My name is Pierre Hall and I am Label/Marketing Manager at [PIAS] and Label Manager/ A & R at Speedy Wunderground Records.

For [PIAS] I run and oversee campaigns for the following labels – Bella Union, MUTE, DFA, (Erasure, Goldfrapp, Father John Misty, John Grant, Beach House, Factory Floor, Tim Burgess etc) as well as direct deals with bands like The Cribs and LIFE.

Previously I’ve also worked with Nadine Shah (I ran her Mercury-nominated ‘Holiday Destination’ campaign in the UK), Garbage, Martha Wainwright and helped run the Fat White Family’s label Without Consent – a co-venture with [PIAS].

I am also Label Manager/A & R for Speedy Wunderground which I run alongside the producer Dan Carey and the engineer Alexis Smith.

Over the last 7 years we’ve put out records for Squid, black midi, Black Country New Road, Kae Tempest, Loyle Carner and loads more.

Last year we released our very first album ‘Positive Mental Health Music’ by South London band Tiña and have recently signed a band from Hebden Bridge called The Lounge Society.

We recently won the award for the ‘Best Small Label’ from AIM after being nominated for the second year running.
About the label, The Quietus recently said: ‘The label has become genuinely prestigious. It is not ridiculous to wonder one day if it will be looked upon with the same reverence as labels like Factory, Sarah, Zoo or Creation receive today.’
