www.quickfixrecordings.co.uk Quickfix Recordings is an independent label based originally based in Oxford but now has a roster of global musicians.

It was started with the aim of giving the flagging music industry a much - needed shot of musical excitement. Ten years down the line and over 20 successful releases (including debuts by bands such as Youthmovie Sountrack Strategies and Smilex) Quickfix Recordings continues to push new music. The idea of Quickfix Recordings was conceived whilst living in Manchester in 1997 where we were inspired b

y the attitude of the local DIY Music scene there. Manchester had a lot going for it not only was it the home of the legendry Factory Records it was also home to InTheCity and the developing Beehive Mill and Northern Quarter scene. We soon set up a small online compilation tape subscription label called Glass Axe. Each tape was hand copied over old spoken word and nursery rhyme tapes and sent to subscribers featuring the best in up and coming unsigned bands from both Oxford and Manchester. In 2000 we returned to Oxford, in the time we had been away the Oxford Music scene had exploded with the coming of Radio 1 Sound City. Great bands such as the The Rock of Travolta, Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia, Eeeblee and a girl band called Caliber had formed and so Quickfix Recordings was born. Our debut release by Caliber 'Someday Now' was released in the January 2002. Quickfix Recordings soon developed from being a basic record label and progressed to artist management, recording, gig promoting and radio shows. For a number of years we put together the popular local music radio show 'The Fortnightly Fix' on Oxford's Passion 107.9fm and have also had shows on student radio Oxide and OX4 Radio. Over the past 14 years we have promoted gigs at many Oxfordshire venues including The Wheatsheaf, Fat Lils, The Ex Hall, Kiss Bar, The Zodiac and The Port Mahon. Gig promotion for us started with helping book bills for the local Abingdon Skittle Alley collective back in 2002, we then helped with the One Louder nights at The Wheatsheaf when, in 2004 we took over the regular monthly slot and turned them into Quickfix Recordings nights. Over the years we have put on a whole host of bands of all styles from Oxfordshire and also further a field, including Frank Turner, Meanwhile... Back In Communist Russia, Fixers, Youthmovies, To The Bones, Nought and Meet Me In St Louis.

14 years on we still continue to push new music.

2 pics from at the turn of the century (2001/2? Someone tell me! ?)

Lee: at the time was an embryo ( just an idea!) with propped up by on acoustic - we played anywhere we could to network and find band members - was an old friend from oxpens, the haze and helping make some demos including the song pvc. When we got offered the little tent at truck and stu couldn’t do it, nick stepped in! for the last song we got jen up by on play bass on a song lee released later called the joker (including a soon to be notorious rap called ‘gynaecologist song’) and pat on bongos (just hidden away - he broke a maraca on that one song!) plus our friends at the time (in in some cases forever 👊). is there too but not on stage - she played in caliber on the saturday - i think I met at that festival (he was in capt howdy) but hadn’t seen him play (in billy pure) yet. Everyone else in the story can retain some anonymity unless they want to come forward but some may recognise fine musicians from awesome oxford bands of the time and other notable oxford music luminaires in the throng taken after whole we watched black candy headline the Sunday.

I remember great feedback (Hal from vade mecum/previously of the haze) marvelled at the melodies - most of the songs ended up in beg for it - pvc, she won’t get out of bed, time of our lives? And we were asked back to the small tent the next year which as a full band (after only a handful of gigs) kind of set our reputation as it was a mini riot with people throwing food and things and other chaotic goings on… I broke my nose (permanently) and it made nightshift’s 100 top oxford music moments list. But best of all was we won the respect of tons of bands we looked up to like lapsus linguae, Reuben, the rock of travolta, meanwhile, back in communist Russia… and many more and fast tracked us into being a permanent fixture in the giglist. From tiny acorns… like truck festival itself except not famous. 😉
