ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Monde UFO announce new single ‘119’ from their upcoming album ‘Flamingo Tower’. New UK & EU dates just announced

Cast deep into number theory with occasional quasi-religious touchstones, ‘Flamingo Tower’  bustles with background sounds overlaid with intimate melodies conjuring plenty of suitably strange illusions; a synthetic orchestra plays baroque pop, a guitar is set to auto destruct and Ray Monde’s hushed vocals carry a bracing narrative

The Nightingales reveal new album ‘The Awful Truth’, listen to the first single ‘The New Emperor’s New Clothes’

The Nightingales release their first studio album since 2022’s much-praised ‘The Last Laugh’. Celebrated in the excellent Stewart Lee-narrated film King Rocker of 2020, where the curtain was raised on the magic of the “long serving punk/alternative rock volunteer” (The Quietus) Robert Lloyd, The Nightingales are as pertinent as ever as they release a poignant tirade on modern times heralded, quite rightly, as ‘The Awful Truth’

Fire celebrates 40 years of fierce independence !

Fire Records recently celebrated its 40th anniversary in style with a full day of music at a sold out event at the EartH theatre in Hackney, presented by the celebrated comedian and long time friend of the label Stewart Lee who called Fire "One of the last great Indie Labels".
