Fat White Family launch their own label

In-demand South London band Fat White Family have finally signed a record deal, on the conditions that they’re allowed to start up their own subsidiary label.

A new start-up called ‘Without Consent’ has been commissioned, err, with the consent of PIAS, who’ve just signed the band for a release of the follow-up to last year’s ‘Champagne Holocaust’ debut.

Speaking to Music Week, the group’s manager Stuart Green confirmed the deal, stating that it suited both parties. “The band attracted a lot of interest from labels both big and small over the last few months but when I met with [PIAS owner] Craig Caukill and was asked if the band would like their own label this became the obvious solution,” he said.
