For any Halifax folk, we’re playing @GraystonThe on 12th April - it’s a fundraiser for the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, a charity which is close to my heart because they looked after my brother when he was tiny x

Thanks to everyone who has helped with our fundraising so far this month. I’ve been trying to raise £400 to pay off a bank loan taken out to cover previous losses. £266 raised so far.

If you can help (and want to) then check out our merch page https://t.co/MxbRdLsNZP

Thanks

Had such a great time at The Brude last night, such a lovely crowd, thanks everyone for making it so special ☺️

Honestly, I'm a huge 2009 guy.

We’re supporting Wakefield indie pop legends The Research at The Brudenell in a week and a bit! It’s our first gig in Leeds in ages, can’t wait :-)

As mentioned the other week there is no intention of stopping Philophobia BUT there are one or two things we need to address.

I have lots of thoughts and plans to manage spending with a smaller and less active roster. More of those will follow in the coming months.

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

So in the spirit of two birds, one stone, I am going to post throughout January about the releases on which we lost money and still have copies left (I think there’s 14 of these).

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

As there are so many left, I am selling them for £2 each. I think it’s a good collection (see track listing in photo) and it’s got ace artwork by Russell from The Research. The digital copy also includes a compilation of covers by various PHOP bands of other PHOP bands.

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

I wasn’t successful so changed to a double CD which was more affordable. Some of the tracks were still on a physical format for the first time but I don’t think it had the same impact as vinyl could have. It probably could have just been on one CD as well, maybe even digital only

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

Initially the compilation was meant to be a double vinyl release. Most of the tracks would be on vinyl for the first time. Some had only be available digitally before. It was obviously going to be expensive so I tried to get funding to release it.

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

While it did certainly celebrate the label - I think the 22 tracks certainly highlight the wealth of great stuff I was fortunate enough to release - financially it didn’t work and lost money instead of raising any.

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

The first release to highlight is the Wanna Buy A Record? compilation. This release after all was a celebration of the first ten years of the label. It was also hoped to raise some money for clear debt.

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

Please help if and where you can. Buy if you can, download a track, spread the word to others. From many raindrops a river flows

[Philophobia Music @PhilophobiaMus]

I appreciate a number of you already have some of these, and some that don’t have them don’t want them. It is, however, a final squeeze on these to (hopefully) pay off the loan that was taken out (in 2019) to draw a line under the spending of the previous decade.
