Small Town Records Split

Small Town Records have announced that they are to split into 2 parts. One half will focus on the labels' punk-rock and metal bands, whilst the other will concentrate on indie and pop-rock.

A full messege from the label can be read below.

"Since its inception some 5 years ago, Small Town has grown up to be a hell of a lot more than what we ever hoped to initially achieve.

Starting out with the sole aim to help Penknifelovelife, we now find ourselves fast approaching our 50th release and have worked with some fantastic bands and people along the way.

However, over the last 6 months we have come to realise an apparent "split" down the middle of the label which divides two of our strongest genres. With this in mind, we have decided to break the label in two, creating two sides, like a vinyl or cassette tape if you will. We now present you with; Side A and Side B.

Side A will work with the punk-rock and metal bands on the roster (Fei Comodo, Failsafe, Shadows Chasing Ghosts and Templeton Pek) whilst Side B will be home the indie and pop-rock (Telegraphs, Cuba Cuba, Klaus, The Muscle Club.)

Whilst both sides will operate a little more independently, all releases will remain under the Small Town Records name.

To introduce the “new labels” both will have new myspace pages and our main website is currently also undergoing a much needed face lift!

If that wasn't enough, in the next few weeks we will be announcing a digital only release titled "5 Years of Small Town Records" to mark our 5th anniversary.
This will contain our hand picked favourite tracks that we have released over the years. A full tracklist will go public in the coming weeks... watch this space.

Thats all for now. Thanks for reading and here’s to the next 5 years.

Pete, Ben and Alex"
