Xtra Mile

Xtra Mile is a record label based in London, UK. Founded by Charlie Caplowe in 2003, the label has become known for its diverse roster of talented artists and performers.

With a focus on supporting independent music, Xtra Mile has cultivated a reputation for releasing high-quality albums across various genres including rock, folk, punk, and indie. The label prides itself on providing a platform for emerging artists to showcase their unique sound and connect with fans around the world.

From *Frank Turner* to *Against Me!*, Xtra Mile has worked with some of the most influential acts in the industry. Their commitment to nurturing talent and fostering creativity has earned them recognition as one of the leading independent labels in the UK music scene.

New album from the wonderful (former Hold Steady man) Franz Nicolay which features Against Me!'s Andrew Seward on Bass and Leftover Crack's Ara Babajian on drums and recorded by J. Robbins. Renowned for his unique delivery and absorption of widely-diverse styles, Franz has shared stages and song writing time with The Hold Steady, New York gypsy-punks Guignol, and Against Me!, as well as playing on records by Frank Turner, The Living End, The Dresden Dolls and The Loved One. Taking its title from a rather lucid Ukrainian toast ? "To us the beautiful, and to those who disagree, may their eyes fall out" - the album has far more of the joyous celebration than the dark acid tongue to it. Influences and inspirations for the record, a list that includes: the Waterboys, Leo Strauss, Ivor Cutler, future of the left, a Scottish girl, a pet rat in Southampton, John Cooper Clarke, the Egyptian Book of the Dead and "other things (that) are in there too," says Franz himself.
