  • Bio

    23db Records was founded in 2004 by Assemblage 23 (www.assemblage23.com) frontman, Tom Shear. It was originally conceived as a label on which Shear could release some less commercial side-project material. However, it would end up being Seattle-based backadntothelefts (www.battl.info) debut album, Obsolete, that ended up acting as the debut for the label as well. Even without the benefit of advertising or extensive promotion, the album sold very well. So well, in fact, that the band gained the attention of Metropolis Records, who reissued the album. In 2006, 23db released the debut full length album from Nerve Filter (www.nervefilter.com) , a side project of Assemblage 23. Nerve Filter had previously released several compilation tracks and remixes for bands such as Scar Tissue and Converter, but in its nearly ten year existence, a full album had never been completed. The release was met with positive reviews from the press and many fans were surprised by how drastically different from Assemblage 23 the project was. Later in 2006, Shear heard from an old friend, Charles Rehill from the band Lost Signal (www.lost-signal.com) . Shear had produced Lost Signals previous album, Catharsis, and Rehill was asking for some production advice. However, when Shear heard the album, he took interest in putting the album out himself. The pre-release buzz around the album is already significant, and it seems certain to be another successful release from 23db. Only time will tell what the future holds for 23db. At least two possible releases are being discussed at the moment for 2007, and a surprise digital-only release is scheduled for the end of 2006 as well. (Please note: 23db does not accept unsolicited demos. Sorry!)
