February 2012
Allo from London. As you can tell this is the first update in a long while but we haven't been sitting about scratching our arses - oh no! We've been lining up a few gigs for this year with the first one taking place on 18/02/12 at The Bitter End in Romford. We're also part of the line up for the Help For Heroes gig in Royal Wooten-Bassett on 02/06/12 which has a great line-up of bands including The 4 Skins, The Crack, Vicious Rumours, Code One and Skingraft. We're in the United States for the 2000 Tons of TNT show in September and in October we're in the Czech Republic for a gig too. We've had to turn down a gig in Sardinia due to work commitments which is a real shame but hopefully we'll have some more gigs come up in Europe shortly.

On the recording front, we're still busy with the album. We missed the original deadline of 11/11/11 which is a shame but at the moment the album is half done and it sounds great so far. We're looking at around March for this to be out now so keep your eyes open for that one. This will be the album cover:

We've also been busy writing new material too and currently have enough for another two albums so expect a few more releases in the near future too.

On the Merch front we've got some more size Large and XL sizes in both t-shirt designs and we've also had the good people from Pretty Shitty Town records knock up some polo shirts. These are quality designs and look the dog's bollocks.

You can get them from here:

October 2011
At the moment, we are currently recording a new 8-track album entitled "Anthems For A Fighting Nation". This will hopefully be available in November - (we're aiming for 11/11/11/11). Also, there is a completely new 4-track 7" import vinyl being talked about, due for release during the early part of next year, all going well. Those of you across the pond in United States, can now get our "Anthems" shirt from here

We've also been pencilled in to play the 2000 Tons of TNT festival next year, so hopefully all of you in the States who'd like to see us live, now's your chance! We're also trying to arrange a mini-tour of Boston and New York too. We'll keep you posted on developments.

We still have a fair few "London Pride" design shirts available, so if you want one, you can get them on Ebay or direct from us. The price is the same.

Gig-wise, it doesn't look like we'll be playing any more gigs this year, as we're busy recording and rehearsing for the new releases and also due to Ciaran's back-problems. At the moment his back is about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

August 2011
August kicked off with the alternative Rebellion gig at Blackpool, England taking place which saw us, Skinfull, Pressure 28, Last Seen Laughing (Denmark) and Breakout playing a great gig. Despite some real hardcore rebelious anarchists and moral crusaders from up the road calling the police and trying to get the gig stopped, it was a great success and a good time was had by all. Next time you want to beat the system and rebel against society, I'd advise against calling the police as it doesn't really do your "rebelious" street cred much good. Anyway, better luck next time you sad fucks.
On a lighter note, our album “There's Lies, Damn Lies and There's The London Diehards” is out now on coloured vinyl from Rock 'n' Roll Disgrace Records.

Black Vinyl	Clear Vinyl	Yellow Vinyl

At present, its only available from them but we're hoping to try and get some over here at some point, when though we don't know so if you want a copy – get in touch with them:

ROCK 'N' ROLL DISGRACE RECORDS

Band-wise, we're busy rehearsing for the recording of our next release which is going to be a mini 8-track album entitled “Anthems For A Fighting Nation” which will be released on our own Middlesaxon Music label. Release date for this is set to be November this year but there's a good chance that it may be delayed until early next year. We'll keep you posted.

We've also got another 12 tracks written, ready for our next full album which will (all going well) be released mid to late next year, again on our own Middlesaxon Music label. Watch this space because its going to be a stormer.

July 2011
The wait for t-shirts to be on sale is finally over and you can now get them from the merch page here. These are the new design "Anthems For A Fighting Nation" which will be the title of our next release. There are also a small number of the "London Pride - Ruck 'n' Roll" shirts left. If you want one of them, get one sharpish as once they're gone, they're gone.

Also, we have a very limited number of the U.S. Import limited edition EP "Great Britain". These are very scarce over here, being released on the U.S. label Rock 'n' Roll Disgrace. If you want one, you'd better get one quick. Once they're gone - they're gone.

We probably won't be using our Myspace page any more on account if it being a big pile of shite to try and update. So as well as Facebook, we're also on Reverb Nation:

28th June 2011
We will be playing The Kuggnas Festival, Nykoping, Sweden this year. We're playing on the Friday night so get your arses down there if you want to see us. The week after, we're in Blackpool for the one of the UK's best Oi! gigs. If its anything like last year's it should be a blinder. We're also down to play the Thug Fest all-dayer in Dagenham, Essex, on 3rd September. Watch this space for more details.
The t-shirts will eventually be put up here on the site. We've had some technical problems with this, (i.e. we're all lazy fuckers) but they should hopefully be up here within the next week or so.

7th June 2011
The two recent gigs in Romford and Harlow, Essex were both a great success - a top night had by all we reckon. Thanks to the Last Resort, Loudmouth Eddi and Last Orders for Friday and to all the bands who took part in the Help For Heroes gig in Harlow on Saturday. All in all over £1,200 was raised so well done to all who attended.

The 4-track EP being released on Rock 'n' Roll Disgrace Records in the U.S.A. is almost ready for release both here in the U.K. and the U.S.A. - as soon as its available we'll let you know. You'll be able to get it from the usual distributors as well as direct from here.

The new t-shirts (as well as the old designs) are selling very well indeed and we hope to get some more printed up very shortly. We will eventually get them up on here so you can buy them direct from us. We'll let you know when this is up and running (should be in a week or so's time).

23rd May 2011
The new album is selling well and we're getting a lot of good feedback from it. If you haven't already got a copy you can buy it from a number of online outlets or you can get it direct from us here.
There will also be t-shirts available to buy from us direct here very shortly, including a smart new design shirt too so watch this space.
The band have already finished writing their next mini-EP “Anthems For A Fighting Nation”. This will be an 8 track EP which will be recorded over the coming months in Spare Room Studios, Wood Green. This is scheduled to be released on 11th November 2011.

There will also be a matching t-shirt design coming out very shortly which you will also be able to buy direct here.

We also have a couple of gigs coming up this week, on 27th May at The Bitter End in Romford (with The Last Resort, Last Orders and Loudmouth Eddi) and also the Help For Heroes benefit all-day gig at The Golden Swift Pub in Harlow on 28th May. See you there.

23rd April 2011
The new album – “There's Lies, Damn Lies and There's The London Diehards is out today. It features 11 tracks of no compromising, un-PC, London Oi! Music. Skinhead music as it should be. If you want a copy, get in touch or vist the merch page (which is going to be updated shortly). If you're easily offended then this album ain't for you. We collectively suggest you do one sharpish.

24th March 2011
We have a limited edition 4-track 7" vinyl EP due for release very shortly (more info on the release date when we get it) entitled "Great Britain". This will be pressed in the U.S. and will only be available from the Boston based label Rock 'n' Roll Disgrace Records. This is the same label that has relased recordings by Hammer and the Nails, Superyob, T.H.U.G. and the Concrete Gods.

The tracks on this release are as follows:

1. City Streets
2. One Way of Life
3. No Compromise
4. PC Mafia

There are going to be 100 pressed on clear vinyl and 400 pressed on black vinyl.

We also have some tracks that have been released on compilation albums:

The Underground Collective Volume II 29-track album is released on Brown Bag Propaganda Records. Our track on here is "Organise". Other bands on the album include, Scene of Irony, Angy Bootboys, I Stabbed My Landlord and Complot Soviet. Some keyboard warriors have stated that because the band Angry Bootboys are on this album that somehow The London Diehards are a nazi band. We're sure Scene of Irony and all the other bands on the album will be glad to know that now, according to some internet joker with no brain, they are now automatically "nazis". Get a life you fucking mug.

Our track on here, funnily enough is "London Town". Other contributors include The Debt Collectors, Monkish, The Jack Brews, Condition Dead and The Sterilizers.

They've finished recording their first full studio album “There's Lies, Damn Lies, and There's the London Diehards” which should be out in April on the band's own label "Middlesaxon Music". Some of the songs you may have heard before if you've caught the band live. The full song listing is as follows:

	1. Ruck and Roll 2. Outcasts 3. Time to Kill 4. Stand Up and Be Counted 5. P.C. Mafia 6. Don't Blame Us 7. One Way of Life 8. King of the Concrete Jungle 9. Organise 10. Weekend Warrior 11. Don't You Ever Let Me Down

The band have also been busy rehearsing with two new members, Quinn who drums with Loudmouth Eddi and Tim who plays guitar for The Sterilizers. The first gig with the new line-up is in May at The Bitter End in Romford and the next gig is the day after at the Help For Heroes benefit gig in Harlow, Essex.
