Iron Man Records will be at Moseley Record Fair on Sunday 3rd December 2023

28 November 2023Mark

People go to record fairs for a variety of reasons. Some go to buy and sell rare or hard-to-find Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and other music-related items. Others go to discover new music, explore different genres or eras of music, or to meet friends or network with other music enthusiasts. I like the social aspect of going to a record fair, browsing through collections, listening to music, and meeting like-minded individuals who also share an unhinged passion for music. Iron Man Records will be at Moseley Record Fair on Sunday 3rd December 2023. MOSELEY ALL SERVICES CLUB, 91 Church Road, Moseley, BIRMINGHAM, B13 9EA. 12pm–4pm. FREE ADMISSION!

Iron Man Records has had to develop a number of survival skills in the wasteland that is the world of independent music. Changing habits post Covid, the cost of living crisis, Brexit, the cost of touring, the price of fuel, streaming services, and online platforms have drained the life blood from the environment that musicians operate in. At a time when most people are overwhelmed with music to choose from, playing music has become an unsustainable career choice for many. Earning enough to just cover basic costs has become almost a dream. I would like to invite you to become an Iron Man Records Patron. Musicians need a number of different…

Art, music, and performance can provide a way for individuals to express themselves creatively, communicate their thoughts and feelings, and connect with others on an emotional level. Art, music, and performance can expose individuals to different cultures and perspectives, fostering a sense of empathy and understanding of other people and ways of life. Some studies suggest that participation in art, music, and performance can have a positive impact on academic performance, particularly in areas such as maths and reading. Engaging in art, music, and performance can help individuals develop important skills such as discipline, focus, and perseverance, which can be beneficial in all areas of life. Finally, art, music, and performance…

Whoever controls the internet servers, controls the intellectual record of humankind. And by controlling the intellectual record of humankind, you control our perceptions of who we are.

19 September 2014Mark

Police Bastard - "It's Good To HATE" distributed by Cargo - October 6th 2014 “Police Bastard – ‘It’s Good To Hate’ CD and DVD Four new tracks and one cover here and its typical Police Bastard…powerful, inspiring, hardcore punk with passionate vocals (incidentally, when did Stu-Pid grow up and come just plain ‘Pid’?!). If any changes are noticeable since their original incarnation, then it’s probably a bit more metal influenced, with the occasional guitar screech and more Doom-esque growls of anguish, but apart from that its good as ever and especially that ‘Pid’ is back on vocals. The cover is The Mob’s ‘I Wish’ which, after the gentle intro, gets the…

Video by CHU on the making of 360 degree artwork for "Mohawk" by John Sinclair

17 February 2014Mark

"I sketched the entire world and digitised it inside Google's Sketchup, where this three dimensional, three hundred and sixty degree artwork could spring to life. This sketch can be viewed from almost anywhere and the result is a multi-dimensional drawing - a million sketches worth. When making a normal two dimensional drawing, changing the viewpoint requires a completely new sketch - this way, the sketch allows plenty of freedom for the viewer and there are a sickening amount of permutations. This economy in the production stemmed from the need to pay tribute to, as close as possible, the location and setting for the photoshoot on the cover of Thelonius Monk's Undeground…
