Bombed Out Records is a DIY, non-profit record label that was born in Leeds and is now
run from a spare room in Harrogate.
Bombed Out Records was conceived in 1998 with the release of the first Joe Ninety 7"
which was closely followed by the debut 7" from Wakefield's Dugong. Founded by Steve
Jackson and Alex Hurworth, the label later enlisted the help of Jamie Duncan. Starting
up your own record label back then was relatively easy: find a band, press a record,
get a PO Box. We also built a website.
The label's goal, as highlighted by these early releases, was to help out local bands
who, as they were just starting out, were being overlooked by the then larger labels
in the scene. These bands were also our friends and so the idea of a Bombed Out
"family" took shape.
Bombed Out remained with it's feet firmly planted in the Leeds / West Yorkshire scene
for over five years, with bands like Dropnose (soon to become The Mercy Suite), Eighty
Six and Fig. 4.0 joining the roster. The vitality and varied make-up of the Leeds scene
at this time, aided by the Out of Spite, Rocktober and Bombed Out's own New Year / New
Start festivals ensured one of the greatest underground music scenes in the country was
right on our doorstep.
In 2002 Bombed Out branched out further than they expected to when Swedish band Kelly 8
joined the fray. The label had been so blown away by this band's demo material that
they convinced the band to let them release it (somehow). Kelly 8's "The Setup" was
released mid 2002 and got 5K's in Kerrang. For a second our dreams of quitting our jobs
and running the label full-time looked possible. Just for a second mind you.
The sad but inevitable demise of some of the bands on which the label was founded and
grew led to the term "The Bombed Out Curse" or "The Dropnose effect". Undeterred (we're
quite stubborn), we continued to seek out and release records by bands that inspired
and "rocked our collective socks off". Thus records by The Take, Remainderfour, The
Leif Ericsson and The Dauntless Elite followed. We even caved in on the idea of
releasing a Homebrew record (note to bands - never give up!) - though on the caveat
that they wrote a few songs that weren't about drinking.
Fig. 4.0Fig. 4.0's last gig in 2004Though some of these bands have also since called
it a day that in no way invalidates the quality of the records they produced
- something we've always been immensely proud of. From the indie-rock melodies of
Remainderfour to the punk-thrash attack of Fig. 4.0 we've always looked for bands with
integrity, something to say and a sense of melody and who also embrace the DIY ideal
(no managers in other words).
12 years on and Bombed Out is still run from a spare room by Steve (who's wife is very
tolerant) while Alex and Jamie help out when they can (Alex is now in New York via Hong
Kong and Jamie eventually got a proper job) to largely unprofitable ends - the thought
of breaking even a long forgotten memory. We still do it as we still believe in the
music... and there's nothing quite like the site of hundreds of CDs turning up on your
doorstep that a) sound fantastic and b) YOU helped make happen. Of course, it's even
better watching them leave.
In these days of mp3's and digital piracy (we're all guilty of it) music sales are
down but we hope that you'll like what you hear enough to part with just enough cash to
keep us ticking over (hint: our distro shop is here)... Our 25th release should be on
it's way soon - here's to the next 25!
To all the bands mentioned above and everyone who's continued to support Bombed Out
over the years - we thank you.
Steve, Alex & Jamie.
