Founded in 1977 by Martin Mills and Nick Austin, Beggars Banquet is a renowned UK indie label that has made its mark on the music industry. It all began with the release of two 7" singles by punk band The Lurkers. Since then, Beggars Banquet has evolved to encompass a diverse range of genres including punk, goth, synth-pop, folk-rock, and indie. With an impressive portfolio of spin-off labels such as 4AD, Situation Two, City Beat, and XL Recordings under its belt, Beggars Banquet has become part of the esteemed Beggars Group – one of the largest networks of indie record labels worldwide.

In April 2008, Beggars Group made the decision to retire the iconic Beggars Banquet imprint. However, key artists were seamlessly transitioned to another notable label within their roster – 4AD. This strategic move ensured that these talented musicians continued to receive the support and recognition they deserved.

Beyond their musical endeavors, it's worth noting that Beggars Banquet operates with utmost professionalism. Their business registration number is 1414047 and VAT number is 340 1066 10. These details further exemplify their commitment to transparency and excellence in all aspects of their operations.

Bob Mould is an American guitarist, producer, and singer-songwriter. Born on October 16, 1960 in Malone, New York, he has made significant contributions to the music industry. Apart from his own successful musical projects, Mould also co-founded Singles Only Label.
With a career spanning several decades, Bob Mould has established himself as a prominent figure in the music scene. His talent and passion for creating powerful and heartfelt songs have earned him a dedicated fan base worldwide.
Known for his distinctive guitar playing style and emotive vocals, Mould's music resonates with listeners of various genres. Whether it's his solo work or collaborations with other artists, each song showcases his unique artistry and ability to connect with audiences on a deep level.

having left a permanent mark with both his bands, husker d and sugar, and with a half-dozen, uncompromising solo albums released during and after these bands lived, bob has long been regarded as a name at the forefront of american music. not one for sentiment, bob prefers to ignore his legacy and 'cult status', going straight to what he does best - namely that of making hair-raisingly emotional, undeniably catchy, loud, mature, guitar rock. 'district line' - his first for beggars banquet - instantly sounds both familiar and classic. inspired by bob's adopted home of washington d.c., he regards his last five years living there as having been 'a very positive experience' and that this album is his 'way of putting it down in a book'. providing a backbone to the record is brendan canty (fugazi), a perfect foil to mould's determined guitar riffs, insistent basslines and passionate, vulnerable singing, while the beautifully bittersweet cello comes courtesy of amy domingues. they make a huge sound for a small team and fans will delight in this, a new 'loud bob' record. recorded in a warehouse space with a mobile studio, 'district line' is a dozen flavours of mould's inspired, instantly memorable, melodic songwriting and playing. the inimitable blasting, bursting, guitar-smacked choruses of 'stupid now', 'who needs to dream?', 'return to dust', 'the silence between us' and 'very temporary' sit comfortably with the folk-tinged 'again and again' and 'walls of time', the more fanciful 'miniature parade', and the electronic-laced postpunk dance stomp, 'shelter me'. if you haven't heard bob before, then this could be just the introduction.
