Label GB

Fortuna Pop

Fortuna Pop was an English pop label that was founded in 1995. Known for its dedication to promoting independent and alternative music, the label quickly gained a reputation for releasing high-quality albums from talented artists. However, on 31 July 2016, Fortuna Pop sadly announced that it would be shutting down. Despite its closure, the label's legacy lives on through the incredible music it released during its time.

The Spook School return with their brand new album, 'Try To Be Hopeful'. Fun and empowering, 'Try To Be Hopeful' is brim full of noisy, tuneful and triumphant queer pop songs about identity, sexuality and being awesome. Since forming in 2012 they've become increasingly involved with the DIY queer punk scene, taking inspiration from the passionate, like-minded people they've met along the way, and from bands such as Martha, Joanna Gruesome, Trust Fund and Tuff Love. Citing influences including Buzzcocks, T-Rex and the noisier end of C86, the new album is louder, bolder, fuller-sounding and captures more of their live sound - aided and abetted by producer MJ of Hookworms.CD - Gatefold.LP - Heavy Black and White Coloured LP in a Gatefold Sleeve with Download.
