Le label publie également “What The Hell Are You Doing ?“, une compilation inédite de deux CDs rassemblant les morceaux phares du label au cours de ses dix années d’activité. Une véritable déclaration d’indépendance.

Artwork by David Shrigley.

“What The Hell Are You Doing? It’s something that has probably been asked of anyone starting an independent label over the last ten years”, explains label co-founder Nigel Adams of the compilation’s title.

“Certainly there has never been a less financially rewarding or glamorous time to launch a label as the music industry continues to barrel on into the unknown, but for most of us doing it, running an independent label is still the most rewarding, challenging and enjoyable role we could be in”.

Inspired by classic independents like Elektra, Sub Pop, Creation and Rough Trade, Full Time Hobby began in 2004 with the aim of releasing music it truly loved and that needed its support.

Featuring songs from Tunng, The Hold Steady, Malcolm Middleton, The Leisure Society, White Denim, Erland & The Carnival, Timber Timbre, Smoke Fairies and many more, ‘What The Hell Are You Doing?: A Full Time Hobby Tenth Anniversary Compilation’ is a true declaration of independence.
