Some of you may have seen my post in the facebook group, and I have been tempted enough to start a very small label. I have made some plans, these may not even happen but no harm giving it a shot. I know I wouldn't be short on support, Western Europe, Ireland, UK etc. needs more distro selection, although I plan to ship to most places really. When I sold tapes on my bandcamp they were 4 euro shipping to US, where as when I buy from US it's usually 13 and two tapes comes to 30 euro. I have a few artists on board, relatively new ones for now, as opposed to printing tapes that are already available on other sites/stores. So far Secluded Alchemist, Mistveil, Isegrimm and a few others are up for being the first to be pressed. I am only going to print 5 copies of 5 different albums first, make some money to print more and expand on the shop and see where it goes. If I end up selling the things I print and that's it, so be it, I have at least helped distribute artists around the place. Anyways, would this be something people would support/be interested in? I am currently getting resources together, art/graphics and finding out what site works best to host merch on. Nice one lads.

Sounds awesome. Good to have another label around, and that's a strong roster right off the bat. Keep us updated on releases, I'll definitely pick some up.

Problem for now is costs will mean I will only have a small stock. Once that stock is sold out I can print double for the next pressing, I'm worried it'll be a bit of a mess.
I still want to give it a go. I'll be keeping this space posted anyways.

This sounds great! Regarding your initial purchase, selling, and then buying doable, I tend to do this my my t-shirts and get on pretty well with it, mostly anyway. If it's anything like my merch, you'll get an influx of sales one month and a dry one the next. Definitely keep at it though, because I think it's needed! Also, if you're after any artwork at all, then please consider me. I'm not sure if you saw my post on the Facebook group but there's a couple of pictures of my work there, I'd definitely be game to help out!
