Earache Records founder Digby Pearson recently gave an insightful answer as to exactly why the label signed Pitchshifter back in the early 90’s. The full article can be read here, while an excerpt can be found below:
“I actually dunno why I bothered with Pitch Shifter, what a collosal waste of space that band turned out to be. The short answer is because they were a local Nottingham band, we moved in similar circles, they were on our doorstep and I’d seen their buzz building up close. In truth, the main reason is because they pretty much blagged themselves onto on the label. PSI are the only band I’ve worked with who kinda begged to be signed up to the label – and during their 4 year stint on Earache released 2 x EPs & 2 x albums. The band later also campaigned and begged- very vociferously, very bitterly and publicly – to be let go from the label deal whilst it was still ongoing. They got their wish.”
