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.

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…

Police Bastard – Confined (Vinyl) distributed by Cargo Records

25 May 2021Mark

Confined by Police Bastard “Thought-provoking monologues and confrontational lyrics bring you on a cold, doom-laden journey of perpetual war, psychological mind control and disillusionment.” Only 500 copies pressed on Black Vinyl. A big thank you to all Iron Man Records Patrons who helped make this possible.

Thought-provoking monologues and confrontational…
