Champagne Riot will be releasing a double a-side single via UK label on September 27, or at least so says Off the Radar. The featured tracks will be "Heart stab" (see the aforementioned link for a d/l) and "A friend of a friend" and no, I'm not sure if XXX Records is the legit name or just a placeholder, but it's certainly the least original name I've heard in ages if it is indeed a new English label.
