Welcome to Noise For Heroes and NKVD Records!

NOISE FOR HEROES is a long running fanzine covering punk, garage and power pop music from around the world, and especially covering underdog bands that you don’t hear of elsewhere.	NKVD RECORDS is a label founded as an offshoot of Noise For Heroes to put out music by the same kinds of bands. Includes a great MAIL ORDER with lots of hard to find overseas bands at deep discounts. (in Adobe Acrobat Reader .pdf format) MP3s - click HERE. Will try to change weekly.

But here's a deal for you - order between $120 and $220 worth of stuff and take $20 off the price. Order over $220 worth of stuff and take$40 off the price. Also there's a long list of over 1,000 second hand singles, lps and CDs here. You'll need Excel to look at the file - for some reason Acrobat won't convert this file...sorry. Check with me first to make sure they are in stock - there's only one copy of most of these things. You can pay for these using PayPal sending payments to the address gardner@nkvdrecords.com. Add $4 for priority mail postage for any sized order in the USA, e-mail me for postage costs elsewhere.
REVIEWS If you are a review junkie, here's the place to go. Heaps of reviews that I've written for an assortment of fanzines over the past several years, covering loads of Aussie and European bands, always with energy, melody and guts! Just posted...reviews written for Big Takeover #53, December, 2003.
Also, not that I endorse Microsoft or anything like that, but because this website is created using Microsoft's Frontpage program (which I hate!), it looks better if you look at it using Internet Explorer.	If you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view a file, get it by clicking on the icon below:
