Quickfix Recordings

www.quickfixrecordings.co.uk Quickfix Recordings is an independent label based originally based in Oxford but now has a roster of global musicians.

It was started with the aim of giving the flagging music industry a much - needed shot of musical excitement. Ten years down the line and over 20 successful releases (including debuts by bands such as Youthmovie Sountrack Strategies and Smilex) Quickfix Recordings continues to push new music. The idea of Quickfix Recordings was conceived whilst living in Manchester in 1997 where we were inspired b

y the attitude of the local DIY Music scene there. Manchester had a lot going for it not only was it the home of the legendry Factory Records it was also home to InTheCity and the developing Beehive Mill and Northern Quarter scene. We soon set up a small online compilation tape subscription label called Glass Axe. Each tape was hand copied over old spoken word and nursery rhyme tapes and sent to subscribers featuring the best in up and coming unsigned bands from both Oxford and Manchester. In 2000 we returned to Oxford, in the time we had been away the Oxford Music scene had exploded with the coming of Radio 1 Sound City. Great bands such as the The Rock of Travolta, Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia, Eeeblee and a girl band called Caliber had formed and so Quickfix Recordings was born. Our debut release by Caliber 'Someday Now' was released in the January 2002. Quickfix Recordings soon developed from being a basic record label and progressed to artist management, recording, gig promoting and radio shows. For a number of years we put together the popular local music radio show 'The Fortnightly Fix' on Oxford's Passion 107.9fm and have also had shows on student radio Oxide and OX4 Radio. Over the past 14 years we have promoted gigs at many Oxfordshire venues including The Wheatsheaf, Fat Lils, The Ex Hall, Kiss Bar, The Zodiac and The Port Mahon. Gig promotion for us started with helping book bills for the local Abingdon Skittle Alley collective back in 2002, we then helped with the One Louder nights at The Wheatsheaf when, in 2004 we took over the regular monthly slot and turned them into Quickfix Recordings nights. Over the years we have put on a whole host of bands of all styles from Oxfordshire and also further a field, including Frank Turner, Meanwhile... Back In Communist Russia, Fixers, Youthmovies, To The Bones, Nought and Meet Me In St Louis.

14 years on we still continue to push new music.

Just a quick message from ben and a reminder from us to listen to The End Of The World on your least hated or scurrilous platform…

www.Quickfixrecordings.bandcamp.com for the hd wav download format that supports the artist. One song sold on bandcamp pays about the same as 5,000 streams (which is a single pound sterling).

We’d be remiss not to tell you about The End Of The World, now that it’s finally here! For a while, we didn’t think it would be by today and wondered when it would be but we can breathe a collective sigh of relief and stop worrying about it and just let it happen. If you could pass on the news we would appreciate it… we want as many people to know as possible because we’d like to all enjoy it together…

Thanks to nightshift for this mention of and in this 20 years ago (can it really be?) feature - technically TYK management meddling as we wouldn’t want the lovely folks at Hanging With The Cool Kids (who got screwed too) to have any of that mud stick to them. And some obsessions might never leave but need a bit of tempering to keep one sane. Still, good times! 🤘

Smilex just released a video for Wasted Youth made form archive footage from over a decade ago so check it out on YouTube. They have done two gig reunions at which you can see online.

Lee is still running this label (feat many artists who cut their musical teeth on the oxford scene) and involved with the ox scene from a safe distance and releases solo material so check that out too! 🎶👍
