OCTOBER 2026 UPDATE

Calling all Scums,
 

We're back once again with another snotrocket of punk phlegm in the form of the Illegal Leather cassette... be ready...
 

OUT NOW:
 

NFTR368 ILLEGAL LEATHER DEMO CASSETTE
What began as a Lockdown project has crawled out of the shadows and become a full band. Illegal Leather are London punk rock at its most primitive, vicious and unhinged featuring members of Gaggers, Tenement Rats and Speedways.
 

Playing raw, primitive KBD punk rock, Illegal Leather deal in the kind of filthy, sneering racket that sounds like it was recorded behind a condemned building while someone was being chased down an alley: ugly riffs, pounding drums and vocals that sound like they’ve been dragged through broken glass. The full-band lineup takes the original material and turns up the violence, adding a wilder, more feral edge to the sound as they deliver a full-strength dose of punk rock terror seasoned with equal measures of menace, sleaze, sarcasm and a particularly nasty sense of humour. There’s nothing polished, nothing respectable and absolutely nothing here designed to make you feel comfortable.
 

The look is strictly business. Leather jackets. Balaclavas. No apologies. Vocalist Agony Strap, marked out in red, fronts the operation while the rest disappear into black. Together they look less like a band and more like a gang you should have crossed the street to avoid.

Their new 6-track demo tape collects re-recorded versions of songs from the first two albums, ‘Raw Meat’ and ‘Mutilator’, alongside some brand-new cuts. It’s primitive and it’s vicious. The ski masks are on, the lights are going out, and Illegal Leather are bringing punk rock terror straight into your home. FFO Sick Pleasure, Angry Samoans, The Spits, Sick Thoughts, The Achtungs. GET IT HERE.
 

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE (This is ready to pre-order now and will be officially released on November 2nd.)
 
NFTR364 KAMIIKAZZE / VORAGINE SPLIT LP
Two bands, two countries, zero restraint. Colombia's Kamiikazze collide with Peru's Vorágine for an 11-track split of raw, filthy hardcore punk built for the underground. Kamiikazze already proved themselves with the 'Resurrección' 12" a couple of years ago and bring the stripped-down, furious attack of their Bogotá hardcore — thrashing, direct and unapologetically raw — while Lima's Vorágine unleash a nasty cocktail of crust, D-beat and hardcore punk. Following last year's 'Panico' 7" they continue to bring their "apabullante" and "agresivo en extremo" attack: overwhelming and brutally aggressive — and that pretty much tells you what you’re in for.
 

No polish, no clean edges, just distorted guitars, blown-out vocals, pounding drums and the kind of manic energy that belongs in a packed room with the floor shaking underneath you. South American hardcore from two different corners of the continent pressed together on one record and ready to fuck your speakers up. For the punks, the freaks, the tape traders and anyone still looking for something that sounds genuinely dangerous and wears its Discharge, Muro and Gauze influences proudly. Stunning screen printed cover art by the amazing Al. Bareto. PLAY LOUD. PRE-ORDER HERE.
 
Still hot:
 
NFTR362 STAGNATE S/T 7"
Stagnate crash onto the scene with their debut 8-track 7", a raw and blown-out blast of hardcore punk straight out of Indonesia. Chanelling the urgency and stripped-down attack of early Boston hardcore, Stagnate bring their own intensity to the sound, sharpened with plenty of street-level grit and Oi!-inflected vocals. No polish, no excess — just distorted guitars, pounding drums, shouted vocals and eight tracks of pissed-off, fast-moving hardcore punk built to be played loud. This EP is a furious blast of early hardcore spirit filtered through the heat and intensity of the Indonesian scene. Eight songs, zero filler, all attack. FFO Negative FX, Jerry’s Kids, SSD, Warthog, Glue, Public Acid. GET IT HERE.

NFTR359 BOTOX 'YOU NEED...' LP
London’s Botox present their debut album - a snotty blast of KBD-inspired punk packed with razor-sharp riffs, sneering vocals and zero wasted motion in 10 cuts. Fast, obnoxious and proudly unpolished, it's a record that captures the excitement of punk's most primitive and dangerous moments while sounding urgent and alive.
​
Featuring members of Enamorados, Desperate Fün, Lame and Suicide Generation, the band channels the pure spirit of '77 through short, slashing tracks fuelled by frustration, fury and a burning need to set the world alight. No filler, no pretension, no bullshit - just their filthy, no-bullshit brand of fast and raw punk rock. FFO Sick Thoughts, Kool and the Gangbangers, Acthungs, The Cavemen, The Spits, Buck Biloxi, The Rip Offs. GET IT HERE.
