Forthesakeofthesong is a record label born and developed in the aftermath of another SXSW experience (2007). There the importance, impact and rapture of music becomes more apparent then ever.

Infectious, honest, addictive music makes me feel indestructible. When music that is “just right” is made, magic happens. Some albums are full of that magic from beginning to end. These albums contain no filler to skip. You have listened to these albums countless times and you always know what happens next - when that guitar comes in that makes you shiver and when the vocals hurt so good your heart skips a beat, but still, every time you hear one of these albums you end up surprised and amazed by it. Forthesakeofthesong will solely concentrate on releasing albums like that - stunning, solid records capable of becoming classics.

The label was launched with the re-release of My Drug Hells debut album from 1996, ’This Is My Drug Hell’, regarded as one of the best albums of the nineties. The next release was ’Are You Well?’, the debut album by Ambrose Tompkins, an album which has received nothing but praise and stunning reviews. Also out on Forthesakeofthesong is ’All That Optimism’, the debut album by new Leicester band The Legion. Early in 2009 we released the long awaited second album by My Drug Hell, titled ’My Drug Hell 2’. Next up is 'Introducing Townes Van Zandt Via The Great Unknown', out October 26th 2009 - this album you need to check out here: www.myspace.com/thetownesvanzandtproject. We are also very excited about our new addition; Lessons In Time from Australia, who's debut album will be out on Forthesakeofthesong spring 2010.
