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!

Rewards for Iron Man Records Patrons. Become a Patron today and support the cause

13 November 2023Mark

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…

Morus – European Tour Dates 15th – 30th September 2023

15 September 2023Mark

MORUS – CIALO OBCE: “I’ve long had a love affair with Polish hardcore and punk and singular in that obsession has long been Post Regiment—so you can imagine how excited I was to discover that two members had formed a new band called Morus. Fundamentally, this retains the same level of intensity and dynamism while being slightly angular yet melodic as their prior efforts and is well worth your listen. To me, there has long been something unique and slightly magical in the hardcore punk that came out behind the Iron Curtain and it is good to see the veterans of that era continue to produce infectious and vital music.” No…

Seth Faergolzia – 12 Album Painbow Boxset and Tour Dates 2023

15 March 2023Mark

Seth Faergolzia is a singer, composer, puppeteer, artist, and video maker based in Rochester, New York. He has been active for over 20 years, writing, recording, and touring as an independent musician. Faergolzia is known for his anti-folk/freak-folk style of music, which turns traditional genres like folk upside down and inside out. Faergolzia's musical career began in the early 2000s when he founded the band Dufus, where he served as the lead singer and songwriter. He also played various instruments, including guitar, banjo, and drums. Dufus quickly gained a following for their energetic live shows and unconventional sound.
