Hello! It's not long until we draw a line under 2014 and if I'm completely honest, it couldn't come quick enough. In terms of professional luck, this simply hasn't been my year. That doesn't mean that there hasn't been anything to celebrate though. The release of Quiet One in the summer was by far the most important event of 2014, it not only allowed me to exorcise 12 songs from my mind, but it also introduced so much to Hurt Records. Before Quiet One, we didn't have a support service, we didn't have a physical office and production room (to create..  … Read More

Let me explain the idea I had a few months ago and then I'll explain where 'it's at' today. The concept is fairly simple, I want to play my album 'front-to-back' live, infront of you.

Hello everyone,I'd just like to spend a few minutes explaining the process that you will need to undertake in order to land a 'signed copy' of the Quiet One album. An issue appeared to me today as I received the very first copy (mentally excited, almost fainted) because it came shrink wrapped in a plastic wrapping. Now I knew that the albums would be wrapped in plastic, however I originally thought they would be in a sort of plastic sleeve... they aren't...
