Tuff Enuff Records Explained

Tuff Enuff Records was a British queer/riot grrrl record label based in Brighton, England.[1]

History

Tuff Enuff was established in 2012 as a spin-off from associated club night Riots Not Diets,[2] and specialises in releasing DIY punk and lo-fi/underground music. The label is considered to be in the tradition of Slampt Records[3] as well as more recent British queercore labels such as Homocrime and Irrk.[4] First release was compilation album Why Diet When You Could Riot?, which was favourably reviewed in Maximum Rocknroll and elsewhere[5] and included tracks from Ste McCabe and Trash Kit. Two further compilations followed, 2013's Carry On Rioting and 2014's I Know Why the Caged Grrrl Sings,[6] including tracks by Shrag and Shopping, respectively.

The label released a series of well-received cassette EPs by bands such as Frau,[7] No Ditching,[8] [9] Dog Legs,[10] The Ethical Debating Society[11] and Big Joanie;[12] vinyl singles by Men Oh Pause[13] [14] and Slum Of Legs;[15] [16] [17] as well as vinyl albums by Roseanne Barr,[18] [1] [19] Daskinsey4[20] and Ye Nuns,[21] [22] the latter band featuring Debbie Smith, Charley Stone and former members of Mambo Taxi and thee Headcoatees playing covers of songs by The Monks.[23]
