Dear friends we are really happy to announce the release of the 5th album of The Drain On The Balcony. It is limited to 150 copies on black vinyl, and printed inner sleeve with the lyrics and additional info for the recordings. The band was announced as the best acoustic punk band of Solihul, in the past, and they are the 1st band of the indie legend, and our dearest friend Rocker (Steph Wood). They are active, on part time basis since 1977. We are really proud for this release, and it is the best way to close the year! This is their 2nd release for our label, including the sold out 7" vinyl Trully, Deeply, Madly. It includes 12 tracks, some about politics, like "Tears of Rage" and "A Short History of Modern Britain" and some about love like the heartbreaker "Across the Sea".
