As the new "yeah!" passes into being, I have to post an obligatory statement.
Last year, I released albums from Joey Herzfeld, Tom Conway and the inimitable Shane O'Linski (under the name 'Haemogoblin'). I also started up the podcast again and produced 12 episodes, each one featuring a session from a different Norwich band or artist, find it at PMVpodcast.co.uk or wherever people get podcasts. And I played and helped run dozens of gigs. Despite all that, it felt like a very lazy year. Sure, I have a job and a family but I also spent an inordinate amount of time playing Crash Team Racing, watching TV and reading comic books. And I wouldn't change a thing, I tell ya, mwah ha ha ha. Moving into '25, I am continuing to try and respond dynamically to the world around me, not keep running on tracks. I have talked before about how the label evolves over the years, it was created with firm ideals and practices in answer to the consequences of the Digital Revolution. 8 years later, while the principles remain the same, the culture and technological context continues to change. I feel the label needs to rethink how it operates in order to continue being cutting edge. Nonetheless, all that shite aside, we will continue to release, produce and support art which inspires, lifts and improves the world around it.
Continue to support us by following us. One thing we're looking into is our relationship with social media but we're still there for now. And purchase our products. Again, we're looking into various other music platforms but currently purchasing a download direct from our store is still the best way to support us and our artists and it's an active and meaningful way to listen to music. Thanks and wishing you the best of yeahs.
