FULL-STACK DIY MUSIC COLLECTIVE
The robot needs home collective was begun in 2004 by members of the band maybeshewill
Originally intended as a vehicle to release their first EP, the collective has grown in scope over the intervening 20 years to become more than just a label, and now encompasses live shows, merchandise, touring services and a whole lot more.
We aim to work with artists in whatever way best suits their needs - providing support, knowledge and the infrastructure to help them work towards their goals in as self-sufficient a way possible.
It is important to us that the artists we work with are at the centre of everything we do. We work in service of their needs and vision first and foremost.
