MISGUIDED RECORDS
Run by Craig Hayworth, originally for releasing records by his band The Declined, Misguided now also has Neil Braidwood (of Spitroast / Lost Cause) & Sharon McGregor on board, and runs local gigs at Jacks Bar and Firkins. The label believes fully in running gigs in the good community fashion instead of the now so common exploitation that other promoters do (pay to play, sell tickets etc, do not apply with these DIY guys, "just come along and enjoy your night" is the attitude). Misguided Records is also the official label of artists Spitroast, The Declined, Distorted Mind, Lost Cause, Buzzbomb, Days Forward, Try Hards & State Of Affairs. It also hosts one of the fastest growing online communities for punk and metal gigs at http://www.mrforums.cjb.net.
The label began to take more shape at the start of the summer 2005 with an idea to release a series of Split 7" Records, with each band paying an equal amount towards the pressing and getting an equal amount of records to sell. The first being Misguided Split Series Vol.1 - A 4 track EP Featuring The Declined + State Of Affairs planned for September 2005. Spitroast and The Try Hards are also to release their respective self funded album and EP within the year. The bands record and press their own CD / record and put it out themselves under the Misguided banner after getting a catalogue number. The idea is that anyone can be a part of it. Misguided Split Series Vol.2, featuring Buzzbomb, Spitroast, The Try Hards and an as yet un-named fourth band is planned for the beginning of 2006.
In addition to the releases side of Misguided Records, to fill a much needed gap in the Falkirk live music scene two nights were created: Smashed (a weekly Thursday night pub gig at Firkins Bar ran by Craig Hayworth) & Re-Instated (a fortnightly Friday night small club gig ran by Sharon McGregor and Neil Braidwood). Smashed has now stopped after Firkins decided they did not want live music anymore, and Braidwood will no longer be running the live shows at Re-Instated due to work commitments but is continuing with the MR Forum Online Community. Hayworth is now running Re-Instated alongside McGregor.
A fanzine type publication is planned for the near future.
