A Brand new DIY cassette/tape label supporting local artists
Alternative Dorsette is a DIY tape label, set up in September 2023 by two friends who live in Swanage and are committed to documenting the alternative local music scene in Dorset, past and present. Their cassette tapes will be produced in limited runs of 25 copies with each release coming with a PDF fanzine. A retro quirky way to introduce some of the great local music to a wider audience.
Alternative Dorsette’s first two releases are by two local punk acts Self Abuse and Virus. The Self Abuse recording is “Live At Square Records” recorded on 14th September 2019 during a special intimate gig. The Cassette feature 13 tracks and will also include an exclusive 38 page PDF fanzine which boasts a history of the band from 1982 – 2024, a contemporary gig review plus numerous photos from this gig, as well as a digital download of the release. It is currently available with blue or red covers.
