Well Happy New Year R&R supporters! I hope 2011 is a great year for all of you here! We will be releasing the latest offering from Gnomefoam in the coming weeks.....but..... after this we will be slowing Rack & Ruin down to a more regular netlabel pace! It's been a hectic past 2.5 years, and great fun throughout - however, please expect intermittent releases from here onwards. We'll still bring you some great little EPs and albums of course, so be sure to subscribe to the RSS so you don't miss out!

After a years wait, Vincent Lillis seems to be churning out his work at quite a rate. Not only is this his second release of the year, but he is also starting to heavily promote his sounds on Youtube (clickable link). Be sure to check out this release and the Youtube hits.

Fresh from some excellent Spanish adventure (check Youtube), Bobby Aherne is back with his latest release. This one is a $$$$ only release though, but you've had so many free amazing albums from him that surely it's worth a bit of your money. It costs 10 euros inclusive of world wide shipping, and as always all 10 euros goes directly to the artist. Hit the shop!

Soon you can expect to hear new releases from Vincent Lillis, Chad Golda, and Gnomefoam to name a few. Sooner than that though, expect to see the new No Monster Club appearing in the shop. Buy now, sell for hundreds on ebay in a year or two!!

If you are going to have a work-enforced-nap, then at least have something to look forward to when the hectic schedule eases up a little! Unfortunately, Rack & Ruin will be a little more sporadic for a while yet, but when you have releases like this to look forward to, then it will be worth the wait!
