The No Pressure LP definitely ended up on my top 10 AOTY list for 2022, but before all of that this band had only a couple of promo releases and a debut EP that was pressed on cassette and 7” (and even on CD in Japan if memory serves. This release also came out through a bunch of labels, including being self released, Triple B, Life. Lair. Regret in Australia and Ratel Recs in Poland.
This record comes printed in a fold over sleeve with all the lyrics and thanks printed on the inside. I’m a fan of the stark black and white inside compared to the full colour artwork on the cover. Sadly I didn’t grab this from the label, but bought it from a guy on Instagram who I’ve been following for years. It went super smooth and arrived in great condition.
The record comes with a few extras - I didn’t hold my breath on them all being in there when I was buying it, but the seller assured me they were and here they are. On the left is an insert/ thank you not and to the right is a postcard and a sticker of the art. Of course the note encourages the postcard to be used, but come the fuck on?
This record rips, and it has some of the best that No Pressure have to offer. The one time they hit the UK I missed them and that was no good for anyone but hopefully I’ll catch them in 2023 at Outbreak.
