Inner City Grit
Inner City Grit Vol #1
Sep 13, 2009
Inner City Grit is proud to present ‘Inner City Grit
Volume 1’ a 16 track sampler C.D featuring cutting
edge Bristolian acts such as The Black Bloc, Avacate,
Big Joan, and many more. This compilation samples
and mixes all aspects of the city’s diverse back drop
from post punk, IDM, Dub,Trip Hop, Industrial, DnB
and the dam right undefinable
A huge bonus for us while working on this project
is that we came across some hot talent from the
inner cities of Holland, and couldn’t resist signing up
these inventive artists; Cradle, Thor LTD, Mamuschka
and more
The idea of cross pollinating music from different
countries is very exciting to us and something we wish
to expand upon in the future. It’s very inspiring to
directly exchange underground sounds, ideas and culture.
The Compilation will be available for free to download
or limited runs of physical copies will be available at
selected independent stores in Bristol.
We hope you enjoy our compilation!

New Avacate Single MAGDALENE
Sep 13, 2009
Hey guys and gals!!
September 1st we will be releasing a track off the album, 'Magdalene' as a single with an exclusive Kay Sense remix on the B Side called 'Laundry Room'. This is to coincide with our Netherlands Tour and we hope to bring attention to and spread the message about the Magdalene Laundries as a result of this.
The single will contain a leaflet with information on the Laundries and the atrocities that occurred there, to inform people of the injustice which inspired us to write the song, particularly the story of Kathy O'Beirne who we dedicate the release to (unfortunately there are thousands of women like her, but her courage to publicise her story first captured our hearts and attention).
We would also like to thank David Soanes for letting us use his amazing and poignant photography. We are extremely blessed to be able to use images of actual abandoned laundries in order to stress our message further.
To see more of David Soanes work visit: www.davidsoanes.com
To read more on the Magdalene Laundries visit: www.magdalenelaundries.com
To download the single (after the release date) please visit
innercitygritrecords.ithinkmusic.com
or drop us a message on here and we'll post you one.
(NB. There will only be a limited run of physical copies primarily for the tour so ask us quick!)
Thats all from us!
