This Friday, August 26, The Anaesthetics will release their debut album 1080. This will only be available digitally at first. It will also be released on CD and vinyl on Friday, September 16.

1080: an album full of idiosyncratic and unpredictable Modern New Golf from Horst aan de Maas (Limburg). The Anesthetics developed danceable elements with orthodox guitar parts and romantic influences, based under the name Modern New Wave.

The band has already targeted several milestones: various major shows in the Netherlands, support acts for Other Lives (US) and Flying Horseman (BE) and the (just not) winning various band competitions (such as Nu of Nooit, Grote Prijs van Nederland).

So it’s time for a debut album. That is why the four gentlemen wrote more than a hundred songs in one year! A job that could only be done with an arsenal of instruments and a high work ethic. Armed with synths, guitars and software, they produced track after track. Not only during rehearsals, but also at home: living rooms and bedrooms were transformed into real music studios. A mega project that is finally bearing fruit, because the ten tracks form debut album 1080 from now on.

1080 will be available on all streaming platforms from Friday, August 26, and can now be pre-ordered via the Gentlemen Webshop. CD and Vinyl will be released on Friday September 16th.

We are delighted that the Dutch rockband Grenadeers signed a record contract with us. First single ‘Single Filter Exit’ will be released in March, followed by an album later this year!

Grenadeers is an alternative rockband from Utrecht. In 2016 they released their first EP Chasing the Stereotype. In 2019 they came with their first full length album How To Fit In. In that same year they played the after party for Smashing Pumpkins in AFAS Live in Amsterdam. From that show they made a live album called Live Wires. Also in 2019 they had four shows at ‘Popronde’, the biggest traveling music festivals in The Netherlands.

Their first EP and album clearly show inspiration from Queens of the Stone Age. With their new EP they will create their own sound. We are really looking forward to give that one a boost!

From now on Gentlemen Recordings and Jack Francis are working together! To start with his new single ‘A Little Love’ which will be released on Friday October 30th. Jack is a folk & americana artist. He is an old soul, a performer who commands the respect of all who see him play. A truly great craftsman of song and a voice that stands out from the rest.

In little over a year, Jack has gone from playing small local gigs in his hometown of Southampton to appearing at major UK festivals such as the Isle Of Wight, Victorious and Stone Free Festival at the O2 Arena.

Beginning to attract the attention of the industry, his debut EP ‘The Van Wyck Expressway’ has been championed by BBC Introducing as well as a number of other unsigned platforms. His self-titled second EP was released at the start of 2017.

With plays on Tom Robinson’s BBC Radio 6 show, Jack goes into the next phase of his musical career with what is believed to be a “game-changing” song for anyone who has been lucky enough to hear it so far.

“Hauntingly wonderful acoustic tunes tinged in old school Americana.” – Southampton Music Magazine

Hopefully we can have a normal, not seated, show in April. We, and also the band, are longing for that kind of show! More info on ticket sales soon! Or stay up to date via the Facebook Event.

Anemone is back! The band of Xander van Dijck (the boss of Cloudhead Bookings with, among others, De Likt on the roster, and ex-guitarist of The Afterveins) and Ricardo Jupijn (founder of The Daily Indie) comes with a new single after two years. In 2018 they released their debut album Silver Star, which includes the hit ‘Where’d You Go’. The album resulted in an extensive tour schedule, with 20 Popronde shows, festival performances and a support spot for Indian Askin and Hallo Venray. And now there is a new single!

Single as a direct result of the corona period

The single is much more sensitive than their previous work. With ‘Separated’ you take a journey through empty streets, deserted parking lots and abandoned cafes. The single describes the lonely and isolated feeling of today’s corona times, but it is just as much about the hope that things will get better soon.

Frontman Xander about the single: “It’s about the collective feeling of the moment. You can do little, you are allowed little and there is little prospect of anything better for the time being. But we still have hope in the right direction. Together we will have to make a difference to get out of this crisis, now there is time for reflection and to think about our future. ”

“Separated” is Anemone’s first release since their collaboration with Gentlemen Recordings. The single will be released on Friday, September 18.

In recognition of their 40th anniversary ‘And also the trees’ are re-issuing their self-titled debut album in a special double-vinyl remastered edition.

Recorded in London in 1983, the album was produced by Laurence Tolhurst of The Cure, with whom they toured during the first years of the bands life.

Considered by many now as a post-punk classic, the album is excellently recorded and whilst the production is polished and meticulously executed, the youthful energy and raw passion of ‘And also the trees’ is perfectly captured.

With the addition of both A & B sides of their first two single releases ‘Shantell’ and ‘The secret sea’, the second disc of the release also features the debut recordings made in 1981 with Robert Smith and Mike Hedges for the self-released cassette ‘From under the hill’, available on vinyl for the very first time and something of a holy grail for both collectors and fans of ‘and also the trees’ and The Cure alike.

The album will also be made available in a single-disc CD edition.
