Finnish heavy metallers Battle Beast have just announced their first ever full UK headline tour for next March, following the release of their anticipated new album Bringer Of Pain which will be released via Nuclear Blast on February 17th.

Bassist and vocalist Eero Sipilä commented: “United Kingdom - the holy land of heavy metal! It’s taken its bloody time for us to make it past London, but like they say, all bad is worth waiting. We're super excited to finally explore UK further, and meet with all the people who've had to live without the beast for so very long. This will indeed be a blast! Majesty are old touring mates of ours, so it’s great having them on board to bring in some
 well needed German sex-appeal”. - Eero / BB

Following the release of their T.C.R EP earlier this year, Nottingham duo Sleaford Mods will release their new album English Tapas on Rough Trade Records on 3rd March 2017. The album was recorded in London at Steve Mackey’s West Heath Garage studios.

Of ‘English Tapas’, frontman Jason Williamson explains: 'Andrew walked into some random pub and saw “English Tapas” scrawled on the menu board. Underneath this beautiful coupling of words were its components: 'Half a scotch egg, cup of chips, pickle and a mini pork pie'. It says everything about this fucking place. It's comedy, it’s make do, it's ignorant and above all, it's shit".

Also set for release next year is Christine Franz’s Bunch of Kunst – the definitive Sleaford Mods film. Taking over two years to record, it charts the rise of the band from back street pub venues to rock arenas.
