KRAMPUS IS COMING - Volume 3!

RELEASED TUESDAY DECEMBER 6TH 2011



One Inch Badge’s annual Xmas ‘KRAMPUS’ release returns again for 2011
, this time in the form of an extremely limited-edition (to just 25!) USB Xmas Jumper designed by Thom Mountford!!

Each Xmas Jumper comes with a hand stamped and numbered One Inch Badge tag and a limited-edition Krampus is Coming Vol. 3 USB flash drive, featuring 6 of our favourite bands of 2011 all offering up their own unique take on the ‘Christmas hit’, as well as Thom Mountford designed album artwork and an OIB Records sampler.

Taking its name from the mythical Austrian “Anti-Santa”; the evil and wicked Krampus deity, this series of festive collections began in 2009 with a lushly Xmas wrapped CD designed and painted by Thom Mountford that sold out in the batting of an eyelash. This was followed in 2010 with the release of ‘Krampus is Coming Volume 2’, a limited to edition (to just 60) USB stick in a cracker with hat, joke and gift! OIB have now expanded this vision even further to deliver a seasonal Xmas jumper USB package, featuring unique musical contributions from…

STUART WARWICK [www.stuartwarwick.com]: Heartbreakingly beautiful – the words that spring to mind when you hear Stuart Warwick sing. Having performed alongside the likes of Bat For Lashes, Beirut, and Zola Jesus, Stuart’s hauntingly simple, yet slightly off kilter take on ‘Silent Night’ is ethereal and elegant. Stuart Warwick (formally Jacob Stories) is a true Brighton hero and this marks his first physical release since 2010’s stunning album ‘The Ordeal’.

MUNICH [www.facebook.com/thisismunich]: Brighton five piece Munich have been proving their talent over the last few years by writing great anthemic pop tunes, playing such festivals as Glastonbury and support slots for Bombay Bicycle Club, Morning Parade, Mona, Graham Coxon, and Chapel Club. Their epic widescreen sound is tonally rich, passionate rabble-rousing modern indie at it’s very best.

RUM COMMITTEE [www.rumcommittee.com]: Hailing from the murky depths of Booze Town itself, Rum Com are an eight-man hip-hop army, with the refreshingly inventive beats, razor-sharp rhymes and the swagger of a herd of elephants.

SOFT ARROWS [http://softarrows.blogspot.com]: The plan was simple enough, “do a band”. Two guys go into a run down practice room and emerge months later as Soft Arrows. Plan accomplished. Taking the raw, direct energy of a garage band and the expansive, wavering melodies of shoegaze and playing in near darkness, Soft Arrows take ownership on the limitations of being a two piece band and turn them to their advantage, creating big sounds and claustrophobic vibes.

ROOKS [www.myspace.com/intherookery]: Genuine, full-throttle, out-and-out garage punk, sweating bullets and spitting blood like there’s no tomorrow. Rooks take no prisoners and don’t hold back.

JIMI SWELLS [www.soundcloud.com/nullifier]: The NULLIFIER front-man steps out in his solo guise with this finely-crafted blissed out dream pop ballad of modern whimsy and acerbically self-deprecating wit.

KRAMPUS IS COMING VOLUME 3 is limited to just 25 jumpers and is only available from www.oneinchbadge.com, Resident Music Brighton (01273 606312), Boy Parker Brighton (01273 687768)
