Karnatone is the studio and record label of reggae dub musician and producer Fullness.

Pronounced as it is written 'Karnatone' is to say 'Corner Tone' in the sound of the Jamaican tongue....This name is a homage to the spirit of the early sound systems of Jamaica that would set up on street corners in towns and villages across the island, entertaining and educating the people with the tones and beats of the day.
As is was then, the sentiment and aim is still the same.... It's a karna tone for the people.

"Positive and spiritual music, giving vehicle to only conscious and uplifting word"

Find a Fiend is a London-based Alternative Pop-Gressive Rock outfit. Picture Biffy Clyro meets Silverchair's Diorama, some of Dredg's moods, add a little Queen here and there and you might have an idea. 

Find a Fiend's second album will be released September 2012. For more info, visit www.findafiend.co.uk.

"Fast and furious! your tracks sound excellent and very well arranged and recorded" - PHIL HARDING (Depeche Mode, Matt Bianco, The Clash, etc...)

"The album is very well paced... and produced" - PIP WILLIAMS (Status Quo, Nightwish, Ringo Starr, The Kinks, etc...)

 During the last two years, the band has played pretty much every small stage in London, released a new single (goo.gl/ZBqiT); won August's "Most Rated" contest (goo.gl/VI7S9); reached the 6th place from the Top 50 at the "Fast Track to Benicassim" heats (goo.gl/ZdMJl), and were nominated on "Exposure Music Awards" as Best Metal Act (goo.gl/Q8DNH) (although you could argue they are not really 'metal').

Jay McCurdy is back in the studio again, this time, no holding back. 

"With a mix of bootleg remixes, back to his roots dance tracks and some close to the bone truths the skills are still there for all to hear"

Drunken Munks
Jmack and Jiddy may sound like characters from a 70’s Blaxploitation flick especially when you throw DJ Frankie Fearless into the mix, but in fact they’re Jason McCurdy, Paul Joseph and Martin Adshead respectively, a 3 piece Hip Hop act from in and around Greater Manchester.
The Drunken Munks combine a love for a wide range of music genres, and a mutual disinterest for the tedium arising from much of the recent and current hip hop trends (“were not gangsta and don’t intend to be pimps!”); creating an exciting and uncompromising style and approach to the game whilst they continue to embrace the the techniques of past and contemporary greats they are also contributing to the development of the future.
Its been an incredible year for The Drunken Munks so far having supported some huge names in the music industry the biggest being the Sugar Hill Gang, also they were due to support the Furious 5 unfortunately this was cancelled. However they have hyped up crowds in support for K-Lashnekoff, DJ Food, The Dub Pistols and recently the up coming Clement Marfo & the Frontline. For the lads though it was the headline warm up spot for Mix Master Mike on his November date in Manchester that really got the crowds talking.
However the year does not stop there for the lads, they have since been featured on BBC Manchester Introducing as the Artists of the week and their music is now starting filter out to the masses, spreading its infectious party vibe and hard-line no nonsense beats.
The DM’s have been formed for around 6 years now and after early jaunts out supporting the People Under the Stairs and Giant Panda in the mid naughties have since gone back under the radar to develop and busy themselves in the creation and performance aspects of what they do, so that when they do it now, they do it well. Their difference of opinion and also varying musical tastes and influences can be heard throughout their music from the highly popular hard-line “Wack Mc’s” to the smooth and funky “You Gave Me Music” and the depth of “Darkness” featuring the Happy Monday’s Julie Gordon, its clear to see that whilst the lads clearly sing from the same rap sheet they have taken totally different paths to arrive at their chosen musical destination.
So as the DM’s continue to energise the scene with their distinctive aesthetic, infusing break beat, jazz, rock and funk with their hip hop roots we hope that you will enjoy what you hear and support the Drunken Munks with their future exploits.

Manchester Record Label &amp; Collective.
