On the 9th September we’re finally unveiling The Hate Tape. We’re releasing it in a limited supply and by limited, we mean limited. Limited as in “it’s pretty much sold out already” limited. Yeaahhhh, you best get on that quick.
True to its name The Hate Tape is being released in cassette form only. This is so you can all go out with boom boxes and play it obnoxiously loud whilst shimmying down the street. Each cassette comes with a link for the mp3’s too, just in case you like the prospect of owning something that doesn’t physically exist. Don’t be pulling the old “But I ain’t gots no cassette player, yo” card on us. We know you have it stuffed in your loft along with the entire Spice Girls discography on cassette – don’t be shittin’ us.
You should totally buy it because, in the words of one reviewer, “if you don’t get [The Hate Tape], you’re a fucking idiot.” The review then ends with “Buy or die!” Let’s weigh the options here: you can either buy an awesome cassette or you can risk a sudden IQ drop followed by death. I’m sure the £2 asking price seems reasonable. You wouldn’t get this sort of life treatment on the NHS, I can tell you that much.
You can - and should - order the tape online here. There are four different covers for the tape, each one designed by a member of the band. As the most important and artistically gifted member, you should definitely opt for my cover (it has a fucking dog on it!!1!!1!).
The more direct (and much more sociable and friendly route!) would be to buy it on the tour dates we’re doing in support of the tape. We’d love it if you came up to our merch stand and said hi, but you know, if you want the brief exchange of cash for goods to take place in utter silence, we’re totally down with that too.
Here’s our September. Pen these dates in your iCal, it’s gonna be hateful:
- September 10th: Head of Steam, Newcastle w/40oz
- September 12th: The Old Blue Last, London w/Grazes + Golden Tanks + Hospitals
- September 22nd: The Brickyard, Carlisle w/The Computers + Back Jash
- September 23rd: Riverside Café Bar, Sheffield w/End To Empires + End Reign + Speak Up + In Arms
I expect to see each and every one of you there, boom boxes on shoulders, hair slicked back and shades worn indoors. Remember: you’re all cool kids now.
Stay hateful,
- Bish
