65daysofstatic: New album, new label, lots of tour dates!
The end of an era has arrived, as we bid a fond farewell to the always awesome 65daysofstatic! Spending over half a decade working with them has been a huge pleasure. They are some of the most talented, hardworking and lovely people you could ever meet!
65daysofstatic's 4th studio album, 'We Were Exploding Anyway', will be released April 26th on Hassle Records in Europe and Zankyo Records in Japan. Anyone who has heard some of their new songs previewed in recent live shows will attest to the excellence that everyone can expect from the new album. One track even has guest vocals by a certain Mr R. Smith (hmm, wonder who that can be?!)
Big, big thanks to 65daysofstatic for the wonderful thrill of being a small part of their extraordinary sonic universe. And massive props to everyone who helped get their music out into the ears of the world - in particular, Scott Bartlett, whose dedication, affection and tireless efforts for the band played such a huge role in their success. Scott, you are a hero!! Also everyone else at Scream PR and the team at Rocket Radio who got the band so many Radio 1 sessions, I began to feel at home at Maida Vale studios! And Pete Spiby, the good people at Starkult PR (Germany), Fanatic PR (USA)Ghost PR (Italy) and Geert Mets at Konkurrent (Belgium), Debbie Clare, Tom Hopewell and Vuz 'The Vman'. Special thanks to Cargo Records UK for their support and enthusiasm.
Big props to Medlo too, for their rad videos done with very little time and even less money!
We are still selling the back catalog, so if you have yet to complete your collection...
We look forward to the further adventures of 65dos! Bring it on!! Our newest signings Nedry will be touring with 65dos in May, so be sure to turn up early if you go.

introducing Midas Fall!
It is with great pleasure we introduce you to our latest signings, Midas Fall from Edinburgh Scotland. Their beautiful debut album, "Eleven. Return And Revert" will be released worldwide on the 19th of April.
Midas Fall mix elements of post- and alternative rock with subtle progressive undertones, creating tense, shimmering soundscapes led by the melodically melancholic vocals of Elizabeth Heaton.
‘Eleven. Return and Revert’ is a diverse and mesmerising debut, with music oscillating between mellow and epic.
Formed in 2008, the band has previously self-released an EP, toured the UK and received national airplay, garnering them an enthusiastic and growing fan base.
Midas Fall will be touring the UK this spring. More dates TBA soon.
Mar 5 The GRV Edinburgh, Scotland

“The melancholy building of the songs on the debut album from Scottish alternative art-rockers Midas Fall are like a combination of British catalysts Hope for the States and the female-fronted rockers Flyleaf… a stunningly melodic debut” – Ink 19
“Get ready for the sonic architecture that is Midas Fall, taking you on a post-rock odyssey enchanted by Elizabeth Heaton's soaring and Beth Gibbons-esque vocal” – Spoonfed London
