In 2011, with over 20 releases and hundreds of live shows under our belt and more on the horizon, OIB has grown from a boutique kitchen table collective into an international label and promotions company that promotes throughout the UK, releasing records and singles around the world for some of the worlds finest international acts such as Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Why?, Oneida, Knyfe Hyts, and the Death Set.
Yet while OIB has expanded internationally the Brighton scene has remained crucial to the development of our tastes and direction. Time has come to spread the good word to the wider world and with that in mind we collated 18 of the most vital and engaging new bands on the Brighton Scene into a comprehensive compilation album. It’s a multi-genre showcase of just how wide Brighton’s musical spectrum is, and a love-letter to the town that allows this type of shenanigan to thrive.
Across the 18 tracks you’ll hear the cool surf-rock of The Squadron Leaders and the Sticks; the slick pop perfection of Pope Joan and Nullifier; the enveloping folk-noir of Sons of Noel and Adrian and Birdengine; the 8-bit brutality of Drum Eyes and Soccer96; and the harsh garage rock of Illness and Cold Pumas; alongside a whole host of other artists and genres.
