11/05/2010 - T-SHIRTS?

We totally have t-shirts!

Nosferatu D2, Benjamin Shaw and Audio Antihero t-shirts available from the webshop! There's also some cunning deals/steals. The t-shirts were Printed by Monster Press. The Audio Antihero design was done by Cassie P Design, the Nosferatu D2 design was crafted by David Broadbent (who did the album art too) and Benjamin Shaw did his own morbid design. 

Numbers are quite limited (less than 50 of each design).

05/05/2010 - INCOMING WITH A VENGEANCE (we have t-shirts)!

Here's the final in our 'sneak previews' (milking it? us?) for our new t-shirts (scroll down for the others). 

These will all be available to buy STAT (next couple of days)! Keep up to date on TWITTER.

This t-shirt was designed by a Mr David Broadbent who designed the Nosferatu D2 album and the art for the upcoming Superman Revenge Squad EP, "Dead Crow Blues".

04/05/2010 - INCOMING-ER!

Here's your second sneak peek at the new t-shirts we're having done. Benjamin Shaw in all his gory glory. I hope to have a preview of the Nosferatu D2 t-shirts online tomorrow.

These will be available to order soon (next few days). 

Rock On!

23/04/2010 - INCOMING!

As the subtle illustration above might hint, we're getting t-shirts done. 

In fact, we're expecting to have them by the middle of May. We ain't no April fools.

The above design is courtesy of a fine young designer by the name of Cassie Podish of Cassie P Design (found out more about her HERE), she's terrific, and former clients include Asian Man Records (who did all the really wonderful early Alkaline Trio records).

We've also got rockin' designs (that I might sneak you a peek of later) coming in for Nosferatu D2, by David Broadbent (who else?!) who did the art work for the Nosferatu D2 album and the upcoming Superman Revenge Squad EP - and Benjamin Shaw who made his design himself (it's as gruesome as we've come to expect from our pox-ridden friend).

These will be available to order soon from the shop, keep up to date with us on here or on the Twitter. 

Thank you.

P.S Anyone hear Nosferatu D2 & Benjamin Shaw on Tom Robinson's BBC 6 Music show last week? That was awesome!

02/04/2010 Birthday Blues/April Fools

As I face the final day of my 22nd year, I thought I'd better do another site update. 

Firstly, you can now get Nosferatu D2 & Benjamin Shaw CDs from Sister Ray in London (one of my favourite record shops), the Southern Records webshop (DIY heroes) and the Jezus Factory online shop (the awesome label who release all the Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences stuff). Go to the shop page for links and more information.

If you're down in Australia (a place where sharks and crocodiles actually fight) you can order the Benjamin Shaw EP from Half a Cow Records, which is run by Nic Dalton of The Lemonheads & The Gloomchasers. Which is really nice.

Also, Ben Parker of Nosferatu D2 is preparing his new Superman Revenge Squad EP for release on Smalltown America Records. It's called "Dead Crow Blues" and will feature Adam Parker on drums too.  Keep an ear to the ground for that one.  

T-shirts coming soon too. Just trying to find the time!

Stay in touch!

21/02/2010 Haiti Appeal

Some of you may already know this, but Audio Antihero have put together a small Haiti appeal over at Just Giving: HERE. For more details please follow the link, there's free stuff and Nietzsche quotes in it for you. Please consider it.

Beyond the HUGELY important, comes the very very nice.

Firstly, Benjamin Shaw (who has lots of gigs coming up, do have a look at his myspace) has been confirmed for a spot on the upcoming Pavement tribute album, entitled 'Tell Me A Word That Rhymes With Pavement" and released through Filthy Little Angel Records (who coincidentally once released a compilation with an old Nosferatu D2 song on it too). Benjamin will be contributing "Starlings of the Slipstream". Other contributers include Jack Lewis, Cats Cats & Cats, Captain Polaroid, International Karate Plus and Horowitz. 

Nosferatu D2 got a really, really nice 9/10 review from Drowned in Sound this week. Chuffed.

And last but not least, Cardiff residents can now pick up our records from Spillers Records, the oldest record store in the world. Which pleases us no end.

17/01/2010 New Year: Nosferatu D2 bootleg and all star gig

Power to the people, it's a new year.

Just dropping in a wee update to say that we're still (artfully) rocking out in 2010, and we want to thank you all for your support over the last few months. You've made me things very exciting.

As a 'thank you', we've uploaded a good quality Nosferatu D2 'bootleg' to our Online Antihero Blog. Just click 'Features' above to find it. It was recorded at their last gig, supporting Los Campesinos! and Sky Larkin at The Spitz. It even features a song that didn't make the album, 'Man At War With Himself'.

So, it's 2010. We've sold a few CDs, had a lot of good reviews, had one terrible review, met some nice people, and even got featured on a few End of Year lists (exciting). This year will be a good one.

OH! And LONDON CALLING! Benjamin Shaw and Superman Revenge Squad (featuring Ben Parker of Nosferatu D2 on vocals and guitar) will be sharing a stage at the upcoming Witches Hat Club Night. 
22nd of Jan, Gallery Cafe, Bethnal Green, Free Entry and Vegan Food.

22/11/2009 Free Christmas Single

Dear John,

 Here's your early Christmas Present, everyone's favourite 'Alternative Christmas Single' - Nosferatu D2's "IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME (FOR GOD'S SAKE)"! It's available now as a free download from THIS IS FAKE DIY. You can lie cheat and steal your mp3 from: HERE! 

Awesome? Awesome. Check out our blogger or myspace for more details, but we're really relying on you lovely people to spread the word. Whether you're 'tweeting', posting on forums or demanding it of your favouriting podcaster - we want to get this song out and about for the festive season and you truly are our Obi Wan Kenobis. We thank you!

Oh, and while you're looking at This is Fake DIY.co.uk, you may want to have a browse around for an interview with us, a free non-LP mp3 from Benjamin Shaw and a DIY TV music video for Shaw's "WHEN I FELL OVER IN THE CITY" (also on youtube & vimeo).

10/11/2009 Rocking Retail

Hello there Evil-Robot-Us'!

It's been a very exciting first couple of weeks for the ol' Audio Antihero; a blog from a Mr Gareth Campesinos! about Nosferatu D2 saw us make a few new fans (right on to you), we've been getting some lovely press and even some airplay. 

The biggest revelation at the moment though has got to be ROUGH TRADE (London) and PICCADILLY RECORDS (Manchester) taking stock of our releases. So if you're in either area and would like to support some great record stores rather then paypal please do stop in.

We've also got to extend our thanks to This is Fake DIY who have been very good to us lately. Interviewing us, showing Benjamin Shaw's awesome music video on their DIY TV and hosting our tracks on their Free MP3 section. So look them up for some free music.

15/10/2009 Greetings fellow Antiheroes

After months of cussing and fussing, Audio Antihero is finally in business. That's right, you may consider us “Launched”. We'll probably schedule some really rocking live events to celebrate. 

Nosferatu D2's incomparable debut and Benjamin Shaw's deafeningly diseased “I Got the Pox, The Pox is what I Got E.P” are both available to order now. This is very, very exciting.

Sign up to our mailing list/myspace/facebook/twitter/yaddadeyadda for news, treats, freebies, competitions and a world of awesomeness.

Welcome friends, to Audio Antihero, the hip new label that makes Sub Pop look like Cyberdyne.
We've everything to prove and nothing to lose.

Remember to say ‘Hi'.
