Gringo

Gringo is an indie label based in Nottingham, UK. Founded and run by Matt Gringo, the label has been a prominent force in the independent music scene since its inception.
With a diverse roster of talented artists, Gringo has consistently released high-quality music across various genres including rock, punk, and experimental. The label's commitment to nurturing unique voices and pushing boundaries has earned them a reputation for being at the forefront of cutting-edge music.
Whether it's *bands* or *solo artists*, Gringo continues to champion emerging talent while also working with established acts. Their dedication to supporting their artists throughout every step of their musical journey sets them apart from other labels.

FFO: Sustained exercises in tension. Personal healing. Dischord Records. The Unit Ama make music that explodes outward: dense but soothing metronomic pulses morph into a wild fracturing of the traditional rock trio. The Unit Ama take their time. They act on their own terms. This applies to their music and their work-rate. Two albums and a handful of singles in twenty years. Sporadic gigs. No endless Bandcamp messages or weekly mailing list updates. Rare missions outside their native north-east. 

And then… Toward is their second studio album and their second Gringo release. It’s not their ‘pandemic’ album but does see the band considering the important things: post-traumatic growth, insight through experience. Utilising the past to navigate towards a meaningful future. Toward was self-produced and will probably get tagged as post-hardcore which is fair enough. But it’s also informed by post-punk, jazz and folk, and by working closely together for two decades.
