Friends of the label,

We have decided to close the Mayday Records web site, which has been around since 2005, effective October 21 2023. So if you've been thinking of getting any free downloads or actual CDs, please do so in the next 10 days.

https://maydayrecords.com

At this time, we don't know what the next chapter in Mayday's existence will be, or when, or even if. This page will remain up however, and any news will be posted here.

Thanks for your support over the years!

Yours, Lord Brocton the sweet potato

Today, May 1, is International Workers' Day! It commemorates the sentencing to death of seven anarchist workers in Chicago who were wrongly convicted for throwing a bomb at police who attacked a strike demonstration in May 1886.
80,000 workers in Chicago had walked out on May 1 demanding a maximum 8-hour working day, alongside over 200,000 other workers across the US. Employers and the government were determined to crush the movement, and four of the anarchists were executed, with the fifth cheating the hangman by killing himself. An eighth was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. The surviving three were later pardoned, and the fight for the 8-hour day continued.
Before his ex*****on, defendant August Spies told the court: "if you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labour movement – the movement from which the downtrodden millions, the millions who toil and live in want and misery, the wage slaves, expect salvation – if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread upon a spark, but here, and there, and behind you, and in front of you, and everywhere, flames will blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out."
Socialist and workers' organisations later chose May 1 to be celebrated as International Workers' Day, and today it is celebrated as a national holiday in many countries around the world, and an unofficial one in many others.

Just uploaded to our YouTube channel: three new videos made for three old audio pieces! These old tracks had been "lost in plain sight" in a forgotten folder on the Mayday Studios workstation. The original sounds were recorded on 8 analog tracks by Rotten Piece back in 1997, then edited and mixed by Infant Mortality Rate in 2003. It was decided to release the material this way, as videos, so some video editing & mixing was done last month.
Enjoy these new tracks and check out some of the older vids we are keeping around for your entertainment.

Hello, I am Lord Brocton, a sweet potato. In January 2022 I have acquired the assets of Mayday Records. I now control this page, the SoundCloud page, The U-Toob channel, and of course the web site. All is well and you should remain calm (at least about this, I mean the world is going to hell otherwise, amirite?). We'll see if I can make a go of it. If not, I know a lump of clay who might be interested. Ta for now!
