Esurient Communications

Esurient Communications was an independent record label based in London in the 1980s and 1990s.

Esurient Communications was a record label founded by Kevin Pearce, of the 'Hungry Beat' fanzine. The label released records by the Jasmine Minks, The Claim, Liverpool band Hellfire Sermons and ex-Creation Records artists, Emily. The label was also an early touchstone for the Manic Street Preachers and hosted their first London shows supporting both The Claim and Emily in tiny rooms above various pubs in London's West End. Ultimately Pearce's purist vision could not single-handedly turn over both the mainstream music industry and its safe alternative variant and the label folded in 1991. Pearce went on to write 'Something Beginning With O' which examined the place of real emotion in pop music through detailed and impassioned readings of Dexys Midnight Runners, Paul Weller and Subway Sect.

gollark: And you're probably fiddling with definitions somewhat to make that point, depending on what people you mean exactly.
gollark: That is subjective.
gollark: You can't stick two human rights in a particle collider and measure the moral particles produced, or something.
gollark: We just think they're a good idea. There's nothing encoded in the universe which says "yes here you go, this is Good™ and this is Bad™".
