Rockers Revolt Closing Down Sale »

After much thought I’m sad to say that I’ve decided to close Rockers Revolt over the next couple of months.
We’ve had a brilliant 3 years running the label and very proud of all we achieved with the releases from Pama Intl, Slackers, Pietasters, Ed Rome, Mungos Hi Fi, Babyhead & more.

We’re holding a closing down sale with prices starting at £0.01p, so grab yourself a bargain while stocks last at http://www.rockersrevolt.com/products-page/?brand=1 There’s loads of titles to flick through so feel free to browse. Everything must go! Any problems ordering emailenquiries@rockersrevolt.com

Not all is doom and gloom you’ll be pleased to know. I’m closing Rockers Revolt because some amazing opportunities have presented themselves.  As well as running The London Intl Ska Festival, I’m also going to be running a new label for the UK’s finest truly independent label Cherry Red Records called Phoenix City and also working on a new band… All this means I simply don’t have the time to do RR justice anymore.

Phoenix City Record Co launches in Aug’11 with 6 digital releases.  The London Intl Ska Festival 2012 earlybird tickets are onsale now at londoninternationalskafestival.co.uk/tickets/
