TAPE is a boutique recording studio & dedicated mixing suite bang in the centre of Edinburgh. It is home to a lovingly curated collection of modern, vintage and bespoke equipment. TAPE are extremely passionate about the artists they work with, so to coincide with the launch of their brand new 2011 studio they present: TAPE SINGLES CLUB!

TAPE SINGLES CLUB is a showcase for those artists that have come to Tape, stolen THEIR hearts and deserve to be heard. Tape commits them to history as a piece of vinyl and splits it equally between 2 bands 3 times a year. The first of Tape’s exclusive split-singles comes from two wonderful Edinburgh bands, namely Dead Boy Robotics and The Machine Room. The launch date for “Ever/Girly” on limited edition 7” vinyl / Digital Download is the May of 23rd. Four Scottish Tour dates are planned around the launch to promote the single release.

Dead Boy Robotics, a group praised for their dark synth powered music and engaging live show, mixed their acclaimed debut EP ‘Tale of the Winter Kids’ with Tape in early 2010. Dead Boy Robotics soon to be released debut album was recorded, mixed and mastered with the studio team. “Ever” from the album, is released as a split 7” vinyl with Edinburgh band The Machine Room in May as part of Tape Singles Club.

The Machine Room, are new to the Edinburgh music scene but are destined for big things. A recently recorded E.P at Tape caught their attention, which is set for release later this year. They have been dazzling audiences with their lush Polysix tones, dream like guitars and honest falsetto lyrics, they are ethereal, vulnerable and strikingly Pop all at once. Tape certainly has high hopes for this fledgling act. ‘Girly’, the band’s first release is out May 23rd as part of TAPE singles club.
