Stickman Records was founded in late '94 for the sole purpose of releasing and promoting the music of the norwegian band Motorpsycho. We discovered a few other great bands along the way and now, years later, we can look back on dozens of releases, from more than 20 bands, on both Stickman and Sticksister.
The mothership Stickman concentrates on good uncommercial independent rock in the broadest sense of the word. We have a definite weakness for weirdness, reflected in such releases as The Tussler soundtrack, the Matt Burt album and pretty much anything by HGH.
Two years after starting up Stickman, we founded the sublabel "Sticksister Records" which offers a forum for more pop and emo-oriented bands. These bands have their roots solidly in the 90's and we suspect that they appeal to a younger crowd than some of our Stickman bands.
We’re particularly proud to be able to work with some of our long-time heroes such as The Wedding Present, Radio Birdman and The Soundtrack of Our Lives.
**** Demo policy: yes, we accept demos although we are not actively on the search for new bands. However, we prefer getting a myspace link. We do our best to respond to as many bands as we can, but at this point we receive so many demos that it has become impossible to answer each and every one. So please don’t send us anything if you play a kind of music that we don’t release such as metal or hiphop!
The soundtrack for the wedding party of anger & gloom. Traktor from Sweden, which are not only highly considered in circles of connoisseurs because of their extraordinary live qualities, perfect their grim chaos-core on their first full length, entitled Lights. The typical Traktor sound from the early days with indigestive breaks and dissonant guitar riffs in the vein of famous San Diego bands like Drive Like Jehu or Swing Kids is getting enobled with dark & calm passages. Although the album was mastered in the much sought-after Tonteknik-Studio in Umeå, the regulary comparisons to Refused or early JR Ewing are less present, then genre bulks like Lack or Breach. Lights is an album designed for a cheerless winter, post-hardcore between aggression & depression
