A BRAND STUDIO FOR ARTISTS AND BANDS.

Identity systems, release packaging and merch for people who make music. Built by people who have toured, self released, and sold the shirts at the back of the room.

What we do

Brand audit

Where you start. An honest read on what you already have, what is working, and what is quietly costing you shows and streams.

Identity

The wordmark, the mark, the palette, the type. The things that stay the same while the music changes.

EPK

One link you can send a booker, a writer or a label without apologising for it first. Bio, photos, music, live history, contact.

Website

A real site you own, not a link tree renting your audience to somebody else. Built to update without calling us.

Merch system

Designs plus a print on demand pipeline, so you can sell without buying fifty hoodies first. Order real inventory when the numbers say to, not before.

Social look

Templates and rules so your posts look like they came from the same world, made by you, at the speed you actually post.

MOST DESIGNERS HAVE NEVER LOADED A VAN.

We have toured, run the releases, made the merch, and sat at the table selling it.

That is the whole difference. We know what a cover has to do on a phone screen the size of a stamp, what a shirt has to do at eleven at night in a room with two working lights, and how little time anyone gives you to decide either one. A studio that has not been on that side of it is guessing.

WE PUBLISH THE SYSTEM.

Short pieces on the parts of this that artists are never taught. How to stop renting your audience to a link tree. How to sell merch without losing money on it. What an EPK needs before anyone will open it. No schedule, no filler, sent when there is something worth sending.
