Memphis Industries is a British independent record label based in North London. Established in 1998 by the brothers Ollie Jacob and Matt Jacob, it has become a prominent player in the music industry. With their first release being Blue States' Forever EP, Memphis Industries quickly made a name for itself as a platform for talented artists.

Over the years, Memphis Industries has nurtured and supported numerous *artists* who have gone on to achieve great success. The label prides itself on its diverse roster, spanning various genres including indie rock, electronic, and folk.

Menace Beach is a Leeds 'supergroup' led by joint singers Liza Violet and Ryan Needham. They are known for their dynamic sound, which is enhanced by the production skills of Matthew Johnson from Hookworms.

Inspired by a diverse range of musical influences, Menace Beach creates music that is both catchy and experimental. Their unique blend of indie rock and lo-fi pop has garnered them a dedicated fanbase.

If you enjoy the sounds of Our Girl, Dream Wife, or Goat Girl, then Menace Beach should definitely be on your radar. With their infectious energy and captivating live performances, this band is sure to leave an impression on any music lover.

Leeds-based Menace Beach return with their third album Black Rainbow Sound, via Memphis Industries. New album Black Rainbow Sound is the band's first new material since early 2017’s Lemon Memory, and after a self-imposed break from tour duties, the album exhibits a profound shift in their sound, whilst still mainlining the blasts of noise, visceral power, and timeless pop songsmithery of their previous releases. Unlike the bands previous records, Black Rainbow Sound came to life in the bands studio, where Liza Violet and Ryan Needham built dense late-night orchestrations from drum machines, synthesizers, loops and guitar noise, before being ripped apart and reimagined by the full Menace Beach cast at The Nave studio in Leeds with co-producer Matt Peel (Eagulls). Never ones to shy away from an intriguing collaboration, Black Rainbow Sound contains songs featuring Brix Smith of The Fall, and Brix and the Extricated. On Black Rainbow Sound, Menace Beach continue to explore their own unique aesthetic, venturing much further into a colourful world of bizzaro no-wave analogue synths and static drenched electronic euphoria, which they have been circling for some time. Lustrous, dizzying, and bursting with cacophonous vintage electronics - the sounds on Black Rainbow Sound act as an otherworldly backdrop for the album's enigmatic lyrics to play out. Celestial conversations, night terrors, love, anti- love, good vs evil, light vs dark, friendly crows, death, depression, and teenage tongues and are all here to absorb; the more introspective topics often hidden in plain sight atop celebratory choruses, and melodic hooks.
