Inner Terrestrials – Heart of The Free

28 February 2021Mark

Inner Terrestrials are pleased to finally announce the release of the long awaited album Heart Of The Free. There have been many difficulties along the way, the biggest one being this disastrous situation we’re all living through. With no gigs in sight we took the decision to release it regardless so instead of touring we’ll be performing a free online album launch gig on Sunday 28TH February 2021 at 20.00hrs 8pm GMT streaming live from Facebook & YouTube. 27 years on the road and stronger than ever, London’s legendary Inner Terrestrials are a stomping mix of dub, punk, ska, folk and general anarchic danceability. They get audiences all over the world…

I want to invite you to become a Patron of Iron Man Records. Since I started the record label 22 years ago, times have changed and it is becoming harder and harder to assemble enough money to make new releases possible. 61 Patrons currently support the record label.

Mileage Into Music – Become An Iron Man Records Patron

4 July 2018Mark

Iron Man Records would like to invite you to become a Patron. From as little as just 60 pence a month, or $1, you could help contribute to the next Vinyl release on the label and in exchange you can have a number of rewards, free things and benefits. All the money I earn as a Tour Manager, and working with musicians, goes into the running costs of Iron Man Records, and helping Musicians wherever I can. I have financed the record label from my own pocket for the last 20 years or more and continue to do so. The record label runs at a huge loss, and has generated…

Where do you see Independent Record Labels heading in the future?

18 April 2018Mark

I have no idea where other Independent record labels are headed in future. Perhaps I can give you an idea of where I may take Iron Man Records if anything goes to plan. Which often, it doesn’t. But the quote “When all music is digital, all independence ceases” continues to permeate my thoughts. I want to keep the record label focused on releasing records, digitally and also on Vinyl. I want to leave the artists to work on writing, rehearsing, touring and recording. I’m not interested in getting more involved with the artists beyond releasing their music. I don’t like the idea of taking more control or involvement in what they…

What are your thoughts on Vinyl? Are the costs of Vinyl production affordable to Independent labels?

18 April 2018Mark

“When all music is digital, all independence ceases.” I suppose, what I’m trying to say is that whoever controls the digital platform controls the market. Whether it’s Google, Apple, Spotify, YouTube or Amazon, if all music is digital then at some point you will have to engage the digital platform for access. If you lose access to the platform, you lose access to the music. From an artists perspective, either you place your music where the people are, or you have to encourage people to find your music where you are. The first one is easy, the second is not so easy. But either way, the lack of scarcity in the…
