ALAMO
RECORDS
Alamo Music Records was a DIY label. Alamo Music is the first ever fan funded, fan owned record label, created in 2004 as a conduit for Four Day Hombre's music. A number of fans of the band invested the capital necessary to formalise the label, and to finance the recording and marketing of the Four Day Hombre debut album Experiments in Living. They hence became shareholders in Alamo. This 'fan-funded' approach has produced significant publicity for the band in national and regional press. For example, an article concerning the label and its formation was featured on the front page of the BBC website on March 13, 2006, the day of release of Experiments in Living. The name Alamo was chosen in reference to the Battle of the Alamo. A quote from William Barret Travis, commander of the Texan forces at this battle, is printed on the inside of Experiments in Living: "I shall have to fight the enemy on his own terms."It managed one singles. Four Day Hombre were a five-piece rock band from Leeds, UK. In 2008 the band changed their name to Hope and Social. It issued singles in an ALMV-000 numerical series. Distributed By SRD Records.
