In 2009 a bunch of local musicians got together to record a soundtrack to a short documentary called 'green glass blues'. The documentary maker lost his way and the film never saw the light of day but 20 copies of the soundtrack were released on 7" vinyl. To save money, the sleeves were cut from scrap cardboard and printed using carved lino blocks. The album proved a worthy catalyst and by March 2010 Stobie Sounds was born with a pledge to produce small runs of roots records with artists and bands from Adelaide and beyond.

 

Since those humble beginnings Stobie Sounds has stayed  true to its DIY origins with all of its projects revolving around a small print-making studio where archaic methods such as letterpress, woodcut and silk screen are utilised to craft album sleeves, t-shirts, posters and other bits and pieces. 

 

Hamfisted! Is a celebration of the broadsides and ephemera created in the Stobie studio  between 2010-2013.
