INTRODUCING: TERRITORIES
TERRITORIES
STREAM 2 SONGS NOW!
Climbing from the ashes of long time Canadian stronghold band, Knucklehead, this new arrangement - presented to the world as TERRITORIES - is arguably better, and bound for even greater things!
To see such potential in a new band and album, and to see how viral the songs have become so quickly, has been inspiring. Seeing everyone that they have touched so far has been incredible. Every single track on this album will strike a chord with someone, and be their favorite song this summer! The full-length was even pushed back to accommodate releasing individual PICTURE FLEXI 7" singles - something that has never been done before.
These tracks each stand on their own as pinnacle signs of musical talent and creative intuition. The song writing is phenomenal, and together as a composition, these tracks paint a picture that is impossible to misinterpret. Intelligent, focused and passionate lyrics drive these unbelievably well written songs home.
This album will undoubtedly be on a LOT of "best of" lists this year, as it is bound to ring out and grab hold of hugely diverse swaths of reviewers and fans alike.
Tune in and get these tunes stuck in your head too - you'll love it!
BOOZE & GLORY
REGGAE SESSIONS VOL. 1
AVAILABLE NOW!
Liam and Mark from Booze & Glory are fanatical about Jamaican music. From Ska to Rocksteady, from Calypso to Reggae. From Trojan Records, Studio 1 to Crab Records. From Desmond Dekker, The Maytals to Jimmy Cliff, from Alton Ellis, Kingstonians to Derrick Morgan. From Pressure Drop to Liquidator, from Long Shot Kick De Bucket to Skinhead Revolt...
Just before completing their new (punk) full length "Chapter IV" (Burning Heart), Mark and Liam, and THE LONDONIANS (UK) laid down these amazing tracks with VESPA, from Poland.
These "Jamaican" versions of "London Skinhead Crew", "Only Fools Get Caught" and "Leave The Kids Alone" are just the start - they were as much fun to record as they are going to be for all of us to dance to for years to come. And the best part is that it is called "Volume 1" for a reason.

NOi!SE
THE SCARS WE HIDE (RE-ISSUE)
REMIXED AND REMASTERED!
Following up their recent full length “The Real Enemy”, there has been a lot of interest in NOi!SE’s back catalog, much of which is out of press. Pirates Press Records is really excited to fill that void, bringing you this remixed and remastered version of the Washington based powerhouse’s debut LP.
Originally released in 2014, and now long out of print, "The Scars We Hide” is a huge part of what put this band on the map. Start to finish, the album solidified the band’s sound - pairing those riveting drums, insane bass lines, and great leads with a true verbal assault.
Coming off their first jaunt over to Europe, and countless local shows and weekenders, NOi!SE is at the top of their game - and while touring full-time pretty much off the table due to family obligations and Matt Henson’s role in the US Army, they are excited to announce a series of upcoming shows and mini-tours for 2018.

ARMADA
BANDEIRA NEGRA 12" LP
DEBUT LP FROM FORMER
BLIND PIGS MEMBERS!
For over two decades the Brazilian punk rock flagship, Blind Pigs, sailed the wild and tempestuous seas of what punk rock can be in South America. They were hailed by many to be Brazil’s answer to Rancid, singing in their native tongue and amazing audiences with the sheer energy and passion of their live performances. In early 2016, after the passing of a key contributor, that battle-weary ship cast anchor, never to sail again. Four of its remaining seamen boldly decided to carry on, enlisting one more sailor to join the ranks of the ARMADA.
Armada will go where the Blind Pigs couldn't go. Fans expected straight-up street punk, and that's what they delivered. With Armada, these five talented and experienced musicians can finally try to play with new sounds, and incorporate new influences - and ultimately play whatever the fuck kind of punk they want to play.

THE OLD FIRM CASUALS
FOR THE LOVE OF IT ALL 12" LP
REPRESSED TO ENJOY FOREVER!
Originally released in 2011, this double LP compiles The Old Firm Casuals’ early singles and EP’s (with the exception of their debut EP). These 24 tracks are far and away the best display of out-of-the-gate talent and momentum shown in the Punk and Oi! scene in a long time - and this album is one that deserves to remain available for new fans and diehards alike.
Obviously due in large part to the talent of the decorated punk rock veterans that make up this outfit, The Old Firm Casuals have become a staple in their own right, and tour-by-tour have become a crowd favorite all over the world; writing a slew of incredible records along the way. Their live show is as energetic and exciting as they get, and the tunes are timeless and just seem to get better and better.
This reissue, which we're proud to make available once again, is available as a foil-stamped gatefold double LP with digital download, and also as a digipak CD.
