Iron Man Records has made some good friends at Profane Existence and this Vinyl LP release is the result of  months of hard work on all sides. Iron Man Records released Police Bastard – It’s Good to Hate (on CD only) in 2010 and the CD featured 5 new songs and a DVD of live material recorded between 2007 and 2010. The band wanted to get a release out in other parts of the world so Profane Existence offered to release a different version in USA as a split album with War//Plague.

Police Bastard / War//Plague – “Attrition” split LP was released in May 2011 as a limited edition of 2000 VINYL LPs and features the same five Police Bastard songs as “It’s Good to Hate” plus an extra track Blasphemy Squad originally written by Rudimentary Peni. There are 6 tracks by War//Plague and some fantastic original sleeve artwork by Gost.

What people have said:

POLICE BASTARD WAR//PLAGUE split LP Absolutely crushing stuff here by two bands made up of weathered veterans from both sides of the Atlantic:

POLICE BASTARD hailing from Birmingham, UK (formed by ex-DOOM members) play a combination of classic peace punk with thrashier punk influences and include crustified versions of RUDIMENTARY PENI and the MOB.

WAR//PLAGUE hail from the DIY punk underbelly of Minneapolis (ex-PROVOKED, CALLOUSED, PONTIUS PILATE etc.) and play a deeply moody style of crusty punk with rhythmatic tribal undertones. Really good split if you’re into any of the aformentioned bands.

Police Bastard – European Tour 2011

POLICE BASTARD is the original Police Bastard members Chris Crass, Stu-Pid, and John Doom with Mark, Seano and Simon from Last Under The Sun.

I’m putting Police Bastard Tour Dates together now for a couple of short trips to Europe and the line up will include both Pid (Sensa Yuma) and John (Doom) on vocals

The band would probably be looking at a gig plus a share of the door, plus food and a place to stay. There will be 7 in the travelling party and we will have a full backline with us too.

Police Bastard – “It’s Good to Hate” CD (Iron Man Records) Released May 23rd 2010

Police Bastard – “It’s Good To HATE” will be released through Birmingham’s Iron Man Records, May 23rd 2010. The release contains a CD featuring four new songs and one cover version with an additional DVD containing live footage collected between 2007 and 2010. The record features the work of founding band members Pid and John Doom doing dual vocals together again for the first time in ten years. The gigs and recordings have also seen the return of Chris Crass, who took over on bass from Trogg in 1994. Seano Porno and Mark Badger from Last Under The Sun have picked up the work of guitars and additional vocals and the drummer is Simon James who also plays in Last Under The Sun and formerly of Rivers Edge.  The release is dedicated to Trogg, Police Bastard’s first bass player who passed away in 2008. It was because of Trogg and his enthusiasm to do it all again that Police Bastard started writing, rehearsing, recording and touring again.

CD tracks include: The Lie, God Off, Erosion, Born To Die and a cover of I Wish (Originally written by The Mob)

DVD includes: Keep An Active Mind (2007-2008), Police Bastard Live at 25 Jahre AU Festival, Frankfurt, Germany (2008), Police Bastard Live at Kopi, Berlin, Germany (2010).

The CD tracks were Recorded, mixed, produced and mastered by Simon Reeves at Framework Recording Studios, Musoplex. Simon has worked with the likes of Napalm Death, Cathedral, Meathook Seed, and a host of others from The Cubans, Harpies, and The Nightingales. After a nearly 20 year dedication to new and alternative music in all its many forms, he has become a master at capturing ferocious guitars and brutal sounds. The new recordings are by far the best thing the band has produced to date.

The DVD includes “Keep an Active Mind” a film by Iron Man Records, edited by Anthony J. Hughes, documenting a year in the life of Police Bastard with footage from a show the band organised at The Market Tavern, Birmingham 2007, Steve Ignorant’s “Feeding of the 5,000″ aftershow party, London 2007 and a tour of Europe in 2008 organised by Alerta Antifascista. The footage includes some live performances and out takes of the band on tour with a budget you can stick under a glass.

The footage of Police Bastard Live at 25 Jahre AU Festival, Frankfurt and Live at Kopi, Berlin, Germany was filmed, edited and directed by Peter Rhead.

Sleeve Artwork was done by Richard Daborn and photographs were taken by Lucy Pryor
