Led
By Example was born out of two labels from
the UK :b&g Records was a small mp3 based label who promoted
small bands along side larger ones : Far
Q Records specialise in underground punk from around the world.
Although
pretty much defunct now, it was set up to promote bands primarily from
the UK. After a year running and some sales through the distro/order
section we had a change of direction as I moved to Brisbane, Australia
to be with my girlfriend. The idea was that we could promote UK band
in Australia and vice versa. OK, so good in theory but through band
and other label commitments from Paul and me being a million miles away
it didn't really work!
We are
now up to nearly four years existance and not a lot gained, but hopefully
we bought a bit of punk into peoples lives that they may not have heard
of it if it weren't for us! :) I have some ideas, but I'll keep them
under wraps until they are set!
But, if
you are a band, label, promoter or whatever and are involved in punk
then still get in touch with me on ben @ ledbyexample.com, you never
know what might happen!!!
...keep
it real, keep it punk and above all, be Led By Example.
