History


The label first signed the artists Million Dead and Reuben in 2003[1][2] and subsequently released Frank Turner's solo albums after the split of Million Dead in 2005.[3][4] While signed with Xtra Mile Frank Turner has gone on to perform at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics [5] and sell out Wembley Arena.[6]


On 8 August 2011 Xtra Mile were badly affected by the 2011 England riots, when the Sony Music warehouse that stored their records was set on fire.[7]


Since the labels inception it has continued to support and break new artists and bands.[8] Xtra Mile has released numerous charting albums from acts including Skinny Lister[9] and Will Varley[10]. In recent years the label has announced distribution deals outside the UK in countries such as the US[11] & Canada.[12]


On 4 July 2017 Xtra Mile were featured on BBC Radio 1's Independents' Day Takeover hosted by Huw Stevens.[13]
