About Me

"Phil doesn't discriminate, he hates everyone equally"
"...like a cross between Chris Moyles and Steve Lamacq - good music and funny as fuck too."
"...quite pretty for a geezer..."
"Phil raps like Dizzee Rascal in 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'"
"One day, someone's going to kick his head in, and I'm going to laugh"


Hello. My name is Pip. Fact.
I run Friends Vs. Records. We release records by fantastic young artists. Our first release will be a super-limited electric pink 7" by the amazing Clik Clik You could do worse than to click on the link above and add us as a friend. That way you'll find out about our new bands, release dates and other exciting things going on under the Friends Vs. Records banner. Rockin'
Apart from that, I'm a twenty year old history student come A&R scout for a label you might have heard of. I like travelling, collecting records, reading and swearing. I'm less keen on accents, small-town mindsets, hangovers and deadlines. My favourite record of all time is The Difference Between You and Me Is I'm Not on Fire by Mclusky. My least favourite is anything by Oasis or the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. If you sound anything like the two aforementioned bands, I wouldn't waste your time or mine. I divide my time between university in Durham, my folks' house in Wolverhampton and couchsurfing round London. Does wonders for my posture.
