Bringing in the festive season with a present for you all, brand new signing Crying Loser 😁

Originating from noisy improvisations and chaotic concoctions recorded in a basement in Cork, Ireland. Crying Loser is a raw byproduct of abrasive, frenzied and hypnotic energy, looking to scratch the miserable itch of life at the bottom of the barrel🫡

Following two successful tours across France and multiple shows all over Ireland & UK, Crying Loser’s upcoming full length album The Ick, pushes the limits of the groups’s chaotic and feverish compositions

Their brand new single from the upcoming album ‘Isn’t it Better than Staying in Bed’ is out now - go treat yourself ears!

My debut album Kickstarter campaign is live!! 💥

After 3 years of writing, recording, producing, mixing, and learning… my debut album is finally complete! I cannot even begin to guess how many hours I’ve spent in my garage with my headphones on, or how many dog walks, car journeys and late nights I’ve passed scrutinising the mixes. But it is DONE and, having received the final masters yesterday, I truly cannot tell you how deeply proud I am of this record. Now comes the crucial next step: releasing it into the world.

Nowadays it is all too easy for new music to disappear into the void and I am desperate for this not to happen. This is why I’m launching a Kickstarter campaign. For those who haven’t used Kickstarter before, it’s a platform where you can support creators by purchasing unique rewards - and in doing so, help fund their projects. In my case, I’m hoping to raise enough to cover some PR and digital marketing for the record, in the hope that this will ensure it reaches the right people.

To be clear, I am not asking for donations! The Kickstarter rewards are all bespoke merch, services or experiences that you can only get via this campaign. Take a look. It’s all exciting stuff!

🌟 I’m endlessly grateful for each and every one of you out there. Whether you pledge or simply share this post, your support helps my debut album dreams come true. This will be an all-or-nothing campaign — I need to raise the full amount or I won’t receive any pledges - and every bit of support means the world to me. Let’s do this!!

Please give a very warm welcome to the WOM roster: singer songwriter Kelli Blanchett !!😁

Kelli, long time collaborator of pop-artist Self Esteem, is embarking on her solo journey. Having taken time out for most of 2025 (while her chronic illness kicked her ass), she’s wrote a new EP chronicling her journey navigating being a fun gal whilst also being ill at the same time🖤

Kelli’s next single from the EP ‘For You Not Me’ is out this Tuesday - be the first to hear this lovely track and pre save it now! https://ffm.to/kelliblanchett-foryounotme

The 15th of November will mark a whole year since the passing of Wipe Out Music founder and dear friend, John Esplen.

So much has changed in the past 12 months, and although John has been a terrible miss, Wipe Out continues to be a force in creating opportunities for musicians in the North East, the rest of the UK, and all around the world.

We are ever thankful that we’re able to continue John’s legacy, and in the interest of marking this occasion with something positive, Wipe Out will be making a donation to Cancer Research UK.

An important charity for everyone affected by cancer, Cancer Research UK offers Music Therapy, which helps those who are suffering. This therapy is not about learning or playing an instrument, but simply allowing music to bring joy to those living with symptoms, side effects from treatment, or mental health challenges from battling the disease.

If you’re in a position to do so and wish to join us in celebrating John’s life and tireless commitment to music, please consider donating to this fantastic charity.

The Wipe Out Team x
