An update on the Slimpig Greatest Hits album

Well, I’m not quite sure that’s what it’s going to be called but I’m sure you get the idea by now.

This is just a quick update to let you know how we’re progressing. Obviously we have all the Slimpig tracks ready to go on it, but what of the cover artists? They’re coming on nicely! Duke Ukem have successfully recorded their cover (I’m not going to tell you which artist is doing which track, that will ruin the fun!) and Chris Flood’s is sounding spectactular, with a few little bits of mixing left to do.

Anna Goldsmith, Swound! and Suspect Package are working on theirs at the moment while I’m pretty chuffed to announce the Higgins Brothers have entered the fray and offered to record a track too. I can’t tell you how even more psyched I am on this album now.

So basically it’s coming and it’s going to be amazing. In other news we’re gearing up for the release of This Years Winner Is’s debut Ep ‘Always Goes Down Smooth’ so I’ll be talking about that and plugging it and what-not in the coming weeks.

That’s how for now.

New website and latest release news – and a lovely Christmas present!

Here we are then!

Take a look around the new Section Five Records website, I hope you like it. There’s now a section for all the Artists on our roster with links to find them on the internet and also where you can buy or download their music from (including our latest ’signing’, see below!). As well as this we’ve got the updated shop which is really easy to use and all transactions are done through PayPal, so you’re safe and secure at all times. You don’t even need a PayPal account to pay for your stuff, just a credit or debit card.

Everything is at a bargain price so get shopping!

In even greater news punk rock legends Slimpig will be releasing an album of all their greatest tracks along with an exclusive collection of Slimpig covers recorded especially for the album – featuring local artists Chris Flood, Anna Goldsmith, Suspect Package and Duke Ukem. Also on there are the lovely Manx fellas Swound!.

To celebrate this coming release in 2010 the lads have offered up a free MP3 of the track ‘Lifestyles’ from their first album ‘Slimming With Pigness’ for you all as an early Christmas present! You can download it by pressing this big chunky button below (it’s in a .zip file):

Slimpig - Lifestyles

That’s everything for now, hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and stay tuned for more great news from Section Five Records in the new year!
