we're on myspace, say hello, though frankly i can't really be arsed with myspace any more. it's a bit annoying isn't it.

30.01.08
okay so the new ep by the reverse is out now. you know what to do. do it here. and check out the video for the lead track "my lifelong psychological experiment".

08.12.07
hm, i should probably update this website more often. since the last update the 2nd reverse ep has come out and now the 3rd one is nearly ready. the band are closing out this year with one last gig and are putting the finishing touches to their first proper video. and saying goodbye to bass player joe. yes that's me. i'm moving to atlanta georgia. but i'll still be doing this label thing, as much as i do it now anyway. y'all.

04.04.07
the new ep by the reverse is now being sweated over by the wage slaves at the pressing plant, so expect it to be in the shops by the summer. naturally we're pretty excited - it sounds bloody ace.

.29.08.06
"a clean incision" is out now and the good reviews are rolling in - take a look at the release page to read them and of course to buy it!

19.07.06
"a clean incision" by the reverse will be out on 21 august. and the band are already recording the follow up. they have a couple of gigs coming up:

27 july at the archway tavern, archway
7 august at water rats, king's cross

meanwhile, sarandon will be live in session on marc riley's show on bbc 6music on saturday, 29 july, in the afternoon. the compilation album, "the completist's library", including "the miniest album" on cd for the first time, will be out on wrath records on 21 august, with a special, invite-only album launch party on 23 august.

27.06.06
the reverse cds have arrived - and they look absolutely fantastic. we're just finalising the release date, but will probably be around the beginning of august, though you may be able to buy it ahead of that via this website. we're lining up a launch party to coincide with the release so watch this space.
also i've started dabbling in mp3 blogs - mine's called the blackened air.

25.04.06
the echo is your love album is now available to buy! requires just 8 of your english pounds.
the reverse ep will go to the manufacturer's this week.

first update of this year. oops. anyway, lots of news:
over the next 2 months we should have 3 records coming out, each one quite different, each one bloody ace. see here >>>
sarandon are going great guns, with their debut session for radio 1 airing last week. if you didn't hear it then you're a muppet. their fourth 7" will be out soon. more info about them from here.
sadly, with all these releases planned, I had to turn down the opportunity to release the next single by the nightingales - no time or money. gutted. if you don't know who they are, then sort it out now.

30.10.05
the reverse have completed the recordings for their next release, probably a 4-track ep. more news very soon. but we're pretty excited.
we're also excited to be involved in the next (and sadly final) maxton grainger record - a super limited 10" mini album. no release date as yet but it's all recorded and ready to go.
and the new sarandon record is ready and waiting to be released by wrath records. it sounds fantastic, definitely the best yet.

20.08.05
yes, we are still alive.
yes, we are still planning to release a single by the reverse.
no, it's not ready yet.


in the meantime, sarandon have released a new single, this time entirely on Banazan Records.
it's called "the big flame" and it's bloody ace.
we have some copies to sell - order it via the merch page.

10.03.05
oops, 2 months since the last update... sarandon news in brief:
they're back! sarandon have reconvened at last, new songs have been written, and a day in the studio with scissorkicks booked for saturday week, so watch this space for new release news.
in the meantime, you can now buy sarandon and run out t-shirts - check out the new money-grabbing merch page.

10.01.05
first update of the new year, so first of all, happy new year.
last year was a promising start with our first record on the receiving end of lots of good reviews (see the latest from unpopular on the releases page) and some radio play.
this year sarandon are promising to get out and about and do some gigs and more recording. the reverse are finishing off songs for the 7". after that we might do a compilation because it seems like a fun thing to do.
here's a list of run out's favourite songs of last year, in no order, and excluding anything we've been involved in:

imaginary baseball league "statistics" (what a waste)
khonnor "man from the anthill" (type)
the twilight singers "hyperballad" (one little indian)
natasha beddingfield "these words" (arista)
goldie lookin chain "guns don't kill people" (atlantic)
subtle "the long vein of the law" (anticon)
tv on the radio "staring at the sun" (4ad)
frank black (w/ two pale boys) "monkey gone to heaven" (cooking vinyl)
rogue wave "endless shovel" (sub pop)
host "all over again" (hitback)
grand national "litter bin" (sunday best)
sufjan stevens "redford (for yia-yia & pappou)" (rough trade)
systems officer "signature red" (ace fu)
the playwrights "guy debourd is really dead" (sink & stove)
king creosote "snakes from single socks" (fence)
bloc party "little thoughts" (wichita)
modest mouse "float on" (epic)
pedro the lion "let down" (live recording)
probot "my tortured soul" (southern lord)
planquez "otto's courage" (unlabel)
vast aire "zenith" (chocolate industries)
the walkmen "the rat" (record collection)
joanna newsom "peach, plum, pear" (domino)
the killers "mr brightside" (lizard king)
hood "the lost you" (domino)
