LABEL UPDATE NO1 2009

2009 is going to be busy. We have two more releases coming out this year, both albums and both equally exciting. Our first of 2009, the split cd featuring Lines in Sand and Cocean is available now via our Bigcartel.

So coming soon we will have the debut full length from Above Them who we honestly believe are the hardest working band around at present. They never stop playing!! There are a number of shows booked already for this year and the band will no doubt continue to add to them as the months march on.

We visited Bigtone Studios in Manchester a couple of weeks ago and we can honestly say that the new material will blow people away. This (if life is fair) will be Above Them's time to finally receive some recognition for all the hard work they have put in over the last couple of years.

We have also been receiving regular updates from Lines in Sand and have in our posession a couple of new songs from them. 2009 will be good. The band are wasting no time in establishing themselves in the UK DIY scene and are notching up some prime shows with the likes of The Lock and Keys, Cocean, This Town Needs Guns and have also bagged a support slot at the 'best venue in the whole wide world' - The Leadmill in Sheffield.

More updates coming soon.....
