Invada Records was formed in 2002 by Geoff Barrow, Ashley Anderson, and Redg Weeks. Geoff and Ashley have been collaborating since 1998 and decided to establish the label together. In 2003, Geoff started Invada Records UK, focusing on developing a roster of artists from the UK that would also be released in Australia. As the label continues to grow, Invada is expanding its distribution network worldwide.

Billy Nomates is a talented artist who grew up in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, UK. With a background in various bands and projects, Billy's musical journey truly began when she moved to the south coast in 2018. In September 2019, she made her debut as Billy Nomates and quickly gained support from influential figures such as Sleaford Mods and Geoff Barrow. Known for her DiY and Lo-fi approach, Billy records at home using Garage Band and Acid software, often self-releasing tracks via Bandcamp. Despite the challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic, Billy persevered and completed her reworked debut album at INVADA.

Billy Nomates, the fierce, funny, outspoken force of nature who hails from Melton Mowbray and now flits between Bournemouth and Bristol, has arrived to rattle cages. The songs on her debut album all come from a place of defiance. Rebellion against Brexit. Against soul-sapping, dead-end jobs and zero-hours contracts. Against gender inequality, sexual harassment and festivals with obligatory female acts hidden in the small print. Billy’s songs lampoon the same bleak reality satirised by her beloved Scarfolk website and explored so abrasively in the fringe theatre she finds solace in. Musically, there are snatches of Nick Cave’s rumbling sprechgesang; the “off-the-wall-ness of musicians like Captain Beefheart”; Sleaford Mods’ febrile post-punk; the groovesome lofi art-rock of Sonic Youth; and the brassy Americana of Emmylou Harris. What dominates, though, is a feeling of release. Of letting it all out. The track Supermarket Sweep features guest vocals by Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods.
