Fontaines D.C. drummer Tom Coll has teamed up with fellow musicians to launch a new independent record label and online store dedicated exclusively to Irish music.<\/p>\n

The new venture, Inis Records, has been founded by Coll alongside Michael Roe of Irish math-rock band Adebisi Shank and Ken Allen of Faction Records.<\/p>\n

The label<\/a> aims to champion Irish artists by releasing new music, landmark reissues and less known records, while helping to strengthen Ireland\u2019s independent music scene.<\/p>\n

An accompanying online store has also gone live, selling music exclusively from Irish artists across a range of genres and eras.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the project, Tom Coll said Inis Records was created to provide Irish musicians with stronger independent support at home.<\/p>\n

\u2018Inis Records is about providing an independent label infrastructure in Ireland, giving Irish music a platform to grow and create unique physical music for Irish artists,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018We want to create truly special vinyl runs, reissue some older gems and support the next wave of Irish music.\u2019<\/p>\n

As well as releasing its own records, Inis Records plans to offer distribution and back-end services to selected independent labels, with the aim of making it easier for emerging artists to get their music into physical formats.<\/p>\n

The label launches with pre-orders for a reissue of Against Nature by Fatima Mansions.<\/p>\n

Future releases will include a traditional Irish music compilation curated by Coll, a showband compilation put together by Charles Hendy of The Mary Wallopers, as well as further reissues of influential Irish albums.<\/p>\n

The online store is already stocking music from a range of Irish artists including Fontaines D.C.<\/a>, CMAT, Lankum and Kneecap.<\/p>\n

The launch marks the latest venture for the Grammy-nominated Dublin band, whose international success has helped shine a spotlight on Irish music around the world.<\/p>\n
