Marz Imprints

July 2009. Serious music for people in big red glasses...

Kevin Harrison taught me everything I know about going off in the opposite direction (musically, that is). He is now producing work out of Marz Imprints - please pay him a visit where you will find a lot of great music, including some of our early experimental, musical and noise collaborations (Neo, the Urban Terrorists).

Incidentally, please feel free to contact us to discuss releasing your own work - or forming a micro-label alliance, particularly if you point in the right musical direction somewhere along the Coventry/Leicester axis.

Facebook round-up June 2009

June 2009. More stuff to listen too

Lee N. Retna and the Spirals - a vehicle for songwriter Neil Hunter (ex of Coventry bands The Baptists, The Tendermen, Monkey's Grin and others) . If you don't come away thinking Hangover Hotel is pure genius then you are not listening properly.

isotope-x are previewing their new album 'riot in dub' until its imminent release. This is great music by Kevin Harrison (see Marz above) assisted by Neol Davies (The Selecter) and Horace Panter (The Specials)

Neil McNaught has some nice pieces up - it would be good to hear some new stuff soon. Finally, I've put up a Neophyte Recordings page, but I'm hating the interface.
