Bristol Archive

<p>Bristol Archive Records is a record label that specializes in Bristol post punk, rock and reggae music from 1977 onwards. The label, run by Mike Darby, aims to showcase the diverse Bristol Music scene and preserve its historical significance. They focus on rare, unknown or previously unreleased material, which has been digitally remastered from various formats such as vinyl, tape or cassette. Many of their original vinyl releases were limited to runs of 1000 copies or less. In addition to their music releases, they have also published books on the local scene.</p>

Spanning nearly 25 years from the early '70s to the mid-'90s, <i>The Bristol Rock Explosion</i> celebrates the city's unfairly overlooked rock talent. Its 17 tracks, many of them rare and previously unreleased, also take in early space rockers Magic Muscle, punk rockers-turned-thrash metal titans Onslaught, the mighty goth-rockers Claytown Troupe, Shiva's pioneering prog-metal, the accomplished classic rock of Lautrec and Stampede, classy melodic rockers Bronz, Headmaster's saucy pin-up rock, the '90s sounds of Voodoo and Mirror Mirror, and much, much more. Additionally, the extensive, anecdote-rich sleeve notes tell the frequently eye-opening stories behind this great music, written by Robin Askew
