No Sleep Records is an independent record label based in Huntington Beach, CA and home to some of underground music's best emerging talent. Formed in 2006 by Chris Hansen, No Sleep began as a project to bring back originality and uniqueness to a seemingly watered-down scene, and has quickly risen to become one of the most respected labels in the industry.

Years after its inception, No Sleep continues to push the boundaries of music with a diverse lineup of innovative acts that don't necessarily fit any single genre, but instead are out to cut their own path. From La Dispute and Touche Amore to Balance and Composure and Into It. Over It., the label has become one of the scene's most coveted labels for bands to call home.

Though based in Italy, The Mugshots were born in New York City in 2001 when lead
singer, Mickey E. Vil, visiting the United States, chose the band’s name after listening to an Alice
Cooper record.

As their name would suggest, dark crime stories have infused the band’s lyrics from the very
beginning.

As the Mugshots’ line-up was developing over the next few years, the band released two
full-length albums, “House Of The Weirdos” and “Weird Theater” plus an EP, titled “Doctor Is
Out”. Then in 2009, the band’s present line up was consolidated. In 2010, The Mugshots released a
limited edition EP titled “In Disguise” through an independent Italian record label. This EP was
made available on both red vinyl and CD and garnered enthusiastic reviews around the world.
In 2012, The Mugshots teamed up with the legendary Dick Wagner, producer and performer
for such great rock icons as Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Ray Manzarek, Kiss,
Aerosmith and many others. This collaboration resulted in another EP on which Wagner arranged,
co-wrote and played lead Guitars.

Throughout their career, The Mugshots have shared the stage with The Stranglers, The
Damned, UK Subs, Brian James, Tv Smith, Baz Warne, The Lords Of Altamont, Demented Are
Go, Koffin Kats, Zombina & The Skeletones, among many others.

It is my honor to be good friends with The Mugshots. I like their music, their lyrics and their
attitude. I highly recommend them!

Swedish artist, songwriter, musician and producer. New album out fall of 2016 through Glitterhouse. Guest vocals from french singer Soko and american artist Mark Lanegan

“Rebels know how to stir the pot, but Swedish musician Christine Owman kicks the whole damn thing over... Owman is a multi-instrumentalist songwriting prodigy in the strain of Tom Waits, St. Vincent, and Beck. Owman’s second LP evokes sounds reminiscent of its title: beautiful, emotional, precise, and deadly. “ 9 out of 10 by Alex Lemonde-Gray, Eastern Surf - Vital Reverb (US)

"..beautiful, eerie melodies, sometimes delicate, sometimes ragged arrangements, and a dream-like vocal prettiness can only add to the conundrum. Christine Owman is certainly not going for the obvious."   Jennifer Kelly - Blurt Magazine (US)

“This chanteuse is artistic.. It’s exquisitely haunting and as intriguing she performs backed by 20s silent films.. chilly updates of old-timey accents, then coos like a mother siren waking napping children with a tense of edge instead of a comforting caress.
Jack Rabid - The Big TakeOver (US)

"If you weren't there, you should buy her record anyway and tell people you saw her.".
review by Peter Hemminger - Ffwd Weekly regarding CHRISTINE OWMAN @ Arrata Opera Centre, Calgary Canada 2010

”..most unique performer over the four days..."
review by Stephen Greenwood - Virtual Festivals regarding CHRISTINE OWMAN @ Liverpool Sound City 2010

"It was the most moving performance of Sound City 2010 and lovely example of ‘performance art.”
review by Ed - Shakenstir regarding CHRISTINE OWMAN @ Liverpool Sound City 2010

There's so much you have to do when you're alive. I hate the conventional part of me who struggles with keeping up with what the ideal woman is supposed to look and be like, what latest innovation that'll make me happy or what a happy life is supposed to be like. I struggel with convention every day. It feeds me with unnecessary cravings and makes me compare myself with unrealistic visions. Living today, atleast in my generation equals to the eternal search and race towards getting acknowledgement from others. Getting seen. There once was a saying "I think, therefore I am." Todays version of that is "You see me, therefore I am". I don't have to stand out of the crowd. I just don't want to be a part of it. 
-Christine Owman

Tom Wait's rhythms, PJ Harvey's sensual attitude, Elliott Smith's reserved vocals, the mystique of Twin Peaks combined with Bjork's fresh originality.
