One Inch Badge Records presents:
A Christmas Party showcasing OIB Records recording artists for 2010

CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is the musical alias of 30 year old American film school drop-out Owen Ashworth. Ashworth began his intricate ventures into abstract emotional music in 1997 after he realized that song-making was a far more cost-effective means of storytelling than film-making. To date, he has produced six CFTPA albums, released through Tomlab, that have defined a hybrid strain of raw, emotional and very homemade synth pop, this is instantly recognizable as his own. Claustrophobic two-minute character studies shuddered with reverbed beats, blown-out chords and simple but infectious melodies, all layered beneath Ashworth's bittersweet lyrical odes to love lost.
***Casiotone for the Painfully Alone will feature on OIB Records Split Series Volume 4***
TUBELORD
The country's most exciting math-emo-pop band. Combining breakneck rhythms, anvil-heavy riffs and super-infectious choruses, Tubelord are every rock fans pop dream!!! 2009 was a pretty insane year for Tubelord, seeing them not only tour with Johnny Foreigner, Blakfish and Future of the Left, but also release their debut album 'Our First American Friends' on the cult Hassle label (Rolo Tomassi) to much critical acclaim.
***Tubelord will feature on OIB Records Split Series Voume 5***
NULLIFIER
Nullifier are an infectious hyper-pop supergroup from Brighton consisting of Todd Jordan aka T-Jo from My Device and James Morrison aka J-Mo from The Tumbledown Estate. Padding out the rest of this insane 8-piece collective are Tom Denney (Lonely Ghosts / Help She Can't Swim), Tom Windsor (Pope Joan), Luke Hefson (Not Katies), Alex Uren (My Device), Russ Eke (My Device), and Milo Boyd (Cameltoe Comb-Over). Falling somewhere between The Russian Futurists, Metronomy, and the 1969 moon landing, Nullifier are a mashed hybrid of brain destroyingly infectious synth electro hooks, filthy guitar over-drives and contagious choruses.
