Upset The Rhythm is an independent record label based in London with a varied roster of leftfield artists and bands; [1] [2] they also operate as a diverse DIY live music promoter. [3] Huw Stephens featured Upset The Rhythm as "purveyors of interesting indie" on his BBC Radio 1 show (24 November 2011) as part of his ongoing 'Label Of Love' [4] feature. As of 2015, Upset The Rhythm had 85 releases.
Upset The Rhythm initially formed in 2003 while its members were organising a concert for Deerhoof. [5] By 2015, Upset The Rhythm had organised about 700 shows. [6]
Upset The Rhythm shows occur each week in venues across London from smaller DIY hubs like Power Lunches to more established venues like The Roundhouse. [7] The record label began in the Summer of 2005, funded by a gift of profits from a The Evens show by Ian MacKaye. [8] [9] The label's first release was a mini-album by Death Sentence: Panda!, [10] followed by debut releases by John Maus, No Age and Future Islands. [11] The company works with unusual and upcoming American acts, and also promotes the UK's DIY music scene, releasing records by Trash Kit, Cold Pumas, The Pheromoans, Pega Monstro [12] Silver Fox, The World [13] and Terry. [14]
By December 2013, Upset the Rhythm's live music promotions included working with Tate Britain and Frieze magazine on their music programming, [15] organising an all day charity concert with artist David Shrigley for Amnesty International and co-founding the art/music festival Yes Way [16] [17] with London gallery Auto Italia South East.
