the revolution is nub!
Nub Country Records was formed in Jan 2007 by ‘Wilful Maverick’ Mark Christopher Lee (Award Winning Composer and founder member of John Peel faves, cult indie band The Pocket Gods). Distributed via The Orchard, Mark used Nub Country Records as a vehicle for his band The Pocket Gods and his friends bands to release their music – little did he know it would grow into the monster that it has now become!
With a huge array of music industry contacts, Nub artists have regularly enjoyed BBC radio support from the likes of Huw Stevens, Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and Bob Harris amongst others as well as substantial global airplay.
Due to confusion over the ‘country’ element of ‘Nub Country Records’, the Label re-branded in 2015 splitting into ‘Nub Music’ for all non Country genres and retaining the Nub Country Records moniker for their country artists which include some previously unreleased Billie Jo Spears tracks.

The last year has brought Nub Music into the forefront of the music industry’s collective conciousness with the groundbreaking series of “100x30” albums by The Pocket Gods and Friends (which include Owen Paul, Tom Green, & Mungo Jerry) winning a Guinness World Record for most amount of tracks on a digital release. Spotify, and other similar global streaming set ups pay out a paltry royalty once a song hits thirty seconds and then NO more – so why write longer songs? Why not adapt your song writing craft to the YouTube channel/media switching generation? The "100x30" albums have gained huge media attention, featuring in the Wall St Journal, The Independent, Forbes Magazine, The Evening Standard, ITV and even Billboard the US music magazine who heralded it to be "Hauling digital music and the modern world over the coals.”
Nub also stage regular Label nights featuring a wide variety of Nub artists and run a brilliant PR service with 10,000 carefully grown Industry contacts.
