General Pants Co. Kick-Starting Artists’ Careers

As summer’s buttery rays get ready to tickle the earth, so touches down three hot new signings to the Australian independent music landscape via General Pants Co.’s Major Label.

“Are we breaking new ground, breaking Gaga’s, turning the music world on its head? No. We’re making noise, having fun and connecting with young people making cool music." Jethro Lyons, General Pants Co. Brand Manager

Major Label, a record label owned and run by General Pants Co. has just released its three-artist catalogue for December.

Sydney’s Kite Club, Perth’s Felicity Groom, and The Bungalows from the south coast of NSW make up this month’s brand new signings, and their singles can be streamed from the Major Label website here.

Kite Club is the solo project of 21-year-old Sydney artist Nicholas D. Futcher. Kite Club’s single is called Very Necessary, and is a spectral bouquet of pop that blossoms in the eardrum, with soothing shapes of sound bouncing all around.

Felicity Groom’s release is called Finders & Keepers, and she plays a kind of dark folk music heavily inspired by guys like Nick Cave, Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen, and ladies like Kate Bush, Françoise Hardy and Melanie.

The Bungalows proudly embrace everything that a south coast upbringing involves – surf, sun and the odd dairy cow. Their ‘garage by the sea’ stylings are sure to get your foot tapping and those hips shaking. Their single is Killer and will no doubt appeal to listeners of all ages.

Major Label is proud to have provided a platform and promotional vehicle for independent musicians in the process of kick-starting their careers. With this latest set of releases, the label’s catalogue now boasts 15 singles from 15 very talented acts, several of which have since received full-tilt record deals and wide acclaim.

If you’re in a band and want to become a Major Label artist, shoot Henry Roberts an email at [email protected] or bring your demo into any General Pants Co. store for consideration.
