WELCOME TO TRANSCEND RECORDS!
Transcend Records Ltd was formed in 2008 by Rob Ferguson who has spent over 20 years working in the British music industry.
We are a totally independent label, in ownership, and ethics. We sign what we like, and we like what we sign. We work hard for our artists and our artists work hard for us.
As we evolve into a fully rounded music company, we strive to look out for our artists interests in all spheres of the world of the business we call music. We are about to launch our own merchandising division; because we don’t feel our bands should have to spend their own money on buying and making t-shirts. So we will do it for them.
Most of our acts are now published, and we have been happy to help there and to save them paying 20% to somebody who doesn’t really care; we provide a total management solution – we like to call it a 361 degree music company. Its all part of it you see? There isn’t the money in this game for bands to pay large chunks of their income to subcontracted workers, we would rather the success stayed where it should be, with the people who write, and play the songs.
We ain’t perfect, hell no, and will never pretend that we are, but, and it’s a big important but, we will stay true to ourselves, our ethics, our independence and our values.
In essence, we want to, and generally do, enjoy what we are, and what we achieve. We want all our bands to feel the same..
Want to work with us? You’ll have to have that something special, be guitar based and have a strong work ethic. Most importantly, we will have to like you, and what you do. There is always room for one more in the stable
The Transcend Team.

SPiT LiKE THiS signed their long-awaited record deal in front of the world's media at the climax of Skin Deep magazine's "Tattoo Jam".
Over 3,000 tattoo fans from across the globe attended the Jam, which SPiT LiKE THiS headlined, between 1-3 August.
As Skin Deep was the first magazine to feature SPiT LiKE THiS on the cover, SLT decided it would be the perfect place for them to sign their deal. Lead singer, Zion, states:
"It was perfect and over the top - just the way we like it! Up on a stage in front of a cheering crowd fulfilling one of our ambitions! We are now looking forward to the next stage of our career as a signed band."
The historic event was filmed and projected above the heads of SLT onto a massive movie screen. You can view the whole signing here
From the labels perspective we are very excited to be working with a band that have all the ingredients for tremendous success. SLT have a fantastic work ethic and continue to push the boundaries with their own unique brand of entertainment and imagery.
This is a band you can't fail to notice and one that you'll never forget – expect big things!

The new single from Sacred Mother Tongue is out on May 19th and it has been universally hailed as the one of the hottest metal releases for some time.
Positive press is coming in from all angles and some of the quotes so far from those in the know include:
“A wondrous mix of Killswitch Engage’s metalcore edge, System Of A Down’s melodic genius & some stunning melodic invention throughout - the urgency, the riffs, the breakdowns, perfect from start to finish”
“This is quite simply a huge single, a battle cry of a wake up call to the current metal scene”
“Sacred Mother Tongue are an amazing prospect for UK Metal, who I'm sure will grace the stage of Download in 2009.”
“Perfectly in tune with young metalhead taste in 2008. Massive, globebothering potential.”

Ex-Prodigy guitar god, Gizz Butt is a man of many talents. You may have seen him in one of his many incarnations, with the Fields Of The Nephilim, Sabbat, or even Crass. But his real love is classic metal, served up on a massive contemporary plate. We beat off stiff competition to bag this album from the Midlands 5 piece and it's out very soon at all good record stores.
To see the recent three page spread in Metal Hammer, click here, here and here. This excellent 12 track monster is universally picking up top reviews and is a must have album for the Metal purist. Find out more here.
The Unholy Feast will be available in stores from June 2nd and can be preordered from here

BELISHA

Controversial 'art punkers' Belisha have just released there first single through Transcend. 'Who's a clever boy?' has received nationwide press and reviews, and has, at current date, spent 5 weeks in the higher end of the UK chart, reaching number 2 in the official rock chart. Of course, this is just the start of the bands journey, a further 4 minute blast of barmy alt/punk pop is due out from our HQ very soon. Its been a summer of tv theme's, festival appearances, radio interviews and live acoustic sessions, and a 2 week run as featured artist on Myspace has only gone to show that you can sell records, not cheat, and not sell out, and remain the masters of your own destiny. Who ever would tell a band what to do who are likely to shoot, incinerate or bury you alive? As a label, we are pleased to have helped bring quite the maddest, baddest band in Britain into the stores, and as importantly, your homes.
'The Nothing to lose' Belisha tour is staggering round a few select venues in the next few weeks, and can we highly reccomend you go and see them? Urinating clowns, guns, custard pies, flamethrowers, special audio visual owl appearances are just a part of it.
The barking 5 some have spent the winter writing show tunes, film theme scores, and soothing ambient ‘chill out tapes' which, as they only agreed to release on cassette, was of little use to us. So instead we bribed them with various types of cheese, to make another pop/punk winner. We are relieved, no, delighted that this sort of thing comes as second nature to them, and the results are another mouth watering offering that we are delighted to be bringing you in late spring. |
