The Shan - Moon Cadaver

🔥Today's video is brought to you by The Shan🔥
Here is one of their Songs "Moon Cadaver"

The Shan formed two years ago bringing 4 different sets of influences from Fuzz, Garage and Punk Rock mixing them together to make a wall of sound ala Iggy and The Stooges. We have 2 EP's and our debut album out now and have played up and down the country headlining and supporting legends such as The Vi*****rs, Dwarves, Conflict and The Lurkers making a name for ourselves as an intense live act building up our fan base with every gig. We are booked solid through until September and have a new line up consisting of original members Josh and Gordon with new members Calum and Lucasz joining us to make the sound more energetic, chaotic and loud! 7 new tracks are ready to go with our sophomore album following this summer. Our debut album "Caesar" gained airplay in the states, Europe and South America and is available on all major platforms now.

Go check them out and show them some love! 🔥❤️ We hope you dig them like we do!

Anyone else bored in isolation!? 😴

Time is going by pretty slowly in the metaphorical Astra Office. Give us some music to listen to. What’s your favourite album of all time, and why?! Greatest and latest please.

I’ll start. At the moment I’m listening to a lot of ‘Truth And Lies’ lately brought out by the fantastic Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown. The bluesy-rock guitar tones accompanied by strong lyrics kick ass!

I think my all time favourite has to be Guns n Roses’ Appetite For Destruction. Could listen to every single song on that album over and over again 🤟🏻

22/03/2020

- CANCELLED -

It is with great misfortune that we announce that both coming gigs at Off The Square, Manchester are cancelled.

This affects:
Crude Virtue 24th March 2020
Røn 14th April 2020

Off The Square has announced that due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19 (Coronavirus), all gigs for the foreseeable future will be cancelled. We support Off The Square in their decision as we prioritise our customers, clients and staff’s health over business.

In the future we will look to rebook both gigs with the same venue. There will be indefinite delay in this whilst we wait for the situation to develop.

Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. For any help please message the page directly.

13/03/2020

STATEMENT ON COVID-19:

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, we are adapting our methods slightly to protect our staff, clients and customers.

500 people in the UK are now confirmed to be affected by the virus, although health officials estimate the actual number to be at least 5,000. This means, according to estimates, at least 4,500 people (though the number may be as high as 9,500 people) have the coronavirus, but may not be aware. The virus is highly contagious, and often fatal to the vulnerable.

Astra Records therefore reserves the right to cancel events at short notice, should the risk of contamination pose a significant threat over those present. If events are cancelled, a full refund WILL be given to customers.

For the meantime, we strongly recommend following the protocol suggested by the World Health Organisation. Remember to sneeze into tissues, and dispose of tissues. Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, particularly after sneezing, or before eating. Venues we hire all have toilet facilities, where taps and soap are available. Alternatively, bring alcoholic hand gel. If you show symptoms of the virus (coughing, shortness of breath or a high temperature) STAY AT HOME and phone 111 to seek further advice.

Astra Records has set up a email for enquiries. Feel free to email us at [email protected] for further information in what we are doing to prevent the spread. For general health queries, contact the NHS directly.

We thank you for your understanding at this time. We will make efforts to reach out to artists and venues to make the situation and environment as safe as it can be.
