Apostles (uk)/anathema
Fight Back Ep
In 1986, The Apostles were actively releasing music, but their split 7" with Anathema on Fight Back Records never saw the light of day_until now. Originally test-pressed but never officially released, the six-track EP finally comes out 33 years later on a 12" via Inflammable Material. Anathema, from New Malden, Surrey, make their vinyl debut with two melodic anarcho-punk tracks, while The Apostles contribute four chaotic and raw songs, including Punk Squat. The release includes a 60cm x 60cm poster with salvaged original artwork and a 32-page fanzine covering lost Fight Back/Mortarhate Records releases, featuring interviews with various punk bands. Packaged in a 350gsm reverse board sleeve with logos by Nicky Rat.
