Synchronisation licensing

We welcome enquiries about using our music in all media.  Over the past four decades we’ve accumulated a catalogue approaching 10,000 tracks by highly credible and seminal artists, mainly from the alternative rock, punk, gothic & indie world, but also embracing quality Americana, ambient techno and psychedelic genres.

Our music has appeared on TV in programmes such as The Sopranos (HBO), Lilyhammer (Netflix), Buffy The Vampire Slayer (20th C. Fox) and Californication (Showtime).  It has advertised the Vans, Bottega Veneta, Kia Stinger and Nike brands, and enhanced EA video Games.  It's featured in films such as CBGB, the Japanese manga movie Yu-Go-Oh!, and been requested by film directors such as Martin Scorsese, Rosanna Arquette and Jonathan Demme.  Our releases have been chosen to be placed in iconic productions such as High Fidelity and Made In Chelsea.
