THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR! 10"
DEBUT EP FROM PUNK VETERANS!
This Means War! lays out the groundwork for attacking a timeless Rock-n-Roll melody with the rawest of Punk ingredients. This EP rises above the political nihilism and indifference plaguing too many bands, and will unquestionably make a mark on the world of music.
Combining extremely well-written stuck-in-your-head riffs with extremely spirited, passionate and poignant sing-along lyrics is clearly what they accell at, and what will inevitably keep these records spinning for a long time to come. It’s powerful and inspiring, and hooky as can be - something a lot of people strive for, but so few achieve.
Vetrans of touring and writing great tunes, these guys know what it takes, and are willing and excited to hit the road, continuing to deliver this message of resistance to the people! So lace up those boots, put up that mohawk, or do whatever you do to prepare for the rage that is coming your way. This EP will just be the start - Don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

THE STRUGGLE
ENDLESS 12"
DEBUT LP!
The Struggle was originally formed as a side project by various members of North East UK punk bands (Gimp Fist, Crashed Out, Major Accident, Geoffrey Oi!Cott) wanting to play something a little different. Taking blueprints from the sounds of the underground, the band put their influences together, initially with the intention of writing just one single.
Having been there and done that, it was clear there was energy and life in The Struggle, and so the songs kept on coming. Listening to "Endless" you can hear those wide ranging sources of inspiration coming together, as short sharp bangers sit alongside catchy street anthems, giving way to darker, melancholic sounds.
Endless is the culmination of four talented and experienced individuals coming together as a band and writing songs their way - without trying to fit any particular mold; just writing what sounds right. The result speaks for itself, and is bound to take this band to new heights.

THE GENERATORS
STREET JUSTICE 7"
NEW SINGLE FOR UPCOMING LP!
The origin of Los Angeles’ influential punk band The Generators dates back to 1997, just a few miles from the skyscrapers of downtown. In the early days, the band hung out and wrote music in an old vacant pizza oven factory, churning out their first batch of songs, which echoed the sentiments of the 1977 Punk spirit. Since then, there have been 10 full-lengths and 6 EPs from the Generators and with 2017 being the 20th anniversary since the bands inception, they will be releasing a new full-length later this year — the first since 2014!! ‘Street Justice’ is the debut single from the album, and takes the band back to the early energy and spirit from ’97 when they started with hard-hitting rock’n’roll influenced both by 70’s UK and 80’s American punk bands.

BUM CITY SAINTS / TOPNOVIL
7" SPLIT
NEW SONGS FROM EACH BAND!
The only thing better than record labels putting together awesome split records is when bands do it themselves. These two bands, TOPNOVIL from Australia, and BUM CITY SAINTS from the Bay Area (CA, USA) found each other thanks to their fans & friends; and have themselves been the driving force in bringing this split to life. True to form for both outfits, there is no shortage of passion and raucous energy on this six song split 7”.
Pairing these two bands may not have been something that either Contra or Pirates Press Records could have predicted, but all of our record collections are going to be better for it. These two bands, and the six tracks fit perfectly together, and there is no question that new fans (of both bands) will be made with this great piece of wax.

COCK SPARRER
FOREVER 12"
FIRST RECORD IN 10 YEARS!
For many, this band needs no introduction, as they are indeed legends in a vibrant scene stretching across the world. At the same time, for anyone not part of that category, they are far-and-away the best band that you've not heard yet.
This full length, their sixth, in 45 years as a band, truly exemplifies how incredible and how special this band is.
Rather than follow the all-too-common trajectory of releasing a new full length every few years, and following it up with tour after tour, sparrer really remained selective with the new music they've chosen to release, and the gigs they are willing to play – and for many people, that is what really sets them apart. There is no ‘fluff’ - ever!
All of their albums are classics, and this one is soon-to-be as well. Hit after hit, hook after hook, sing-along after sing-along and jam packed with substance, “Forever" is an album that will be treasured by hundreds of thousands of fans for decades to come.
One would assume that this is the last full length that we will see from these legends; and a fitting one it is indeed. These best-of-friends wear their hearts on their sleeves, and bring an intensity and emotional component to everything that they do – whether it is recording new tracks, or getting on stage to thoroughly impress thousands of fans with their incomparable and truly spectacular live performances. This album does nothing short of illustrate that perfectly.
Cock Sparrer - Forever.
