Finally for our Alexis boys, keep your eyes peeled on Scuzz and MTV2 for the ‘Rough Hands video, and then get bugging the likes of Zane Lowe and Colin Murray to play it on Radio 1.

And last of all, a little mention for our Hardcore compilation. Featuring the likes of Gallows, our lovely lads in Cancer Bats and the just-mentioned-up-a-bit-The Ghost Of A Thousand, this has been put together with Daniel P. Carter from the Radio 1 Rock Show and has been getting loadsa love from all over the shop - Kerrang!, NME, Rock Sound…they all love it! It’s only a mega limited run of two thousand copies and you can pick it up most places for under a fiver, so to see the full tracklisting and to be taken to our Hassle Records webstore, simply hit the artwork above and you’ll be whisked right across.
