RELEASES: Pipedream - New Colours

It's been a long while since I've posted on here, and even longer since WWSBD actually released something, both of which I apologise for. Real life shit got in the way for a while, but this post rectifies both of these problems. We are super pleased to announce that we will be releasing New Colours, the second EP and third WWSBD release from Pipedream from Cardiff City, on tape/cassette.

New Colours showcases Pipedream's more (dare I say) experimental side, and nods its head equally to the likes of Owls as it does to Jawbreaker in parts, but without it being completely obvious. Despite this the pop element is still there, and so is the emo and so is the ROCK. If you thought that last years Shell EP was a progression from the Demo of 2011, New Colours is in league of its own completely. If shell was Pipedream's Unfun this release is definitely Orange Rhyming Dictionary. Pipedream have completely raised the game, and you'd be a fool not to purchase a copy.

The Preorder for this tape will be up for this within the next few weeks, we're aiming for late September release, or early October so don't want to do preorders just yet and leave people waiting for ages for their tape. So in the mean time, download it from their bandcamp for free download. You wont regret it!

DOWNLOADS: Pipedream - Shell EP

Well, what a load of shit I am. The Shell EP by Pipedream has been out for quite a few months now, and I haven’t even posted a download link for it. What a doofus!

So yeah, Shell in a word is great. It’s really hard for me to write about this EP without sounding like a proper biased prick. Not only did we put out this tape, but they’re also some of the best people and best friends too. But believe me when I say, Pipedream are without a doubt the best emo band in South Wales at the moment. Not that there is many emo bands in South Wales at the moment… in fact I can’t really count any! Regardless, Pipedream are without a doubt, in a league of their own. Following on from their demo this EP has documented how the band has matured in a year, and how much they have progressed in the right direction. They’ve gotten a little bit more experimental, as the instrumental interlude in the middle of the EP displays, but not in a pretentious way at all.

I am personally extremely proud to have been part of releasing this tape, and I am extremely proud of Pipedream for not only progressing in the best way possible, but also writing one of 2012’s best emo releases. It took them long enough to write, didn’t it?

PREORDER: Pipedream - Shell EP

Finally Shell, the long awaited second release from Pipedream of Cardiff City, is up for preorder! Why it took so long? Because it got re-recorded about 20 times because Tom probably forgot to save the mixes or something, I dunno... regardless, it's here! Atlast!

Pipedream combine the sounds of Jawbreaker and Mock Orange to create a sound that separates them from other bands trying to do the whole "pop punk" thing at the moment. They sound equally as fresh as they do a band straight out of the 90's. Pipedream are in a league of their own, and they're GREAT.

Pressing info: 
1 Gold (Pre-order - chosen at random) 
20 See-through orange (Pre-order only) 
20 green (band only copies) 
20 yellow (available on and after Dividers / Pipedream tour via us and some other distros)

You can preorder a copy via this link: http://whatweshouldbedoing.bigcartel.com/product/pipedream-shell-ep

NEWS: I've been so fucking slack...

NEWS: New Pipedream track streaming

It's Halloween! And what better way to celebrate than this? We're extremely excited to bring you this exclusive new track from Pipedream's upcoming Shell EP titled "Meander". Expect the EP to drop very soon in tape format via WWSBD! I hope you enjoy the track!

Expect more exclusive streams of tracks from upcoming releases in the up and coming weeks! Exciting!

SHOWS: Football, Etc.

So it's been a while since the last show we put on, but hopefully this'll make up for that. The amazing Football, etc are coming to town on January 4th, 2012 to play Mozarts, Swansea.

Football, Etc are a great melancholy indiemo band hailing from Housten, TX and feature members of the late (and great) Tin Kitchen. They released possibly one of my favourite records of this year, and I literally have no idea what else I can say about them, other than if you like Jejune, Mineral and The Promise Ring, you'll be all over this band. They RULE!

You can check out everything they've recorded here! I strongly recommend their full length "The Draft", and their split with Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate)

Official Website

your neighbour the lair are coming along for the ride too, and are possibly one of the UK's current great emo exports, hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland. Twinkly emo ala Promise Ring, Joie de Vivre... etc. You dig? Check out their self titled 7" and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Official Website

Also playing their/our first Swansea show in 6 months is Dividers. Shouty Punk for fans of bands that don't do eye contact and play side on.

Official Website

Opening up the show and making a welcome return to Mozarts is Cardiff City's best kept secret, Pipedream. Awesome pop punk with a 90's indiemo tinge, for fans of Mock Orange and Jawbreaker. If all goes to plan they SHOULD have their brand new "Shell" EP with them, too. Exciting!

Official Website

All this for just £4. There'll be a facebook event page, and a poster up very soon, but for now mark your diaries and get pumped!

NEWS: New Releases...

So, I've been talking for a while now about new releases which I'm pretty fucking excited about and I can't keep my mouth shut any longer. So here they are...

Some Sort Of Threat / Olive Anne Split
After what seems like years of talking about this, it would appear the ball is finally rolling, and this tape SHOULD be finally available next month. Two of my favourite acoustic artists sharing a cassette. This is going to rule!

New ten speed bicycle!
It's probably been a while since you've heard anything about this band doing anything. Some people even thought they'd split up... well, they haven't. And at this moment in time they're working on a 5 track EP which will be released on tape via WWSBD in December. What it sounds like? Kai says "More Indie" which is perfectly fine by me!

Pipedream - Shell EP
After a storming first demo (A 2nd press of which sold out in a matter of days from us!), Pipedream are back with a brand new EP! From what I've heard already expect some slower sweet emo jams! This band rule! This is going to be with us VERY early in 2012 so keep yer eyes peeled!

We also have a few more releases in the pipeline which we are very very excited about, but we'll post about them closer to the release dates. But thanks so much for supporting WWSBD, and buying tapes and generally keeping this shit alive! Everyone rules!

TAPES: Pipedream - Demo 2011 (2nd Press) Available Now!

They've arrived! The 2nd Press of Pipedream's 2011 Demo Tape is now available on "SNES Grey" Cassette from our store for just £2!

Pipedream are a great new pop punk band from Cardiff, South Wales. Influenced by 90's emo with a bit of Jawbreaker and Mock Orange chucked in for good measure, shit is good!

Limited to just 30 Copies, these will probably go quite quick! The new Pipedream EP will be available from us soon at the end of this year / start of 2012 in tape format. Exciting times!

NEWS: Nothin' to see here...

...just the inserts for the 2nd press of Pipedream's Demo 2011. Coming SOON!

NEWS: Pipedream added to Into It. Over It / Koji show

Our boys in Pipedream have been added to the Into It. Over It / Koji show, at Le Pub this coming Tuesday. Everyone should go to this show. Cereal.

We've only got 1 copy of the Pipedream Demo Tape left, but there's been talk of a second pressing...

NEWS: Back from tour

The Living Dayligths /  Great Cynics / Dividers / Pipedream and Forrest show that we're putting on is just ONE MONTH AWAY! As mentioned in my previous post about this show both The Living Daylights and Great Cynics will be bringing with them new albums! The Living Daylights have just released What Keeps You Breathing on Lockjaw Records, and Great Cynics have just released Don't Need Much on Household Name! Both releases are currently streaming in places on the internet, and are both very much worth your time! You can stream them from the following links:

DOWNLOADS: Pipedream - Demo 2011

A few months ago, there were hardly any decent new bands coming out of South Wales, and all the old decent ones were splitting up, and to be honest, I feared for the state of punk in South Wales. Then came Pipedream.

Pipedream are a new band from Cardiff, consisting of my longtime friend Josh BT (of Question The Mark... you all know him, right?). They play pop punk in the vein of bands like Title Fight and bands like that, combined with the sounds of 90's emo and little bit of Jawbreaker thrown in for good measure, which definitely separates them from other bands doing the same thing at the moment. To date, I believe they have only played one show, but hopefully now this demo is "out there" they'll be playing a whole bunch more!

Also, we're pretty excited to be releasing this Demo in tape format hopefully pretty soon. More news on that, when we know it, but for now, download, and enjoy!
