The Sound Of The Ample Play Label

debut single out 11.11.13 on Ample Play.

A new young band from North East Wales, The Bluebottle Veins release their debut 5 track EP 'Raindrop Blues' on Ample Play Records on 11.11.13.  John Robb (Louder Than War) has them down as ‘the BEST young band in the UK right now.  Think Marc Bolan, Led Zeppelin or Beefheart, The Bluebottle Veins are part of something quite brilliant – a new rush of bands taking the electric blues and giving them a teenage rush…this band are really special.’

Cornershop 'Soul School'

The Sudden Death of Stars. Think The Byrds, Fairport Convention, Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3, made in Brittany.

'I'll Be There' is an upbeat instant psychedelic dream of a track with cello, glockenspiel and vintage organs. It is even more uplifting when you find out it’s about a parent who’s passed away and speaks to their child ‘I’ll Be There’.

Both Tjinder & Benedict are avid record collectors, who met when they both studied at Preston Polytechnic.  Tjinder became the Union Social Executive whilst Ben went to London to work in a vinyl record pressing plant.  As Cornershop took off and developed, so did the amount of Turbans they had to wear, and Ample Play Records is the culmination of all that work and experience, backed by freedom & enjoyment, with 'Music 10 Commandments'.
