One Little Independent Records

One Little Independent Records, or OLI Records, is an independent music label that was founded in 1986 by members of anarchist punk band Crass. Inspired by the DIY principles and anarchistic ideals of independent labels, OLI has always believed in giving complete control to artists who deserve a shot at a wider audience. On June 10th, 2020, OLI underwent a rename and rebranding after its founder announced an apology for the label's historic name and logo, recognizing their contribution to racism.

Since its inception, OLI Records has been dedicated to providing a platform for talented artists from various genres. The label believes in supporting musicians who create unique and innovative music that deserves recognition. With a commitment to artistic freedom and expression, OLI continues to nurture emerging talent while also collaborating with established acts.

As one of the leading independent labels in the industry, OLI Records strives to promote diversity and inclusivity within the music community. By embracing change and acknowledging past mistakes, they are committed to creating an environment where all artists can thrive without fear of discrimination or prejudice. With their extensive catalog of groundbreaking releases and forward-thinking approach, OLI remains at the forefront of shaping the future of independent music.

Skunk Anansie is a British rock band that was formed in 1994 and gained popularity throughout the 90s. After breaking up in 2001, they reunited in 2009 and have been making music ever since. The band's name is derived from the combination of a skunk and a spider from West African folk stories. Led by vocalist Deborah Anne Dyer, also known as Skin, Skunk Anansie has a unique sound that combines elements of alternative rock and punk. With their powerful lyrics and energetic performances, they have become an influential force in the music industry.
The current line-up of Skunk Anansie includes Richard 'Cass' Lewis on bass, Martin "Ace" Kent on guitar, Mark Richardson on drums (since 1996), and Robbie France on drums for their album released in 1995.
With their distinctive style and captivating stage presence, Skunk Anansie continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their dynamic live shows and thought-provoking music.

Skunk Anansie's debut album ran contrary to the grain. While everyone around them was celebrating the resolutely white boy, hedonistic, traditional 1960s-based sounds of Britpop, these four Londoners released a multi-racial, politically- charged album that owed as much to the funk visions of Sly and The Family Stone and Living Colour as it did to the metal mightiness of prime Black Sabbath. On songs such as Intellectualise My Blackness and 100 Ways To Be A Good Girl, vocalist Skin directly confronted people's prejudices and threw them straight back in their faces. Elsewhere, tracks like Selling Jesus and I Can Dream showcase her voice pretty much at the height of its power... indeed, this whole album captures the band in top form, with hardly a weak track present. The album was recorded with the band's original drummer, Robbie France, but he was not featured on the cover. The album, featuring a mix of controversial protest songs (mainly about politics and religion), peaked at number 8 in the UK Albums Chart.
