But they're of their own era (if not their own genre). Maybe someone will wanna know in 20 years how come we're not putting out anything similar to TNV. Let's check back and find out. thx GC i think there’s a fair bit of diversity in the current roster, though diversity in and of itself doesn’t guarantee quality.

I'm not trying to blame Matador for the lack of diversity in the roster (hell, that'd be uber-unfair!), but I represent the demand (Is this significant? You decide) on certain ethos associated with certain genres. Richard Kern is still surprisingly good, but I doubt he's gonna direct the no-wave video for Times New Viking.

We signed the Unsane cuz we liked the songs and liked them, had followed them for ages....and their being a "noise" band never entered the equation. I don't think we'll be signing a band like the Unsane simply because we already worked with the real article. But that's not to say we might not end up working with someone else you or others consider to be kinda noisy. we’re not too hung up on genre, R.H.
