It's almost too much to handle...I know where I'm gonna be spending my Saturday nights for a while! Established way back in 1978 as the product of a record shop set up by Geoff Travis in West London, the label went on to sign legendary punk band The Buzzcocks. It was in 1983 however that Rough Trade began the first of many colossal contributions to the indie world when it signed The Smiths. During this time the label also started distribution of fanzines No Cure. The company collapsed in the early nineties due to bankruptcy, but like the proverbial phoenix reborn from the ashes, Rough Trade returned and its artists in the early 2000's can be seen to be single handedly responsible for restarting guitar music in the charts, as well as the indie scene within Britain, with The Strokes and The Libertines being the main culprits. The success of these bands saw a revitalised label which since then has continued to bring the very cutting edge of indie acts. Amongst their impressive roster of artists are: Arcade Fire, Howler, Mystery Jets, Belle and Sebastian and Super Furry Animals. Any label who signs the likes of The Libertines, The Strokes and The Smiths deserve recognition in my book, so here's to you Rough Trade; keep up the good work and don't go bankrupt again.
