Is this the end of the world?

Its the end of the world as we know it...

All hell has broken loose, a concoction of americanised ghetto culture love, youthful naughty energy, general old fashioned thuggery , a hefty dose of political moronic choice with a brown coloured country leadership and the trusty bbm messenger service.

A definite sense of excitement and fear. Local groups pulling together to look after their own. What. A. Week.

And one outcome that people like you and me (lovers of music...) will feel is the burning down of the Sony Distribution center which housed many many records we would love to buy. The warehouse was Sony Corp's sole distribution base in the UK, it also stored PIAS Distribution, who are responsible for the stock of many independent record labels.
XL, Angular, Domino, Matador, Warp and Sub Pop are amongst the labels affected by the blaze.

So we urge you to buy loads of MP3s from these people while they try to sort out how it will work out.

It seems a funny place for the thugs and hoody-kids to loot, I amuse myself imagining a bunch of hoodlums saying to each other how they have grabbed a load of Wetdog and Horrors on vinyl..."yeah loved that Lower Leg, that shit is hardcore bruv", "shut it, thats nuttin, I gots some Still Life 7s - dope!"....

Dicks will be pushing their luck now for a while so stay safe. Love HS Republic; the state of the future.

It's almost upon us...

Ladies and Gentlemen we have news. The single that will precede our second record will be released on September 12th.

Social play-list fun...

Songs we and other people like...

In a month of frenzied middle east fervor and intense ipad vs blackberry touchy screens nonesense, we are sitting back and thanking the great lord (?) that all this is probably meaningless. That a speck of dust in the midst of an infinity is, at the very least mathematically, unimportant.

COMMUNAL PLAY-LIST
We made a play-list of the girl-groups we had the social networking friends(fazbuke and Titter) chatting about.

New Stuff

Ok we have some new stuff on our blog....at the top you can see a link to our new Shop with new OMG hand Screen-printed bags (only 50 or so), these are printed from a drawing by Finn. There will be more put up for sale on there when we get time, but he bags are pretty cool we think, so a good start. We also have a new Tumblr account that is for more art and photos and stuff we find, this will be a place you can get a real glimpse into Riley's mind who will be posting a lot of his great little animations and drawings up there...new trailer for album animated by Riley coming soon...

You can now join the email update of the blog if you want...and like to help make more people in Fazbook land know and all that stuff. All very thankingful for help you have on making things known. Today Hackney, tomorrow the world. hhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahah (that was evil laughter, in case it passed you by).
