LAB Records, the home of such prominent pop and rock artists as Just Surrender, Not Advised, MiMi Soya, Portia Conn, Pegasus Bridge, The Morning Of, Blitz Kids, are running a very unique giveaway over at www.labrecs.com/store on September 3rd.

For one day only, LAB Records will literally give away their entire roster for free! As one of the most successful independent labels of its kind out there right now, with 15,000 sales this year alone, LAB has built up a solid following of admirers in its short history, and this is their way of giving something back to their fans.
LAB Records CEO Mark Orr said;  “This is a huge time for the label as we come towards the end of our most successful year to date and prepare for a more mainstream sound in 2011.

“Every label gives away digital samplers but we thought - for one day only - it would be a unique and memorable stand to make all of our CD’s absolutely free. It’s our little way of saying ‘thank-you’ to everyone who has supported LAB over the past 3 years.”

So come September 3rd, the following releases will be free, while stocks last - all you’ll need to pay is the postage.

Just Surrender - Phoenix
The Morning Of - The Way I Fell In
Portia Conn - I Don’t Care
Lost On Campus - Tell Them I Had A Wonderful Life

BRANCHING OUT
In 2009 LAB extended the brand to incorporate two emerging companies:
• LAB Apparel launched early in the year with a stylish yet understated range of couture, designed to appeal to upmarket high-street shoppers in the alternative scene.
• LAB Design was formed towards the end of the year by our in-house artwork team, leading the way for inspirational art & branding, and beginning to take business from outside of the roster. As we enter a new decade, the brand takes on new meaning and purpose as the role of the record label changes dramatically.
