test presses for the REAL LOSERS- Time to Lose 21st Anniversary reissue have shown and they sound gloriously terrible/ terrific! The album has been remixed and remastered, but Fear not! All manners of scientific advancement and technological innovation were used by DR. Gary Jarman, during remixing, to ensure that none of the hiss was lost while elevating the thud. A perfect thud to crud ratio is maintained throughout the 30 + minute listening experience. Out April 12th on TOTAL PUNK

"My awareness of Leeds, England’s The Real Losers was nil until I was checking my spam folder out of sheer boredom yesterday and saw an e-mail from Total Punk announcing their reissue of the band’s 2003 LP Time To Lose. Where was in 2003? I think shacked up in a one-bedroom apartment in Harlem with someone I should have stayed away from? Seeing where I am now, it seems I don’t learn from past mistakes. With a fidelity that makes most Rip Off releases sound like Pet Sounds, these three made a snotty racket so lost in its own dense sauce, it gives Target Shoppers – another UK band of noiseniks of this same vintage – a run for their Monopoly money. Despite wanting to rid my mind of ever knowing about the existence of Long Island, their bash ‘n’ trash take on Billy Joel’s “Still Rock ‘N’ Roll To Me” provides me with little PTSD, so I suppose it’s AOK. Where are these folks nowadays? Eating fish and chips with Phil Todd?" -Tony Rettman

Travelled up from London to Leeds to see them on Sunday - did not dissappoint! Great to them getting a second wind.
