About Me

We are a small indie record label based in the South West of England. Started in 1994, our aim has always been to make available to a larger audience, some of the great music that is being made by the underground pop stars and unsung heroes of the truly independent scene. Our stable of artists include power pop giants Cheese, the Brian Wilson inspired Peter Lacey, the uniquely talented Bitter Little Cider Apples, the always charismatic Steve Wilson and indie pop elders Garfields Birthday. Other members of our expanding family include Cambridge based tunesmiths Hamfatter, Sacramento's cult superstar Anton Barbeau and Los Angeles-based purveyors of perfect dream-pop, The Black Watch. We are also home to London art-poppers Mondo Jet Set, Armenian psych-legends Schnauser, Bristol's Roger Tarry and German indie-rockers Atomic. From a bit closer to home, we have the irrepressible Freak Circus, chart-botherers Electrasy, local boy doing good Si Jubb and Eye!
