"Four lads who shook the Department of Work and Pensions" - it's a phrase that trips off the tongue, testament indeed to the profound impact that The Iain Duncan Smiths have had on not just popular music history but also welfare reform.

Tales of the simmering tensions between between front duo Iain 'Psycho' Duncan Smith and Iain 'Laughing Boy' Duncan Smith are legendary, but one mustn't overlook the contributions of Iain "The Quiet One" Duncan Smith and Iain "The Other Quiet One" Duncan Smith.

Truly there has never been another band like them*. Ladies and gentlemen, please lower your caps for The Iain Duncan Smiths.

Duotone is the alias of songwriter Barney Morse-Brown, cellist with multi-platinum artist Birdy and BBC Folk Award winners the Imagined Village, Chris Wood, Eliza Carthy and Jackie Oates.

As well as two ‘5 star’ albums, Duotone has a long list of captivating festival appearances to his name, among them ‘End of the Road’ and ‘Green Man’. With his mesmerising solo performances, which move seamlessly between riotous energy and heartfelt intimacy, it is easy to see why Duotone has a rapidly growing fan base.

MANIFESTO:-

Smugglers Records was founded in the midst of the UK’s worst recession since the second world war. As the fat cats scattered and buckled under the weight of their own greed, and the music industry seemed to die a quick and solitary death. At the back of a small pub by the sea, as the rolling winds argued ferociously outside and someone fumbled around on a violin, Smugglers was borne to the clink of ale glasses and the promise of a new way of doing things.

Smugglers Records is not a business, nor does it want to get rich. We are free from the trappings of profit margins and this gives us the power to take risks with the music we release. Sustainability for smugglers records is about ecology, not economics.

We have no executives, or managers. We have no self congratulating Audits or reviews. We do not release music in an attempt to accumulate profits. We attempt to release music that is honest and powerful, that attempts even for a moment, to make us all feel a little less alone on this planet. We release music for the same reason that we have sung, banged on drums and tuned tortoise guts since first people climbed down from the trees.

We run various nights and parties across the UK. We release music and distribute it digitally and physically across the country. We work together, as a collective, to get things done and to keep the ball rolling and we are always looking for people to join us on our journey. Capitalism is dying, you can read it in the free newspapers while you make your way to work. You can watch it on the televisions and you can see it for yourself in the borded up shop fronts on the highstreet. If we are going to survive, we must devise new ways of moving forward. The music industry is in it’s final hours, but music itself will never die, in fact it’s only just getting started.
