We have not updated this part of our site for a while and as a result we shall be changing this very soon. Adding a previous campaign section, so you can see what we have been up to. The mini update below shows you which bands are new to the PR roster.

New bands to ILP:
Tremonti
Darkthrone
Cult of Luna
Die! Die! Die!
Throne
Limb
Cut Yourself In Half

We are also working on some pretty exciting new projects as 2013 comes in. More to be revealed once everyone gets back to work.

Today at ILP head quarters we are announcing Lone Wolf’s pledge campaign and new album, The Lovers. It’s been a quiet year on the surface for Paul Marshall AKA Lone Wolf but underneath the skin he has been holed up in a studio with good friends of ours James Kenosha and Jon Fougler. You can hear the first track (The Swan of Meander) on our soundcloud player. It’s wonderful.

It’s been a hectic few weeks with Live At Leeds Festival and I Like Trains, Blacklisters, Black Moth all releasing amazing albums lots to look forward plus the delayed release Stalking Horse album Specters coming out on the 28th May. Record Pressing issues.

Lots of cool projects later in the year and some exciting things planned for Beacons Festival too.

Happy Monday

It gives us immense pleasure to be working on Live At Leeds once again. The Live At Leeds announcement and launch event takes place at The Wardrobe, Leeds on Monday 30^th January at 6pm.  Initial Line-Up revealed on Tuesday morning. It’s been fun catching up on the rumour mill for this whilst trying to write a press release.

Our first blog post and a space in which we hope to write about our clients and projects more often and on a more personal level. 2012 has started off extremely brightly for us. We have moved offices, bang into the city centre to Duke Studios with a host of talented people and businesses (including Rising Digital, HebeMedia, Rabbithole, Leeds College of Art, Lord Whitney amongst others). Duke Studios has a co-working ethos and is based at Munro House, people are calling it the Arts Quarter of Leeds. The first few weeks here and it already feels like home. We also have this beautiful new website designed by xiiixiii. At the end of last year we took down our site and remodelled from scratch. We met Mike (xiiixiii) at Constellations 2011 after he designed the newspaper and projections for the festival. We chatted amongst the music and gave him a simple brief which he fulfilled beyond our beliefs. We look forward to working again with xiiixiii soon.

Upcoming projects for us include Live at Leeds 2012, I Like Trains’s 3^rd Album which was announced this morning, INME’s return, Holy State who joined the Brew roster with their debut album out in April. Blacklisters also have an album out in April. We are looking after a couple of projects from previous Leeds greats, Whiskas from Forward Russia debut album Honour Before Glorys’ This is Broken Lines plus Wu’s (ThisEtAl) new band Stalking Horse. We do have a few more exciting projects in the pipeline and will shout about these once we get the go ahead.
