BLACKBIRD RECORDS
Blackbird Records are home to THE ORANGE LIGHTS.
Pop music comes from many different places. Some of it comes from happy accidents; a lot of it comes from the programmed, laboratory environment of a hit factory. Very occasionally, great pop music comes from somewhere deeper within the soul. So it is with The Orange Lights. Their epic, widescreen guitar soul has melodies that scare the sky and words that come laden with meaning and tug at the heartstrings. One listen and there's every chance you'll be hooked.
The tracks are ideal for film sound-track, , TV and Advertising.

SUNDAY BEST
Rob da Bank founded Sunday Best in February 1995. Originally it was a weekly Sunday night leftfield club hosted under the centuries-old beams of south London's 'Tearooms des Artistes' with an ethos based on an anything goes musical policy plus mind blowing hallucinogenic visuals, scrummy food, beer and cocktails.
In 1997 Rob wanted an outlet for some of the amazing music he was hearing… and Sunday Best Recordings was born! The label in the early days was best known for releasing groundbreaking eclectic compilations that introduced the world to then unknown artists such as Groove Armada, Lemon Jelly and Bent. Since 2002 Sunday Best's line up has expanded significantly to feature an eclectic roster of talented artists across a plethora of genres. More recent artists include Dub Pistols, Max Sedgley, Sportsday Megaphone & Kitty, Daisy & Lewis…
