Alcopop! is a brand new record label-come-club night that aims to remind the generation of 20-somethings that music is more than just an excuse to shed a tear, and to welcome the new wave of musical devotees to the splendour of independence, happiness and love.
We're passionate about modern catchy, joyous pop songs, hazily remember the magic of the mid-late 90s indie scene, and recall upon request the big hits by bands such as Llama Farmers, Midget, Cable, Symposium and Ooberman as easily as those of The Young Knives, Postal Service, TV On The Radio and Mates of State.
Alcopop! sounds like everything that's good about life!

ALCOPOP015 - 1 track MP3 single - Released 12.05.08
Debut single from this thrilling up and coming band. The punch of At The Drive-In, the youthful exuberance of Enter Shikari and the excitement of being your new favourite band. Buy this single from iTunes now and get ready for the 6 track CDEP, set to follow in July.
ALCOPOP014 - 2 track 7" single - Released 07.04.08
New single from Hush The Many (Heed The Few). Watch the brilliant video here. The Mirror said "a song that hits between the eyes in a compelling and blistering fashion... The Revolve-lution starts here".
Brilliant new single from the cheeky Liverpool lads, taking a slightly tongue in cheek look at their hometown. The 2 track 7" (and free track CD) comes packaged in cardboard sleeve which can be folded into a matchbox (including sandpaper strip!)
Brilliant compilation tape (that's right, tape!) featuring Dartz, Johnny Foreigner, Sky Larkin, The Honey Brothers (feat. Adrian Grenier AKA Vincent Chase from Entourage), Jeremy Warmsley, Sam Isaac and loads more. Click for full info.
Debut single from one of the UK's fastest rising singer-songwriters, as seen at Glatonbury, Latitude, Truck and BBC Electric Proms this year. Joint release with Big Scary Monsters Records. (Myspace)
Brilliant Weezer meets Pavement style pop from Brighton. This is their debut single to coincide with their October time. As heard recently in session on Radio One. (Myspace)
Hailing from Burnley. Lucy writes beautifully delicate acoustic songs about her 19 year old, female world in a way which can't help but make you swoon, basking in the sunny rays of summer love. (Myspace)
Wakefield based two-piece make their very welcome return with this brand new four track single. Lush guitar / organ-led pop songs from the Pylon and ex-Dugong members. (Myspace)
ALCOPOP003 - 6 track 3" compilation CD - Released: 29.01.07
A stunning little compilation CD featuring 6 of our favourite bands squeezed into one little 3" CD. Midget, Ooberman, Family Machine, Popular Workshop, Foxes and Beauty Skool Droupout.
DSP are probably the perfect tonic to help you clutch onto the forgotten summer joy. Imagine a popped up, punked up version of Minus The Bear. (Myspace)
The first in our six part series and what a way to kick things off! Imagine a cross between a Nintendo and Weezer and you're half way towards the incredible pop of Encyclopedia! (Myspace)
Basically Alcopop! is all about the simple pleasures of brilliant music. Mixing the classic indie-pop favourites with the inspired melodies of cracking new stuff, Alcopop! is not just a record label - It's a community of kids who know what music they like and want to share it with others. It's a club night, singles club, realisation of a dream and more.
A cacophony of the juiciest indie that fills your heart with joy and your head full of ideas... The kind of stuff that will inspire you on an all day summer bender drinking a calamatous cocktail of alcobooze in the park with your mates... Or accompany your happiest moments as you enjoy a moonlit stroll with the boy/girl (delete as appropriate) of your dreams.
Just look what the press has said about us....
"Will you tell me more about Alcopop? I really like that name a lot." Andrew WK
"peddlers of low rent indie crud" Our good pals, New Noise
"Nasty record company"Channel Four
"My mission was to unravel the mystery of alcopop which has been accused of spawning worldwide armies of glassy-eyed high teenage dipso maniacs who neglect their homework assignments to chill in the park with their peeps over a few Mikes Hard Iced Teas, Smirnoff Ices or Bacardi Silvers"The Wave Magazine
"Shops have been told not to stock a new "aphrodisiac" alcopop dubbed "Viagra pop" by campaigners"BBC (June 2003)
"With hindsight, it is perhaps surprising that alcopop took so long to materialise, but then that is true of all good ideas. Once you are acquainted with something truly inspirational and therefore by definition quite a simple, straightforward concept, it is baffling to think that just a short while ago, it had never been dreamt of"The Taste (June 1998)
"Their sweet fruity flavour can't conceal the negative health consequences"American Medical Association (1998)
"Research shows that young people find them appealing"Alcohol Concern (2001)
"Critics of alcopop say they are cynically packaged to appeal to under-age drinkers" Guardian (May 1997)
"When you download MP3s, you're downloading communism; and when you drink alcopops, you're succouring the Devil... The Devil rarely paints sin in all its hideous colours. Usually he paints it in an attractive or a harmless guise. In this case, the bitter taste of alcohol is covered up by sweet tasting fizzy drinks"Free Church Defence Association (1997)
