The crowd at The Room seen from the stage

ABOUT

The practice room where Nightform started, with amps and a tape machine

WE STARTED IN A PRACTICE ROOM

Nightform exists because a record that only ever gets played to forty people in a basement deserves to be a physical object anyway. We started in 2019 with one 7-inch and a rucksack. We now press four to six records a year, and we put every one of them on a stage we control.

We are not trying to be big. We are trying to be the label that answers, that pays on time, that tells you honestly whether the record is finished. Our whole model is that the pressing, the poster, the show and the door money all sit in the same building, so nothing gets lost between them.

HOW WE WORK

  1. 01

    WE ANSWER EVERYTHING.

    Every demo gets a reply from a person, usually inside three weeks. A no is still an answer.

  2. 02

    SPLITS ARE 50/50, AFTER COSTS.

    Pressing, mastering and artwork come off the top, then everything is halved. The spreadsheet is yours whenever you ask for it.

  3. 03

    THE RIGHTS STAY YOURS.

    We license a record for five years. After that it reverts, and you keep the masters the whole way through.

AN INDEPENDENT LABEL AND A ROOM LOUD ENOUGH TO PROVE IT
