http://come.to/chocolax
93 lydgate road, kingswinford, west midlands, DY6 8SF.
Chocolax was set up with the aim of helping people get their material out to others, and to give people the opportunity of getting hold of said material. Chocolax was set up because we felt that we ought to try and help artists/writers/whoever get their stuff out and about, because of this we do everything free of charge, that is we do not add anything on to the price of a record more than the cost of posting it or whatever - we do not profit.
The labels we distribute are* : Bigdumb records, Big scary monsters, Chocolax, Gran and pop, Hello Hello, Sacred geometry
*We are probably not the only people distributing stuff from any of these labels
Fanzines : Bubble wrap, Grate apes, Wet dog

Liquid Television - Chasers
Now defunct Worsester based Liquid Television gained a sizeable following in the midlands through their impressive live perfomances. "Chasers" is the one and only release that documents their sound, inspired by honest grunge music and indie music without parkers.
Sparse003 : Liquid tv - "chasers" CD single
Fake ideal - Weak State Aagain
They're young, urgent, fast paced, they're shouting cos they have something to say and they want you to listen.
Organ said of Fake ideal "Flying straight ahead with an post emo indiecore rush of energy and filthy fast riffs stolen off The Clash and The Pixies and Sunlounger and... A glorious ram rain of a cocky self-knowing self-loving demo, this is brilliant actually, a band who really could matter."
In fact, Organ loved Fake ideal so much that they are releasing something for them in the near future! And you don't argue with Organ do ya?!
Sparse004 : Fake ideal - "Weak state again" CD ep
Disoma - Disoma
Instrumental post-something or other that doesn't take it'self too seriously, but these boys from Southampton still manage to craft a fine tune whether they are considering the human condition or just taking the piss.
Sparse005 : Disoma - "Disoma" CD ep
Go Go Ghidohra - Demonstration disc
Follow up to last years "evening entertainments" album. More electronic post-rock lovliness, that has been compared to kriedler and tortoise. Inspired by witche's, whales and the mysterious power's of Pendle Hill.
