Indie record label and studios
Here’s another rarity. This is an EPK I put together for Hondo Maclean I guess sometime in 2003. We used to mail these EPKs out on VHS tapes. We hadn’t discovered YouTube at that point. Anyway this clip has some interviews and some nice bits of video of the band live and in the studio. […]
In March 2005 we released an EP for The Lucky Nine – they were a bit of a British alt rock ‘supergroup’ including members from earthtonne9, A and Hundred Reasons: Colin Doran, Richie Mills, Ben Doyle, Jay Rowe and Daniel P. Carter. Daniel, amongst many successes in the music industry in various bands and as […]
Here’s a bit of a rarity – it’s a video I put together for the Funeral For a Friend EP release back end of 2002. Essentially just a collage of a bunch of early FFAF gigs we had videoed. Some quite cool early footage of the band in here. At the time I don’t think […]
Great shot of Will Simpson from Brigade sitting in the label office in Mighty Atom around 2005 I guess. I love that he has an Aconite Thrill t-shirt on and there’s God Machine by Liberty 37 sitting on the table. Will got married yesterday so big congrats to him and his wife Sinead and best […]
At the start of 2003 Funeral For a Friend had been picked up by Sanctuary Management. They had another band on their roster who were looking for an indie label to put out a single as the start of a reunion tour and would we be interested. That band turned out to be 3 Colours […]
So back in 1999, this is where it all started. This video of Roger’s band Pointblank was filmed in the studio in his converted garage in Caswell. I had just got a DV camera – this was my first attempt at a video. It was in this room around this time we decided to start […]
Back 14 years ago we released the Hollywood Ending album Praying To Fiction. This was the second video we did off the album. Directed by Adam Mason. Album produced by Joe Gibb and recorded at the Mighty Atom Studios in Swansea. Another gem 🙂
Today I have a Goatboy video for you – The Beast That Licked Me – from the album Superlube – this is an early mash up that Rhod Thomas put together. See how many venues you can spot in this one….https://youtu.be/2kiV8LftSiw
Here’s the video for Liberty 37’s track Jihad from God Machine – released 29 October 2001. Directed by Tim Mattia. I recall it was a very long day travelling up to Islington, London for the day to film this and coming back the same evening, and running around London trying to find equipment. The point […]
Earlier this year I mixed a Brigade live set that was recorded back in 2006. Here’s one track from the set: https://youtu.be/BYeikMDcbG4. The complete album is available on iTunes. If you’d not recently caught up on Brigade they released a new EP this year – This Is Not For You. definitely check it out – it is epic. […]
