ABoF News - NME, Q Awards and more...
Congratulations for making it this far and thanks for reading - so what else have we been up to?
Paul and Claire were featured in the November 5th issue of NME, talking about the financial aspects of running an independent company and how they cope on a day-to-day basis. Make sure you pick up a copy this week!
Team ABoF donned their glad rags and headed down to the Q Awards aftershow party to play the first DJ set of the night, and also as an excuse to people watch in the VIP area. It also coincided with assistant Ed's first anniversary with the company - so what better excuse for a party?
Paul drew a line in the sand with the scenes that form around music, bemoaning the rigid rules that need to be adhered to to be considered "true" to them.
The hairier members of Team ABoF (that's Paul and Ed by the way!) took out their razors on November 1st, to rid themselves of their beards in support of Movember.
It's going to be a few days before their 'mos really kick in, so in the meantime it would be great if you could spare some pennies for the cause: Donate to Paul or Ed - every little bit counts!

The pounding beats punctuated only by Ben’s minimalist guitar and Nina’s staccato-like delivery of the lyrics “you have to be the cure”, over and over again. “Viper” demonstrates a different dimension to Nina and Ben’s angular, futuristic sound with heavier guitars and intertwining melodic vocals.

We're delighted to share the news that our friends over at Sourmash Music have included three of our artists in this weeks Sourmash Top 10. It sees ABoF favourites Mausi, The Lowriders and Sweet Baboo rubbing shoulders with the likes of Queen, The Narrows and Limp Bizkit - which is about as eclectic a combination as you can get these days.
The piece features the independently made video for Mausi's latest single, Sol, as well as the free tracks, Big Moustache from The Lowriders and The Day I Lost My Voice from Sweet Baboo. If you've not had a chance to check these out yet, head over to Sourmash Music.
Sol is available to download for free via the band's official website.
Sweet Baboo's EP, Girl Under A Tree, will be released via Shape Records on 19th Sept 2011 on limited 10” white vinyl / Download.
The Lowrider's single, Who's Gonna Save Your Soul, will be released via Adrenalin Records on October 3rd 2011, while the album, Fury will be released on October 31st.
