Too Pure

Too Pure was a London-based independent record label formed in 1990 by Richard Roberts and Paul Cox. The label gained prominence after the release of PJ Harvey's debut album Dry in 1992, with funding support from Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of 4AD. Too Pure later became majority owned by the Beggars Group. In April 2008, Beggars Group decided to retire the Too Pure imprint and transferred key artists to their subsidiary label, 4AD. The label operated a monthly subscription service called The Singles Club until December 2017 when it ceased operations. Today, its catalogue is part of Beggars Arkive.

Limited and Numbered 7" as part of the Too Pure Singles Club. This single was recorded live at Greenmount Studios (Pulled Apart By Horses, Post War Glamour Girls) and captures the band’s dynamic sound and raw energy. These songs mark the first batch written with Hodson as they prepare to record their third album, to be released in 2018. Blacklisters formed in 2008, quickly earning a reputation as a formidable live act through aggressive, confrontational performances riddled with dark humour, drawing comparisons to The Jesus Lizard and Pissed Jeans. In 2009 they released the Swords 7” on Best Enemies Records and in 2010 the Belt Party EP on Childhood Sweetheart Records. Their reputation as an intense live act continued to grow as they toured with the likes of Kong and Pulled Apart by Horses and played incendiary sets at the Leeds and Reading Festivals. Their debut album BLKLSTRS was released to acclaim in 2012 on the now defunct Leeds label Brew Records, resulting in praise from the likes of Kerrang, NME, Rock Sound, The Quietus, Loud and Quiet, Artrocker, Rock A Rolla and Drowned in Sound, as well as an invitation to record a live session at Maida Vale studios for the Radio 1 Rock Show. Adult, their second album, was recorded with producer Matt Johnson and released on the Small Town America label in 2015. The album was a clear progression for the band, demonstrating a growing confidence in their song writing and performance, from abstract art noise to the unrelenting, brutally minimalist riffs that first put them on the radar.
