Label GB

The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers

The Lemon Twigs are a Glam Rock band from Long Island, New York. The band is comprised of brothers Brian D’Addario and Michael D’Addario, who are both vocalists, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists. They are joined live by Daryl Johns on bass, Tommaso Taddonio on keyboards, and Andres Valbuena on drums.
With their unique blend of glam rock influences and catchy melodies, The Lemon Twigs have gained a dedicated following in the music industry. Their energetic live performances showcase their musical talents and captivating stage presence.
Known for their distinctive retro sound and theatrical style, The Lemon Twigs have been praised for their ability to transport listeners back to the golden age of rock 'n' roll. Their music is a fusion of classic rock elements with modern sensibilities, creating a fresh and exciting sound that appeals to fans of all ages.

The D’Addario brothers return with their third Lemon Twigs album, Songs For The General Public - written, recorded and produced by the D’Addarios at their home studio in Long Island, Sonora Studios in Los Angeles and Electric Lady in New York City.

The prodigiously-talented brothers first emerged as The Lemon Twigs in 2016 with their debut LP Do Hollywood, whose showstopping melodies mined from every era of rock quickly earned fans in Elton John, Questlove, and Jack Antonoff. Go To School, the ambitious 15-track coming-of-age opus, followed in 2018 and solidified the band’s reputation for building grand walls of sound around an audacious concept.
