Always Check The Label: Big Scary Monsters

Label head and founder of Big Scary Monsters Kevin Douch joins Huw, and we get to know Truthpaste in this week's 'Huw Are You'.

This week on Always Check the Label, Huw shines a spotlight on Big Scary Monsters 鈥� the fiercely independent UK label that has spent 25 years championing boundary-pushing artists from across the alternative music spectrum. From early releases by future stars to a catalogue packed with inventive indie, emo, punk and experimental sounds, Big Scary Monsters has built a reputation for backing music with heart, ambition and individuality. Huw explores the label's story, celebrates some of its key releases, and uncovers the artists helping to shape its exciting future.

We get to know one of Truthpaste in this weeks Huw Are You. We have another quiz from Huw's Music Quiz Generator, giving one of you the opportunity to win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pinbadge.
