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!

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.
