About Us
Grebo /ˈgriːbəʊ/ A Vinyl centric (micro) Independent Record
Label.
Grebo Records started out in 2012 as an online shop selling
rare & hard to source American vinyl to a UK audience.
In 2013 we switched to become a UK based label working with new
and unsigned Brit bands, although we still carry a small amount of Distro, the
primary focus is now the Label.
Info for Bands / Submissions
Grebo’s target collaborations are for new, young, and
typically unsigned, bands. We can help get your ‘self produced release’ out in
a physical form. Our deals are typically under license allowing you remain in
control and still pursue that ‘Record Deal’. Grebo are not currently looking
to: ‘Sign’ bands in the traditional sense, nor to pay advances and give you a 5
album deal. Although we love you, and want to, we are just not that kind of
label. We just make records 1 at a time.
Grebo is a part-time, self funded endeavour led by someone
with a day job and helped out by friends. To make sure you receive every bit of
attention you deserve we need to be fully behind what you are doing as a band.
We need to feel that buzz and want to come home from one job and start another.
Therefore not only are we looking for bands that have potential to sell
records, we are also looking for bands with a sound and an attitude we like and
can work with (and who want to work closely with us).
Vinyl comes in several formats, 7" 12" & LPs.
We only do short runs so making records isn't cheap and neither of us are going
to become rich from the proceeds. But it is cool, really cool. Therefore, with
this in mind, we have decided not to release any more 10/12" EPs. They
just aren't viable for either of us, Album's are the way forward for Grebo
Vinyl, although we still release singles if we believe a band has potential to
shift them. Gig sales have proven to be an active part of Grebo Sales so being
an active, regularly gigging band is a must.
If you like the sound of what we do, and want to put
something forward, please send a link to your online music to
Admin@greborecords.co.uk. Please send a brief about the band, where you've
been, what you're doing and where you're going. If you can also include an
outline of what you think you are looking for by teaming up with us, that would
be grand. We have replied to every act that has contacted us so far, but please
understand that with limited time and resources for us to promote what we have
released thus far - reviewing submissions can sometimes take a back seat, but
we will get back to you!
