People who say Tough Love Records are not one of the most commendable indie labels in the UK do not exist – everyone’s in agreement that their every release has had something about it that at least borders on the wonderful. They’re one of our very favourites, and as such we’re delighted to be offering a whole heap of Tough Love-related junk as part of a competition to celebrate the upcoming release of a split single between two of their finest bands – Calories, and long time Rockfeedback favourites William.
The latest release in the Tough Love split 7” series is described by the label as being a release from two bands “charged on the same post-punk/post-hardcore records and coming out of leftfield with a lot of pop structure suss”, and they’d know, wouldn’t they? But as well as the 45 in question, this prize is pretty much a starter kit for being a William/Calories/Tough Love fan, containing all’a this:
1 x William/Calories - Split 7"
1 x William - Self in Fiction album
1 x William - Playground 7"
1 x William - Five Minute Wonder 7"
1 x William - Slightly Delighted mini album
1 x Calories - Adventuring album
1 x Tough Love T shirt (I really want one of these, they look ace)
To support the release of the split, there are some gigs – both bands playing with support from Youves at The Victoria in Birmingham on Friday February 5th and at the Jamboree in London on Saturday February 13th with Not Cool. The shows are part of a... thing called Vilest Thug Loop. I’m not sure what that is, so I’m going to go to their website to find out.
To win yourself a bag full of the above, simply answer this riddle:
Which of these bands has never released any music on Tough Love?:
