We’re glad to see bands still making tapes. Somehow the DIY ethic and aesthetic meet where tapes exist.


The amazing Print Project in Bradford whipped up the covers for these beauties by Unfun out on Not Shy Of The DIY Records. they used an old school Arab letter press to make them at their home in the 1in12 Club.
