Fierce Panda Records

General information

The label known as fierce panda records was born in a pub in the West End of London Town at the start of 1994. Somewhat predictably the pub (The Blue Posts) no longer exists and the site of it is now occupied by a Boots chemist on the corner of Hanway Street and Tottenham Court Road. Rather mystifyingly the label is still going more than a decade later - not bad when one considers the company was set up purely to release the 'Shagging In The Streets' EP and then call it quits. After all, if you intend to release over 200 records you don't call yourself something as bobbins as fierce panda, do you? Still, accidents will happen and so, a multitude of bizarre decisions and unwise career moves later, the panda continues to amble onwards and sideways accompanied by fellow travellers as stout and hearty as Art Brut, Shitdisco, The Walkmen, The Raveonettes and more recently Goldheart Assembly,Hatcham Social and The Crookes.
