Out now – Olympians – “Adventure Gun”
There are many things that usually make the first couple of days of the working week a bearable experience, and I can categorically say that for us all of them involve coffee in some capacity – mostly drinking it, sometimes just thinking about it.

Welcome to the family: Without Maps
It seems like 2013 is the year where we get committal, finally bringing bands into the fold that have been unofficially a part of the Barely Regal family for a good while now. Nottingham lads Without Maps maybe haven’t been on our radar for quite as long as our last “signing”, Theo, but they’ve been a … Read more
