More sad news: Leeds label Brew will close its doors after 6 years in the biz.

The noise/prog/rock label has put out 27 releases over the years, including the likes of Kong, Humanfly, Blacklisters, Castrovalva, Hawk Eyes and That Fucking Tank.

The official statement reads: “We’ve had the pleasure of releasing some incredible records over the years and have been fortunate to work with so many amazing people. We’d like to thank everyone that has ever supported us, bought a record or a t-shirt and spread our music in general. Humanfly’s Awesome Science is our final release and we couldn’t think of a better record to go out on which sums up what we love about physical records both musically and aesthetically. The label will still remain active for a while as we wind things down and continue to take and fulfill orders.”
