Factory Benelux is the Belgian counterpart of Factory Records, established in Brussels in 1980 by journalists Michel Duval and Annik Honoré. The label operated under the umbrella of Les Disques Du Crépuscule until 1988. It initially released singles by A Certain Ratio, Durutti Column, and Section 25, which were spare recordings donated by Factory Records. Over the next few years, Factory Benelux exclusively released music from New Order, Crispy Ambulance, The Names, Minny Pops, Cabaret Voltaire, Crawling Chaos, Stockholm Monsters, and The Wake. In addition to pioneering dance singles by Quando Quango and 52nd Street.

Between 1983 and 1986, Factory Benelux mainly focused on European editions of regular Factory releases. This period also saw production work by members of New Order under the name Be Music for artists like Life, Nyam Nyam, Surprize,and Lavolta Lakota. Notably during this time were two complete albums by The Durutti Column: Short Stories for Pauline and Circuses and Bread.

The label stopped releasing new material in 1988 but retained its name for early CD reissues through Crépuscule in the early '90s. In 2012,FBN was revived with James Nice at the helm who previously worked at Crépuscule during the late '80s.The revived F

Scottish indie pop band, initially active between 1981 and 1995. Often compared to New Order at first (they shared the same label, Factory, and toured with them), the band later signed to Sarah Records. After reforming in 2009 the group released a new album.

First new the View album in 8 years.&nbsp;When The View reconvened last year after five years apart, the three old-friends realised just how much they have missed... well, everything about being in a band: the rush of seeing an audience react to their performances, the camaraderie of being together, a simple jam idea evolving into a fully-fledged song. A run of comeback gigs at Glasgow’s O2 Academy saw all 10,000 tickets sold in advance, the fan reaction was overwhelming and they were even joined on-stage by an old friend in the shape of ‘Line of Duty’ actor Martin Compston.After all that, how could you resist wanting more? Especially as their rehearsals for the&nbsp;shows saw the band conjure up a wealth of new song ideas just like they did back when&nbsp;they first started out. And so comes Exorcism of Youth - their first&nbsp;album since 2015 - released via Cooking VinylFrontman Kyle Falconer says, “Working with Youth on our third album 'Bread and Circuses'&nbsp;was one of the best experiences of my career so we jumped at the chance to revisit the&nbsp;opportunity with him in Spain. To be able to go into the studio again as a band with added&nbsp;experience was just magical."Kyle and bandmates Kieran Webster (bass/vocals) and Pete Reilly (guitar) departed their&nbsp;homes in Scotland to record the record in the inspiring surroundings of Granada, Spain, with&nbsp;the assistance of a top tier producer in the shape of the Grammy Award winner Youth (The&nbsp;Verve, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Charlatans). They returned with Exorcism of Youth in the&nbsp;bag, a record which combines the raucous energy of The View’s early work with some&nbsp;poignant slowburners drawn from personal experience, and Kyle’s gift for lyricism which is&nbsp;equal parts observational, witty and insightful.
