There may have been a shortage of gigs and festivals this year, but we can’t deny the incredible memories we have from previous years and the excitement for the return as we all recharge for the next round.

Flashback to April 2018, when waterweed were invited over from Japan for Manchester Punk Festival and their first European tour. In some instances, this feels like a lifetime ago but sometimes it seems only yesterday. A lot has changed since then, but what definitely hasn’t changed is the total awesomeness of waterweed. Following up Brightest with another a third excellent full length Diffuse in April 2019 on CD format.

We are super pleased to announce we have pressed, not only Diffuse but waterweed to vinyl for the first time, out today December 4th 2020.

The vinyl is coming on Galaxy effect, transparent Reverent Black Grape with a smokey swirl of opaque pale green stars. We have bundled the vinyl up with an exclusive shirt design featuring photography from Cold Front Photography snapped at the bands incredible performance in Rebellion at Manchester Punk Festival 2018.
