Real Sound.Real Artists.Real Blood.

A record label for artists who still plug in. We cut live, play in one room and keep the breath in the vocal. If we can hear a human in it, it belongs here.

The manifesto

Music got clean. Machines took the mistakes out and the soul with them. We're putting the mistakes back.

01✳

Real artists

No committee signings, no manufactured faces. If we can't watch you play it live, we don't put our name on it.

02✳

Real instruments

Wood, wire, skin and brass. Our rooms are full of things that need tuning, because tuning is where the character lives.

03✳

Real sounds

Played by hands, mixed by a human. Perfect is a preset. We're after the take that made the room go quiet.

The sanctuary

Wood. Wire.

Two rooms and a collection of instruments that get played harder than they get cleaned. Every record we make starts here, with the amps on.

Send us the take
you're scared of.

The one with the squeaky pedal and the vocal that nearly broke. That's usually the one. No polished pitch decks required, just the music.
