Hello and welcome to November’s first newsletter, we have lots going here, so lets get straight to it! oh and thank you for taking the time. We really appreciate it.

Logo for Subplot RecordsThe Official Launch of Subplot Records is upon us.

The Music industry IS changing. Some see it as a significant demise; others see it as a natural Revolve. SubPlot Records isn’t claiming to be a groundbreaking new industry model. It’s not a revolutionary new concept: It’s an age-old tale of pulling together, taking things into your own hands and doing what you believe in.

Ireland, in the winter of 2009 seems a fitting time and place for the birth of a new Independent record label that will live and die by these principals. By paying homage to the very best of alternative music Ireland can produce, living or dying outside the bounds of the templates of the crumbling cultural monopoly known as the music industry. The result is a progressive, edgy, twenty-first century music label that utilizes and embraces the tools at hand – the online and the face to face, the physical and the digital, while establishing uncompromising principles.

Auxiliary to the mainstream -”SubPlot”- is a musician’s label whose purpose lies in being a platform for energetic, honest and simply explosive alternative rock bands. It is not the brainchild of industry veterans, but the brainchild of producers, musicians and fans that share a refreshing and respectful love of music.

*To coincide with the launch tour, SubPlot will be releasing content from it’s catalogue free of charge onsubplotrecords.com, which will go live on December the 1st 2009.

*However prior to that- Exclusive Record sampler Tracks will be serviced to radio and press this month and will include tracks by label acts:

1.Finger smith– “Freakshow”

2. Ladydoll-“Honeybunny”

3. Stone Throwing Youths– “Too Much Information
