Re-release Me

As devout followers of the anti-Church of Off with their Records, you know that we recently set up a Bandcamp page. You can still download all our music direct from us and that's the best way to do it, but if you prefer the platform that Bandcamp provides then we have that too. We do have new things in the pipeline but in the interim we are rereleasing our back catalogue for Bandcamp. This is more than just uploading the same thing to a different place, we really give a hoot about the way music is presented and experienced so all our releases are tailored to fit the Bandcamp format so that the music continues to have the artistic impact and cultural importance that it was devised to have. So head over to our Bandcamp now to rediscover music that will melt your soul, ready to be reforged in the light of a brand new day.

Ignore Me! - (the tangled web of intentions)

A while back I announced with great aplomb that this website was moving. I had got my Wix invoice through and it wanted me to pay £300 to maintain the website. I was, and still am, making a whole bunch of changes to my infrastructure, including ditching Soundcloud and starting a Bandcamp so it seemed a good time to ditch Wix too and go back to Tumblr. All my websites were originally based on Tumblr because it's free. Unfortunately, because Tumblr was a filthy website full of lude pornographic content, certain people, particularly those using mobile browsers, couldn't access it, hence the move to Wix. But that was way back when. These days, Tumblr has cleaned up its act and is now a viable alternative. So I went for it. Times they are a-changin'. Unfortunately, what I didn't realise is that I have a-changed too. Off with their Records is a bigger beast than it once was and trying to present my large catalogue of music on there in a pleasing way is not happening. I also noticed I can use Wix's free plan and it doesn't make a huge difference at all. The only real issue is limited storage space so I've had to remove a lot of the audio previews, I will be replacing these with external links for people who want to check out the music they're buying, where possible.

So, long story short, I'm back to Wix.

Hope you dig the website because it's here to stay.

For now.

Under Destruction​

As of January 2024, Off with their Records is undergoing major restructuring. We're moving to Bandcamp and we're completely changing our web infrastructure. It doesn't sound like it but this is actually all very exciting stuff as it represents a significant change in the way we operate. Funnily enough, some of these changes are a return to the original ethos and modus operandi of the label. Over time I have tried various new developments as well as made moves to adapt to cultural currents, the change was good and has served us well but it's time for more changes and the original principles of the label still stand tall and guide those changes. One significant return to the past is that we're moving our website back to Tumblr. This has been made possible by the fact that Tumblr stopped peddling in porn so it's now a viable choice of website that won't get filtered out by people's browsers. Which is great because Tumblr is free! None of this will explicitly affect you, dear fan, but everything will look and feel better. More real, more DIY.
