Time for something new. Over the last couple of months I have been working with a great young band from here in Bishops Stortford - Maystones. The result is a pretty impressive debut EP. Check it here

Powder – Day In, Day Out
Our very first release on May 25th 2001 was an EP by Powder - The Art Of Self Offense. Here's the video we did for Day In, Day Out. It was filmed in Swansea College in Tycoch one rainy Saturday afternoon. We did a promo photo shoot at the same…
Stickman – Jack & Jill live
Back in May 2001 we did a Mighty Atom Showcase show at Barons nightclub in Swansea. We were newly going as a record label and we had our first four bands signed, so we figured we should put on a show. I remember it was a pretty classic evening. Barons…
The Headcase Ladz – Funky Fresh
Now for something different... We have always been best known I guess as a rock/emo label, but that was not particularly our intention at the outset. We just love good music - all forms - in 2003 we put out this record for Welsh hip hop supremos The Headcase Ladz…
The Spill Canvas – The Tide
In November 2004 we released Sunsets and Car Crashes in the Uk, the debut album by South Dakota's The Spill Canvas. I have great memories of their first tour in the UK - including in Bridgend where the van broke down. It took me quite a while to get the…
Hondo Maclean – EPK
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…
The Lucky Nine – Hibernate
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…
Funeral For A Friend – The Art Of American Football
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…
Will Simpson
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…
3 Colours Red – Repeat To Fade
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…
