Resilience Records is a label dealing specifically with Thrash and Hardcore, The reason for chosing these two styles of music is quite simple, not only are they often quite similar in sound (you couldn't have a hardcore label and not include a band like Crumbsuckers, similarly you couldn't have a thrash label and not include DRI!) but because i have a personal love for both styles of music, and could see a great resurgence coming in both scenes in the UK.

Way before 2006 I had wanted to start a record label, but had never felt right with knowing what type of music or which bands to associate it with. Although i felt lucky enough to know a lot of fantastic local artists I never felt I could promote them in the way I would have liked. During 2006 I discovered www.UKThrash.co.uk and this opened up my eyes to an emerging scene that really stood out to me as being different, and something close to my heart. It became apparent that there was talk of putting out a compilation record of all the bands and it all seemed to click for me, and I knew finally where I could start from.
As far as the hardcore side of things, well... I just love it! I am not interested in "modern hardcore" particuarly and especially not any of that "post-hardcore, emo" shit. The sort of hardcore I would like to be promoting through this label is stuff reminicent to great older bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag, Cro-mags and DRI etc. I would like to be able to think that i could put out a split release from any two artists associated with the label and know that both the Thrashers and the Hardcore guys will really be able to like both bands.

It is my passion for both of these types of music that has inspired me to start this label, and i would hope i am able to give both scenes a little bit of well needed publicity.
