The list of top-notch acts that have passed through our doors continues to grow – check out some of these:

Swound: The recordings done here have taken Radio1 by storm. "What's your
poison" received eight plays in a three week period and prompted Rob Da Bank to name them as one of his top five tips for 2006 – despite them being the only unsigned band in contention – and invited them to record them to record their first Radio1 session on the strength of that demo.

“The production is spot-on, using the gang vocals and three-guitar assault to maximum effect” – check out the press this band has got here: www.swound.co.uk/press.htm

Trippin' over wah: This young band (average age 14!) walked into Random for their first ever studio experience and came out with three songs – recorded and mixed in one day. The results were so strong that they were played on Phil Jupitus' sixmusic breakfast show. Check out their "contempory bluesy swagger with a touch of glam".

Huw Costin: Our own Huw Costin spent his Christmas recording his
album ‘Regrets’ (including Christmas Day, mainly because that was the only time he could get in!) The album – co-produced by Guy Elderfield and with a limited white label run of just 100 – caused such a buzz in the industry that it led to James Endercott naming it at number four in his top songs of 2005 in the NME Yearbook – despite it being an album!

He said: “It’s like the third Big Star album mixed with the Stone Roses. It’s an album – I can’t choose one track. It will make you cry.”

Plays at all the top night spots in Nottingham followed, along with a play of the Christmas song – Full Moon at Christmas Time – on KRCW in LA. Negotiations continue with Wyndham Wallace's Ever Records for an August release.

Amusement Parks on Fire: APOF holed up in Random for most of December 2005 and January 2006 recording their 2nd album for V2 records, to add to the EP that was completed here in Autumn 2005.
They then swapped the atmosphere of Random for the tranquillity and
seclusion of Sigur Ros' studio in Iceland to finish the mix for what is a much anticipated and highly likely to be massive album.
