Hey cats and dogs, Hassle HQ is very busy at the moment, preparing the releases of some great records, and welcoming new bands into our family, so we'll just dive straight into it and let you know what's what. Attack In Black  'Marriage' 05/05/2008  Best mates of Dallas Green from City And Colour/Alexisonfire, if you’ve got a ticket for one of the upcoming City And Colour shows you’ll have the pleasure of seeing these guys support. Dallas had these nice words to say about them: “Watching Attack In Black play music makes me just as happy as playing in my own band. They are one of the only bands that can do that to me.” Head over to MySpace.com - Attack in Black - Welland, CA - Indie / Rock - www.myspace.com/attackinblack to download some free music. They’ll also be playing their own show at Notting Hill Arts Club on 12th April. Anti-Flag  'The Bright Lights Of America' 31/03/2008  We’re ludicrously excited to announce that we’re going to be working with Anti-Flag, and we’ll be releasing their forthcoming record ‘The Bright Lights Of America’ on 31st March. The band headline the second stage of Give It A Name in May, and will be heading north of the border to play two shows in Glasgow and Dundee. Dates are as follows: May 10 - GIAN @ Sheffield Arena May 11 - GIAN @ Earl's Court, London May 13 - QMU, Glasgow May 14 - Fat Sam's, Dundee MySpace.com - Anti-Flag - PITTSBURGH, US - Punk / Rock / Crunk - www.myspace.com/antiflag Cancer Bats  'Hail Destroyer' 21/04/2008  Cancer Bats are back, and they have come to destroy. The new album ‘Hail Destroyer’, which comes out 21st April, is going to blow your minds. The riffing is so ferocious, it’s ridiculous. If you haven’t seen them live, head out to one of the following shows. These guys are one of the top 3 live bands we’ve ever had the pleasure of releasing.

On Pete Wentz’s Decaydance label in the States, you’re going to be hearing a lot more about these over the next year, starting with an appearance at Give It A Name. Read for yourself what Pete had to say about the band: “Four Year Strong reminds me of bands I grew up listening to in the hardcore scene, but feels totally fresh and new for 2008.” MySpace.com - Four Year Strong - Worcester, MASSACHUSETTS - German pop / Emotronic / Ghettotech - www.myspace.com/fouryearstrong Hassle Records shows We’ve started putting on shows with our good friends Kev and Angela from KA Promotions.
