EJECTORSEAT - NOT MY GIRL

EJECTORSEAT - WHAT DO THEY CARE?

ESTEBAN - SANTIAGO

ROSALITA - MANGA GIRL

ROSALITA - SAVING FOR MY PENSION (LIVE)

THE MUVS - BEST FRIENDS

InfluencesNirvana's Nevermind is not the only great record ever made.

If it sounds good, it is good.

For general educational purposes we recommend you watch Metallica's Some Kind Of Monster DVD.

Read Paul Zollo's book "Songwriters on Songwriting" and then listen to and find inspiration in the work of those interviewed.

Invest in the fantastic autobiographies of Bob Dylan and David Lee Roth. Fred Goodman's "Mansion On The Hill" and Frederick Dannen's "Hitmen" will tell you how the record industry was built and by whom.

One sure thing: you can't go wrong with D.W. Fearn, Neve, SSL, Neumann, Protools, Fender guitars and basses, Marshall amplification and good Italian coffee.

Sounds Likea hit?

   About The Animal Farm
THE ANIMAL FARM is a music production company. We produce records, write songs, manage artists, run a publishing company and a record label. We're engaged in this great business that is the "music business". Notice how "music" comes before "business".

We are based at the Atomic Studios Complex in London, near Tower Bridge, where we can see the London Eye from our windows.

If you're an exciting new band making exciting new music, we're big on artist development - you should get in touch. As you should if you're a manager or a label looking for a producer or a co-writer for your artist.

To find out what's REALLY going on... check out our blog News At Zen

To get News At Zen into your mailbox, subscribe here RSS

To hear what we consider to be great new music, please listen to some our current projects like One Night Only (Vertigo), Road To V Festival winners Rosalita (Taste Media), buzz band Ejectorseat (Taste Media) who just scored a nice sync with the EA Euro 2008 footie game; Universal's new Pianoman Jack McManus (Polydor); Mancunian Emo quintet Smudge (The Animal Farm); Slice The Pie winners Shortwave Fade (Shifty Disco), desert funksters Esteban (The Animal Farm), Diesel U-Music winners Quad Riot (Fierce Panda), Irish songstress Tara Blaise (Spokes/Warner), Southampton art rockers Soma High (label tbc), Indy Award winners The Brent Flood (The Animal Farm) and the very excellent Cambridge youngsters Alpha Road

The Animal Farm is run by producer/writers Mat and Ville Leppanen. We started our careers in 1993 by signing as songwriters to Bob Grace's Empire Music. Our career took a severe and welcome left turn when our punk band Snowdogs signed to Victory Records in the US. We toured the world from the late 90s until 2003 when we set up The Animal Farm. Consequently, our CV is a veritable smorgasboard of artists as diverse as At The Drive-In, Shakin' Stevens, Blink 182 and S Club 7...

If you want us to check you out, please direct us to your MySpace remembering to tell us what it is you're after.

Our contact details are here.

Please note that there are two things we don't do: book gigs or give feedback on demos. We're not a booking agent and... if it's feedback you're after, try turning your amp louder.... ;-)

We are represented by Safta Jaffery at SJP and we are partnered up with Taste Music.

The old saying goes: "It's all about great songs"

Please remember to update the saying as follows: "It's all about great songs but without great production nobody will know you've written one."

The inspirational American novelist Kurt Vonnegut said: "There is no reason good can't triumph over evil, if only angels get organized along the lines of the mafia." He also said: "A plausible mission for artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit." He went on to say that "The purpose of life is to love those who are around to be loved" and "We're here to fart around - don't let anyone tell you any different".

So it goes.

We've just put up a video for a new track called 'REDEEM' on our page.

It's darker and moodier than a Finnish winter.

Mama Shamone – THESE GUYS AREN’T PLAYING LIVE (except one acoustic) EXCEPT AT GLASTO FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!
http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone
“Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar

We Yes You No
www. myspace. com/weyesyouno
“We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god’s last EP” – Big City Redneck

Language
http://www. myspace. com/languageuk
“"The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear
