Cut & Stitch
Indies exclusive LP is on transparent green coloured vinyl.
The new full length album from the awesome, riotous hardcore-punks, Petrol Girls, offering another dose of high-octane, politically and socially influenced band. Fans of Refused, War On Women, Fugazi and Bikini Kill should give this a listen.
Cut & Stitch is a patchwork of different sounds, ideas and feelings. It’s the most experimental record we’ve made so far, both musically and lyrically. Cutting and stitching is a process that can go on indefinitely - stitches are easily unpicked, new shapes can be cut, everything can be rearranged. We cut our patches off of old clothes and sew them onto something else. Continuity is an idea that underpins the record, from ‘the sound does not arrive’ to ‘we’re not finished, we never fucking will be.’ This follows on from the sentiment of our last EP, ‘The Future is Dark.’ Political change is a slow, complicated process that’s often only partly visible with hindsight. Making change is a constant collective process that never stops. Its probably impossible for us to see our place within it or to know what consequences our actions will have. It isn’t as simple or hopeless as straightforward victories and failures. - Ren Aldridge

Cut & Stitch // The Future Is Dark (Hassle 15th Anniversary Edition)
LP is on 'half green / half crystal clear' vinyl. Hand-numbered.
To celebrate Hassle Records 15th Anniversary as a label, they present a vinyl reissue of the awesome hardcore outfit Petrol Girls' latest album Cut & Stitch, accompanied with their The Future Is Dark EP, packaged together for the first time.
We got a call from a friend on site at Rebellion festival having just seen them, saying they were the most exciting band he’d seen since Nirvana and telling us we simply had to sign them. After seeing them for the first time ourselves at 2000Trees festival, we soon followed up from there.
When we visited the band at Peter Miles Middle Farm studio during the recording of this debut album, we knew it was going to be something special. They played the first track to us, The Sound, and said, “ We’re trying to do something a bit different.” They didn’t disappoint. In a very good way. This band are as much rooted in activism as they are in music, tackling social justice issues around gender, race and mental health in their uncompromising brand of feminist post-hardcore punk. In every aspect of what they do they do not compromise. Perfect for Hassle. We don’t give a fuck but we do really care.
