At The Phonograph, there’s pretty much nothing more pivotal to our lives than music. Tunes for when you’re up, when you’re down, when you’re driving, when you’re in the shower – and that’s not to mention the stuff you have to stop everything for and just listen. Basically, we live and breathe music – and we created The Phonograph to bring together everything we love about it.
Listening to records we’re crazy about, discovering new ones we’ve never experienced the likes of before, promoting what we feel should be shown more love, going to see the artists we adore (and sometimes ones we don’t) – all highlights of being a music lover. But the best part is getting to share our thoughts with a bunch of people as passionate as we are; that’s why we’ve created a home for our thoughts here.
There’s no stone we’ll leave unturned when it comes to representing artists that deserve to be represented. Even just in Leeds, where we’re based, up-and-coming bands make music that we feel is as exciting as bands playing arenas and stadiums, and it’s our goal to make sure they’re getting the recognition they should be.
More and more artists are putting out cross-genre, line-blurring masterpieces – this is something we’re passionate about representing at The Phonograph. There’s no box we need to fit into, because boxes are boring – why should people have to limit the things they love based on something as arbitrary as genre? If it makes you feel something, you’ll find it here.
