This is coming up this Friday. We’re long time fans of Melbourne’s Heirs and are glad we’re finally getting to play a show with them. If you’re in Brisbane this coming weekend then there’s a heap of rad stuff on so plan ahead and make sure you’re here!

On the Thursday night before this show, Heirs are doing an instore performance at Tym Guitars in the valley. Think of it as the entree to the main meal!

Well, apart from Alex and Donnie getting all giddy cause it’s International Buy All The Vinyl You Can Afford Instead Of Food Day this Saturday (no really that’s what it’s called). We’re pretty pumped for what is going to probably be the party of the year this weekend.

Our good friends Tim & Geordie over at Tym Guitars in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane are celebrating International Record Store Day 2012 by having a bunch of bands play in their shop and having a stack of new records for people to rustle through and snap up as well as prizes and whatever else Tim dreams up between now and then. No Anchor are just one of the bands playing, our buddies in Violent Soho and Turnpike are playing as well as Dumbsaint and Margins from down south. We’re on around 2pm (or thereabouts).

We think Tim (who owns and runs Tym Guitars) is tops cause he gets crazy ideas, just like us and loves seeing them through to fruition. Hell, he made us the most powerful distortion pedal we know of and put our name on it! Well, he had a good idea to pool our resources to not only celebrate records and such but to help out some folks less fortunate. Below is the total of our pooling…

Yep, that there is our entire back catalogue as well as one of Tim’s custom-made signature No Anchor distortion pedals. As for the music, we found one of the last physical copies of our debut ‘Fire Flood Acid Mud’ which we pretty much sold out of back in April 2009. The vinyls are actually the test-pressings of ‘Real Pain Supernova’ (we only have about 20 copies of this album left before it’s sold out) as well as the test-pressing of our latest 7″. The cover for the LP is specially screenprinted by hand by our friend Matt at 7th Disaster. The t-shirt (designed and illustrated by Murdoch Stafford) is a large size and the last one we have of this design.

Tim has decided to set this up as an auction so that anyone in the world who wants it can have a chance to get their hands on it. He’s made a Facebook Event Page where you can put up how much you are willing to part with for the prize pack and it will run until our live set starts instore on Saturday.

If you’re in Brisbane, come down and be part of the good times on Saturday and as always… bring your earplugs!
