KATHLEEN SAT ON THE ARM OF HER FAVOURITE CHAIR is a lo-fi gem. Joyfully sloppy, semi-psyched out, trashy indie pop

THE INKHEARTS - Keeping Up

“The Dancer weaves its hypnotic magic from the off, with Ben Earnshaw driving the front vocals over yearning guitars, synth and tribal drum beats - the latter excelling where the track rides to its closing notes.” 
Little Indie Blogs


Villiers - The Dancer

“The band’s vintage psych sound – all driving guitars, pounding bass and crashing drums – is like a battering ram to the senses, a perfect cocktail of Brian Jonestown Massacre menace and Spacemen 3-esque trippyness.” 
David Sue - Manchester Evening News, May 2014


The Watchmakers - Illumination

Jimmy & the Revolvers are a four piece from Liverpool specialising in their own brand of Scouse indie inspired by the eternal genius of the 50s and 60s. Expect tight harmonies, catchy melodies and a beat you can't help but move to...

Jimmy & the Revolvers - Whistle For My Love

"The Watchmakers are a band on a mission to put the strut back into Psych.  Latest track ‘Illumination’ may be full of sonic arabesques, but the driving motorik rhythm is more than a little like desert-era QOTSA.” NME, June 2014

The Watchmakers - Carpe Diem

"These West Yorkshire newcomers create a mesmerising concoction of psychedelia set to blissed-out vocals that sound like they've arrived via some metal influences. New single "Nervous" features spaced-out guitar work set to a sultry bass line that quickly expands into a chorus of full-frontal grunge fuckery" - NME

Dermot O'Leary interviews Hip Hop Legends Grandmaster Mele Mel and Scorpio of The Furious Five who perform a live version of their huge hit 'The Message', the track named by Rolling Stone Magazine as the number one Hop Hop track of all time.

Grandmaster Mele Mel and Scorpio on BBC Radio 2

The Furious 5 revolutionised music, helping to create a template for the industry that exists today, yet even now Mele Mel and Scorpio are pushing the boundaries of expectation by taking their sound in a new direction. New single 'Some Kind of Sorry' boasts lyrically dextrous and incisively delivered raps juxtaposed with a biting guitar riff, pounding drums and an infectious, melodic sung chorus. This genre crossing record will appeal to the group's original fanbase as well as bringing their music to a new generation.

BLUE SOAP is a radio plugging company established in 1999.  Instrumental in launching Elbow, I Am Kloot and Tompaulin, we progressed to become a purveyor of independent artists including Jim Reid of The Jesus & Mary Chain, Mogwai, The Walkmen, Stephin Merritt, My Morning Jacket, Goldblade, Kings Have Long Arms and many other independent artists. 

Our team have worked across all sectors of the music industry from the live scene to record labels, local independent stations to national radio brands. We've amassed a collective fifty years experience and established an enviable network of contacts, ensuring Blue Soap is one of the most respected and successful radio plugging and PR companies in the UK.  

We took the name 'Blue Soap' from the b-side of The Associates' single 'Message Oblique Speech'.  As admirers of both Billy Mackenzie and his unique and maverick approach to music, we took inspiration from his ethos.  It summed up what we wanted to achieve.  Our mission is to champion the underground of great but often overlooked artists who are striving to get heard in a world dominated by corporate labels and media.

"I'm always impressed by the diversity and quality of the music that the Blue Soap team plug/promote/love/bring to the table..."
Tom Hingley - Inspiral Carpets/The Lovers

"Blue Soap not only have a great rosta of bands but they are approachable, DIY and truly independent in a time when all those words have been stolen by marketing monkeys and made devoid of all their beautiful meanings..."
John Robb - Goldblade, The Membranes, Louder Than War

"Blue Soap have been a pleasure to work with. They embraced the music and philosophy of our label and have secured airplay in Britain and America for our debut releases. Always available, always helpful, always professional."
Carl Hunter - The Farm, The Justice Collective, Creative Director at Label Recordings
