First and foremost, we are a group of musicians who just want to do as much as we can in and around our scene. Deadwave Records is primarily driven by the joy of music.
But that's a pretty twee way of saying who we are, so here's a little more detail.
(Tries to run the show)
James Harper - Director
(Animal guy)
Matt Kateley - Director, A&R
(Our boots on the ground in East Kent)
Leonardo Ozorio - Director, Bookings
(Professional Brazilian)
Mark Wills - Director, sometimes takes photos
(Location Photographer)
Rob Manhire - Live photos
We are all in a band together (Tides Of Ire...Rob isnβt...). Once our first EP was finished, we obviously wanted to get it out there and marketed and promoted, blah blah.
It was then, that we figured we each had a skillset that would be well suited to handling everything ourselves...and we later figured that we could actually help other people do it too! And so basically, Deadwave Records was born
