Lockjaw Records are buzzing to launch their very own Lockjaw Coffee, created in collaboration with Hastings’ punk rock roastery, Sham City Roasters.

Lockjaw and Sham City have created a delicious full-city roast using ethically-sourced being from La Lominda Farm in the Farallones region of Colombia. The result is a delightful, medium-bodied brew with hints of almond and citrus, ideal for coffee nerds and novices alike.

If that’s not enough to kick-start your day, Lockjaw and Sham City have compiled a one-off digital compilation, available exclusively to those who buy their Lockjaw Coffee. The compilation features Lockjaw Records and Hastings favourites, including Adrenalized, Not On Tour, Fair Do’s, Burnt TapesMatilda’s Scoundrels and many more.

Lockjaw Records are strong believers in the spirit of collaboration, and in supporting other small, independents businesses. As a crew of coffee snobs, they’re also extremely excited to be working with Sham City on this limited roast.

“I’m super excited to be working with a label like Lockjaw for this collab. I love to work with other DIY businesses that are doing interesting things independently of the mainstream; Lockjaw totally embodies that. Coffee and punk have always gone hand in hand, and music undoubtedly inspired me to start my business, so it’s great to be a part of this project twinning the two.”

Dave Cullern, Sham City Roasters

Sham City Roasters is a specialist coffee roastery based in Hastings, UK, where they serve up delicious filter-coffee alongside vegan/vegetarian lunches, cakes and donuts. Sham City has a strong connection to the DIY punk scene, working with a number of bands and artists over the years, as well as collaborating with other punk-run small businesses.

Lockjaw Coffee is a medium-bodied city roast with hints of citrus lemon and almond. The Rainforest Certified beans used are grown without pesticides, fungicides or herbicides at La Lomida Farm, which also dedicates 40% of its land as a forest reserve and sanctuary to local fauna.

The care and attention Sham City Roasters pay to every area of the roasting/blending process allows them to create a coffee unlike any you have tasted before; providing brighter flavours, better quality and a much finer cup of coffee.

Thise masterpiece will hit the stores on Friday, June 14.  In times when people just need to have the most popular status symbols and to follow the latest trends… the music and the message is taking a back seat. Most bands and hardcore kids forget what it’s all about. That’s where “Lost in Life” comes in. Lost in Life were formed during a cold winter night at the end of 2016. Four friends connected by their love and passion for heavy music.
A fresh and talented band that works hard and is ready to take the crown of “European Hardcore” scene. This band is one of the few who piss on all hardcore trends… No clean “Sing Sang” vocals with boring breakdowns… straightforward, angry, emotional and uncompromising metal influenced hardcore with a strong political message that stands for antifascismn and equal rights for all human beeings.
If you love bands like “Get The Shot”, “Have Heart” or “Verse” you will eat this band like a piece of chocolate. Stage dives, sing alongs and high fives with a strong metal influence.

(news-tour update) Wolfrik & The Affect Heuristic Kick Off 3-Week European Tour

0efd971a-0394-466c-8cdd-70798be20ce6

Following the international release of their EP ‘Skeleton City’ on lurid pink vinyl earlier this year, Lockjaw Records’ latest skate-punk proteges Wolfrik are kicking off a 3-week European tour this week. They’ll be joined on the road by Scottish/Belgian melodic hardcore thrashers The Affect Heuristic.

The tour kicks off in Portsmouth and London, before a revered slot at Manchester Punk Festival, then Gloucester and Kent. They’ll then hop on a ferry to take in venues across Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy, before rounding off the trip with an appearance at SBAM Fest in Austria.  Wolfrik have exploded onto the punk scene, delivering an irresistible concoction of punk, metal and thrash. Complex yet catchy, melodic yet heavy: this band is nothing short of a good time. Their EP ‘Skeleton City’ is charged with fast riffs and galvanizing rock vocals that will instantly grab your attention and take you for a ride.

Wolfrik have previously played with the likes of Protest The Hero, Black Dahlia Murder, Belvedere and A Wilhelm Scream, and have made an instant impression on everyone’s who’s heard them.

The Affect Heuristic are equally ready to take the European skate-punk scene by storm. Taking influence from a diverse range of sources, ranging from classic EpiFat acts to their friends’ bands, from tech metal and pop punk, they have created a unique sound that’s as heavy as it catchy.

They bring to the table a wealth of experience from previous bands, including members of A Hero Build, Terrafraid, No Contest, Fair Do’s, Dead Neck to name a few.
