Isolation Records was founded by Adam Hammond and Gary Packham in late 2005. Both music obsessives from a young age, the pair had often talked about forming their own label, but finally realised that you can talk forever without actually doing anything, so at last Isolation was born. This was to be a label that reflected not only their wide-ranging tastes, but one that could stand isolated from the mainstream, having a strong identity of its own, both in terms of music and image.
All involved, whether bands, workers, photographers or artists, would be encouraged to work together to foster this identity, one that would hopefully inspire rather than restrict creativity.
With many months spent trawling round local gigs and diving into myspace in the search of suitable bands, the label’s first release saw the light of day in July 2006, with the second following in December of that year. Two more were released in May this year, with all of the band’s artists currently working hard in the studio. A new single is planned for February; the label’s first album is due in the Spring.
Though starting small, Isolation Records has no desire to remain hidden. There is little point in releasing music that nobody gets to hear and we believe the music we release deserves the widest possible audience. However, we will never compromise on quality to achieve this goal. We will never release a record that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. Ultimately, we have only two aims: to be true to ourselves and to be the best record label in the world.
Isolation Records welcomes demos from all bands who feel they could contribute to its undoubted success.
