2010 is seeing a great lot of celebrations and anniversaries and we'd like to welcome occasional DiS columnists and all-round great record label Big Scary Monsters to the club. Today the Oxford-based label are celebrating their 100th ever release, which is nothing to be scoffed at, especially when you look at the quality of the vast majority of them.
As their 100th release, there's a CD/DVD combo entitled Partied Hard, which is a look back on some of the finest bands to have graced the label with their presence over the best part of a decade. It's out now and you can order and buy it from here. The DVD contains the following tracks:
