Black Market Records was established in the steamy summer of 2005 in a sleepy little country town called Brisvegas. Now, Brisbane has always had a burgeoning underground scene, thriving with the most underrated bands in the land, but a lack of promoters and venues, an abundance of television and poker machines and a general change in the tide of musical appreciation has meant that something had to change…
Nevermind the Majors, here’s…
Black Market Records
For most of the people involved in Black Market Records, this is all we have. None of us have any delusions of grandeur, of fame or of fortune. We are people who live and die by our beliefs. We are anti-racist, anti-ignorance, pro-unity.
Life is not a conveyor belt, and just because something is written on a piece of paper, it doesn’t mean that you have to do it. Everyone is different, everyone is the same. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it.
There are people in the world who have never been full, who have never drunk clean water, who have never had a chance, and unless we do something about it, they never will. They suffer at our expense, they make our shoes and we walk all over them. We owe it to them to keep up the fight. It’s very easy to sit back and not care. In fact, our lives have been designed for us so that if we don’t wanna know about the real world, we just don’t have to pay attention. But this can’t go on.
People are smart, I hear it said too many times, "There’s nothing we can do about it, people are stupid."
But that’s not true, give yourself some credit, look at all the achievements of the human race. Walls go up and walls come down, if we want them to.
It’s up to us, what are we waiting for?.
The power is not in one person, it’s in everyone and it’s only that power combined that is gonna save the world. The human race has come to a point where we have two paths, live together or die alone. It’s your choice...
