Robot Wars-ome

Couldn’t decide between that title or Robot-o Baggio. Did I pick the wrong one?

Who cares anyway, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN WIN THIS!


You may recognise this little fella from the front cover of the forthcoming Freeze The Atlantic album. It’s a piece of indie rock gold right there and he could be all yours, and all you need to do is pre-order a copy of their brilliant album to be in with a chance!

Simply buy a copy of the album from our webstore before the release date (17th  Sept) and then on that day we’ll draw one of your lucky names out of a hat to receive the prize.

And don’t worry if you’ve already pre-ordered, you’ll automatically be entered into the draw. And you’re AWESOME for being so quick.

Good luck!

Freeze the Atlantic NEW ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER!

After an EP, single and numerous line-up changes through tours with Fighting with Wire and Attack Attack! The Surrey quintet, featuring former members of Hundred Reasons and Reuben, are finally ready to unleash their debut album on the world – 11 stand out tracks honed with 18 months of hard-work, finely crafted melodies and the kind of venue-packing balls out melodic power that simply demands attention…

Blending in elements of their illustrious indie-rock past – but still sounding every inch something ‘proper fresh’… Readers of Rocksound will be able to experience it first hand with an exclusive album sampler going out with every magazine in August – which will feature some fresh cuts from the record, as well as an exclusive RS only bonus track… Ben insists on the best for his readers you know… ;-)

FREEZE THE ATLANTIC will be playing a handful of dates with Fighting With Wire in June, in addition to playing various festivals this summer (including 2000 Trees, Southsea & Y-Not) and touring the UK around the album release.

The full tracklisting is as follows:

1. Shivering & Dazed
2. Conflict! Conflict!
3. Broken Bones
4. Le Track
5. Volcanoes
6. This Isn’t Maths, This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll
7. Crestfallen
8. Loses All The Romance
9. The Colour
10. The Alibi
11. Feather In A Hurricane

Roll on September…… AND HOW COOL IS THIS ROBOT BASED ARTWORK! I shall call him Jack (The Robot)

It’s DOUBLE RELEASE Monday

So it’s a double release day for Alcopop! One sad Monday, but two awesome releases from some seriously awesome roster folk. First up we’ve got The Social Club – melody infused punk power from those ex Captain Everything/ Fireapple Red champs – and, fresh from their days in Reuben and Hundred Reasons (and an Irish tour with Fighting With Wire – Freeze the Atlantic! So, in no particular order (we were going to order in handsomeness, but we can’t do that can we..?)

Another few months on and another few months stronger, everyone’s favourite ex-Captain Everythingers, Fireapple Reddians and Wartgore Hellsnickers are back after tours with The Attika State and Saves the Day! This time with even bigger hits, and full page features in Rock Sound and Kerrang… Bastions of taste right? Well you better buy this then. Yeah i’ve written the same on the shop page, but those words were carefully crafted. Sounding somewhere between aforementioned STD and 90s heros of mine Snug, fuck expnsive holidays if you want a perfect summer. This IS the tonic, see….

And if THAT Hundred Reasons text made you moist – well this is gonna make you WET!  A triumphant return to form from Freeze the Atlantic, the epic rock smashers who have taken 1 part Reuben, 1 part Hundred Reasons and 3 parts pure balls out rock and roll… All mixed together to create something massive.. We’re all awaiting news on the album, but this will satiate for now. Proper awesome….

Just hit the shop tab….
