Granite City Records is an Aberdeen based record label/promotions outfit with a simple aim... to bring more attention to the local music scene from both the media/music industry and from the regular music lover in the city who perhaps is unaware of what is going on in the city right now.
Our first release is out now featuring 16 of the finest acts Aberdeen has to offer. You can pick it up from around Aberdeen or we can send you a copy. The CD is FREE. All we ask is £1.25 for postage and packaging costs. What have you got to lose? We'll even throw in a badge for you too :-P
"It's free and proves that it's not only Fife, Glasgow and Edinburgh has all the talent. Album opener, The Little Kicks' Don't Give Up So Easily, proves why they are are on the list of Scotland's best new acts. Don't Give Up So Easily has the breezy ramshackle beauty of Babyshambles at their best.
Eddison's great synth rock Killer Scene tune is one we already know about.
Fiction/Action's Missing Control is a blend of Bauhaus and raw emo angst, while Flaming Katy's A Shot At Glory is a twitching new wave belter.
Other highlights include the Ska-influenced The Saint & The Satan from The Phoenix Band while Level Four's Furtherance ends the album with a swirl of rock pop. The FREE album is out now" - The Daily Record
Look out for more gigs and releases from us soon :)
We are putting together the latest issue of RubyRuby so if you have anything going on (Jan/Feb) gigs, new releases or any other news just drop us a line and we'll make sure we put it in for you.
