Pompous Records Inc. is a Canadian Record/Entertainment company, formed in 2013, which provides positive, audio and visual entertainment to a diverse, international audience. Pompous Records is committed to providing the highest quality, intelligent and memorable music. We firmly believe that the current market is lacking in this style of entertainment and that we will provide it without compromising commercial appeal.
Pompous Records was formed by Eddie Carrigan and Rob Richards. Eddie and Rob, both seasoned musicians, have worked together over the past ten years on various live and recording projects. It has been through these various interactions that Eddie and Rob have formed a good friendship, so perhaps it was in the cards that they would one day reach the stage of becoming business partners, and Pompous Records is the perfect vehicle for them.
They have recently finished recording and producing Proper Snobs 14 song debut album "Thoughts". They believe this will be the first in a long line of albums targeting a more selective audience, who have grown tired and disillusioned with the decaying music industry's lame attempt at releasing anything of substance, particularly to a more mature audience. In general Pompous Records' target base is the forty plus market, those music lovers who require more than just bland to revitalize their musical needs, although the music will transcend music lovers of all generations.
Tribute acts, farewell tours and "Best of" albums are fine for catering to the nostalgic wants of the public, but what about the real deal, the original concept of creating music of a world class standard. What about a fresh perspective that reaches out to a largely forgotten section of the public that truly deserves better than same old, same old...this will be Pompous Records goal. Pompous Records intention is to build their artist's own following of loyal fans, and in return they promise to hold themselves to their own high standards of songwriting by releasing albums, that truly are value for money, a concept that is long past due a rebirth.
Great music speaks for itself, it doesn't need a consistent hype machine to keep it afloat, just an audience of loyal fans will work wonders through word of mouth. Pompous Records believes in the power of being genuine and operates based on the above principles.
We have long since grown tired of the pigeon holed, corporate controlled platform of limitations that the music industry has now become. Pompous Records will provide a home for artists that are naturally more eclectic and theatrical in their sound. The music of these diverse artists will retain their own identity and aim to convert like minded listeners into fans.
Onward and Upward !
