On it, you'll find:

WELL DONE TO MUMFORD & SONS!

We don't look after them in any shape or form, but Self Raising would like to say a MASSIVE congratulations to Mumford & Sons for debuting at no. 11 on the album charts!

We first met when Rod played with them back last February (which is when we met James Yuill too - a good night), and have been in love with their music ever since.

you can buy their album here from iTunes. Do. It's awesome

WELL DONE!

Track of the Day for Q Magazine

Rob Cowen & The Dissidents' 'Heartache' is Q Magazine website's Track of the Day!

http://news.qthemusic.com/2009/10/rob_cowen_the_dissidents_-_hea.html

Fantastic!

"The debut single of Yorkshire-born singer-songwriter Rob Cowen and his band The Dissidents, is a Bruce Springsteen one indeed. Not that there's anything wrong with that, far from it.
The pounding and big guitars of Heartache, like The Boss circa Born To Run, are layered underneath big choruses, bigger harmonies and a well-placed glockenspiel on this heartfelt track of stadium-sized, singalong-friendly and intoxicatingly engaging open-road rock."

Autumn Sale & Mixtape

So, Autumn has come and as we mentioned before, it's been a whole year since 'Same Old Lines' came out!

So celebrate and mark this, we've decided to do a special sale on Rod Thomas' 'Until Something Fits' album and make it available at £5 including P&P. "Wow!" I hear you cry.

[Click here to buy]

You can also enjoy a free mixtape from Martipants called 'Bleeps and Squeaks'. It's rather good!
