Survival in the Independent Music Scene is not easy. Iron Man Records has had to cultivate a variety of survival skills in the challenging landscape of independent music. Changing habits post-COVID, the cost of living crisis, Brexit, the cost of touring, fuel prices, and the impact of streaming services have significantly affected the environment in which musicians operate. In an era where listeners are bombarded with music choices, pursuing a career in music has become unsustainable for many. Simply earning enough to cover basic operating expenses feels like a mad dream for most artists. “Get in on the hustle or be a bum” - Charles Bukowski I would like to extend…

Ford Timelord by Flinton Chalk and The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures.
Iron Man Records works with the artist Flinton Chalk of the band TC Lethbridge. After many years of discussion and a true odyssey to track down the missing photographs, Iron Man Records produced the first in a series of limited edition 50cm x 70cm Lithographic Prints, limited to a signed run of 111 copies. These prints are available only to Patrons. TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature. Lethbridge’s methodology and theories were widely deemed unorthodox, and in turn he became increasingly critical of…
Sinead O’Brien – European Tour 2022
“You have seen nothing yet”, asserts Sinead O’Brien in single Girlkind – and you are inclined to believe her. Building on her arresting releases since 2018, the multifaceted Irish poet, songwriter and performer is ascending into new territory with her debut LP, Time Bend and Break the Bower, released via Chess Club Records.

Communing at…

Ford Timelord returns to work on The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures – 111 Lithographic Prints by Flinton Chalk
TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature.

The area of Wandlebury Hill has been described as a neolithic ritual landscape. Imagine how the archaeological community are going to take it when they discover a car has returned to work in the neolithic ritual landscape to help raise funds to substantiate TC Lethbridge's claims? Iron Man Records is pleased to announce that Ford Timelord has returned…
