We're excited to announce Toria Garbutt as being our first new signing of 2016. Toria is an incredible poet and an outstading performer; bursting onto the West Yorkshire scene with A Firm Of Poets over the last couple of years, and winning hearts and minds around the country.
"Toria's words are silk javelins. Frank explorations of self, outpourings of a joyfully pained mind. She means it. Cos she's lived it. I love that girl" Mike Garry - Poet

Toria Garbutt is a spoken word artist from Knottingley - a deprived ex-mining town in West Yorkshire. From as young as 9 she kept a diary, and wrote poetry in parallel.
Her resulting début album 'Hot Plastic Moon' is an incredibly visceral and engaging collection of confessional, observational and character based punk poetry. With a punk heritage, a staccato heartbeat and a unique flair for storytelling, her work is brutally honest yet breathtakingly beautiful.
"These are confessional stories about love, heartbreak and addiction. Getting them off my chest helps me to stay sane. Some of my poetry is hard hitting and dark but there is hope and beauty in there too. On a personal level I suppose it's partly about getting closure." Toria Garbutt
This album is being supported by a crowd funding campaign. As well as the CD releases this will offer a total of 20 perks, including signed and framed prints, screen printed tote bags and commissioned poems.
The album is also being launched in association with A Firm Of Poets; a nationally established spoken word organisation which provided Toria with several platforms and ultimatey paved the way to this release.
