Smalltown America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smalltown America is a London, UK based independent record label whose aim is to "to cultivate a productive staff of music lovers, and a self-sustainable business model — through which artists can release the best records they can possibly produce."
As well as promoting and producing regular gigs across the country, the label has developed a reputation in the industry for their Public Service Broadcast compilation CDs.
Originally set up by Jetplane Landing as the platform for their releases, the label has now released over 30 records, including 16 Jetplane Landing albums/EPs/Singles and eight Public Service Broadcast compilation CDs.
Forthcoming releases include the next volume of the Public Service Broadcast series, the debut single from Irish electro duo Oppenheimer, a new single (and debut album before the end of 2006) from The Young Playthings, a new Jetplane Landing album, and further releases from Fickle Public.
