2020 wrap + Xmas competition!

 

 
 

 
Glad tidings!
 
I hope you’re becoming suitably festive now! Well, 2020 certainly had its challenges, but somehow in the midst of it all Upset The Rhythm still managed to release eight records this year! We are immeasurably proud to have eased some of the tedium/stress of 2020 with remarkable new music from Handle, Es, Primo!, Vintage Crop, Naked Roommate, Normil Hawaiians, Sleeper & Snake and The Green Child!
 
We wanted to thank you all so much for supporting us as a label throughout the year, it really has meant the world to us.



 
 
 
To celebrate this level of head-down steadfastness we wanted to host a jovial competition to say well done on getting through this indifferent year. So, for your chance of winning copies of all eight UTR 2020 releases just tell us your favourite/funniest Xmas-pun relating to any of the artists on Upset The Rhythm as a label or who’ve graced our stage since 2003. We're thinking of something of the overwhelming calibre of: Primo! Ho! Ho!, Gabriel Pink, Good King Wenc-ES-las etc.
 
Make us laugh the most and you will win. Send us over your best shot here:
 
upset_the_rhythm@yahoo.com
 
The winner will be announced on Monday 21st December on our socials.
Good luck!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Also, this week we were hailing Vintage Crop for their scorching album ‘Serve To Serve Again’ which was chosen by Steve Lamacq as his personal favourite record of the year in BBC Radio 6music’s end of year list. Tracks from the album peppered the station’s shows throughout Tuesday, so much so that we sold out of the first pressing in our webshop. Never fear though, we have a light-blue vinyl repress due in early Feb, and for the first time a CD version coming out too, both are available to pre-order here now.
 
 
 
 
All that’s left to say is that we wish you every happiness over the Xmas break and we hope you all keep safe/sound and upbeat. Bring on 2021 when we hopefully can turn on the live music tap again too (crosses fingers).
 


 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Thanks as ever for reading and for all your ongoing support!
All the very best with the increasing merriment!
