Memphis Industries

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. Their commitment to quality music has earned them an esteemed reputation among both fans and critics alike.

With an impressive catalog of releases under their belt, Memphis Industries continues to discover and promote emerging talent from around the world. Their passion for music shines through in every release they put out, making them a go-to destination for music lovers looking for something fresh and exciting.

The Cornshed Sisters release their second album Honey and Tar on Memphis Industries. It was recorded and produced by Peter Brewis at Field Music’s Studio on the banks of the river Wear. The Cornshed Sisters are Jennie Brewis, Cath Stephens, Liz Corney (moonlighting from the Field Music band) and Marie Nixon (erstwhile of 90s upstarts Kenickie); four singer-songwriters based in Tyne and Wear, who weave together pop, folk, ballad and protest music into a unique and distinctive style.

The Cornshed Sisters have been away for a while (their last album, Tell Tales, was released back in 2012), but we can probably let them off as they’ve been using the time well, becoming mothers, bringing millions of pounds of funding into major Sunderland arts projects, recording and touring with Field Music, and somehow making time to write songs and record this album together. Drawing on a palette of solo and harmony vocals and a blend of acoustic and electronic instruments, they convey their stories with sensitivity and humour. Their subject matter is love, motherhood, fake happiness, friendship, family, feminism and the increasing complexities of life as you get older but no wiser. The band are proud to write about their experiences as women and their song writing always has a stark realism to it - as Marie puts it when discussing the track We Have Said This Is Impossible: “True love is buggering off together in a Ford Focus”.
