Detroit Social Club and Fuck Pop Records
On the 12 of November, 2010, Detroit Social Club announced that they were creating their own label, Fuck Pop records. The reason for doing so was that:
"When people invest in you, as a record label does, the consequence is that the artist’s exclusive interest in the music suddenly becomes a mutual one; shared between dozens of different people, all of whom have a different opinion on it. The music becomes a product that must be saleable. It must justify the investment...for us, being in a band isn’t about chasing fame or fortune. It’s about the music...we wanted to emancipate ourselves to be able to do this in our own way. Doing it our self, without the mutual interest or investment of others, means there are no risks to us just doing what we want."
They also stated in this announcement that they would get the money for releases from merchandise and gigs.
Since Detroit Social Club split, David Burn now works as a top UK producer and owns Newcastle Music Box Recording Studios, Johnny Bond and Dale Knight formed Symphonic Pictures and Greenie is now an International session drummer for Little Comets, Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, Katie Waissel, and is in-house drummer for Sonic Vista Studios in Ibiza currently creating a software drum sample package with owner and top producer Henry Sarmiento among other projects.

“The children [on TV] are too well behaved and are reasonable beyond their years. All the children pop in with exceptional insights.

“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
