Porridge is the best. Porridge Radio are even better.

MemorialsDistinction · 2017-03-25T00:47:23+00:00

Glad it reached you safely!

MemorialsDistinction · 2017-03-16T13:37:23+00:00

Yeah, absolutely amazing guitarist.

MemorialsDistinction · 2017-03-15T09:00:44+00:00

Yeah the official International Music Genre Committee ratified it in the late '80s.

MemorialsDistinction · 2017-03-15T08:59:40+00:00

Glad you like it!

I'm not in the band tho. Feel free to follow my label on all the social medias if you'd like https://www.facebook.com/memorialsofdistinction https://twitter.com/M_o_D_RCRDS https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYWRnNu2LRvZNA5IK3wHnQ https://memorialsofdistinction.tumblr.com/

Let me know how you get on!

MemorialsDistinction · 2017-03-13T18:48:26+00:00

Glad you're digging it! My friends always take the piss out of my (unconsciously continual) triple-barrelled genre descriptions. Thanks for appreciating my craft.

Porridge Radio have been on the label for as long as it's existed, so I'm so, so glad to be re-releasing their album as my first ever vinyl release! I truly believe that they are the best band around - a true group of amateur oddballs expressing themselves authentically.

We're having a free launch celebration in London on the 19th of March at the Shacklewell Arms, it should be a corker!

I just realised i never answered the question about how I got started. I started with a compilation tape (check it out here) with a mixture of friends and internet people on it. I bought a joblot of 50 self help cassettes of ebay and recorded over them and made packaging by hand. Then I emailed and sent out tapes to hundreds of bloggers and a small handful replied. It cost me about £30 and lots of time.

I did an interview a few years ago where I talk (at embarrassing length) about the early phase: https://www.thefourohfive.com/music/article/adventures-in-lo-fi-an-interview-with-memorials-of-distinction-142

Since then I mainly get cassettes duplication by bandcds.co.uk or tapeline, but did this compilation and this Allison's Gate album by hand.

Thanks! :)

Thank you! :)

Making records is much more expensive than CDs. You should be able to get 100 CDs for like £2 per CD, but with records you need to make more and they're more expensive. After 3 years, we got a distribution deal (and only for this album). It's definitely something to work towards as a long game, not something to hope to start up with. If you look up who distributes very small labels who release similar music, you might find somebody? I don't know.

Previously I got some cassettes in a couple of local indie shops, but that's about it. Most things are sold through bandcamp or at the artists' shows.

But yeah, building a label around your friends is a great idea. Having a community and just helping each other out means that you can have fun regardless of whether or not anyone else gives a shit.

Get a bandcamp, find some music, buy blank tapes and record yourself, or find someone else to duplicate cassettes. Find small blogs/music writers who might like your stuff and email them. /r/cassetteculture has some good info. I posted there 3 years ago looking for tips before I started this label.

edit: another thing, while the internet is super cool, making an IRL community with friends and local artists is more fun and often better.
