	Rough Trade
		Among Rough Trade's singles, 'Fashion Victim,' the controversial 'High School Confidential, and 'All Touch' were popular in 1981, as was 'Crimes of Passion' in 1983.
		The band's performance history included the revue Restless Underwear, co-starring the US transvestite Divine and staged in 1977 at Massey Hall and later in New York, and national tours beginning in 1981.
		Rough Trade, however, finally made little headway in the USA - 'All Touch' was a minor hit there - and disbanded in January 1986 after a farewell tour, 'Deep Six in '86,' comprising concerts in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Rough Trade
		In 1968 they worked as a duo in the coffeefouses of Yorkville creating an aggressive brand of bawdy music that would be the precursor to their next career makeover in 1970 as 'O' (named after the book 'The Story Of O') and as the sexually charged Bullwhip Brothers in 1971.
		However, landing a record deal would not be easy but in 1976, the group caught the attention of Guess Who producer Jack Richardson who experimenting with a new direct-to-disc recording technique and recorded the band 'live' without benefit of a master tape for Umbrella Records (a similar album was later recorded for Toronto band FM).
		Rough Trade split up in 1986 following a 'Best of' which paved the way for Carole Pope's coming out as a solo performer.

		On March 4 at RISD, the band delivered a true rock show—the kind that lodges itself in your chest and throat, shakes your extremities and leaves your ears buzzing for the rest of the night.
		But their label, Rough Trade, opposed the idea, and Rehearsing My Choir was released on its own in October of last year.
		Rough Trade America, having experienced financial difficulties, is now essentially “defunct,” she said—so Bitter Tea will be released on the label Fat Possum instead.

	BBC - collective - rough trade label profile
		Before that, Rough Trade was seen as a kind of cult post-punk label, but when Geoff signed The Smiths it became a lot more mainstream and The Smiths became one of the biggest independent bands ever.
		And that carried on into the mid-80s when Geoff started Rough Trade Distribution which, to cut a long story short, was quite badly managed.
		There are other bands like The Strokes that typify Rough Trade, even though they’re very now, and you can go back to bands like The Fall because they just went in one direction and never really faltered, and that’s how we operate as a label.

	postpunk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The same egalitarian idealism that informed the running of Rough Trade governed the deals with artists: contracts were for one record at a time, profits split 50/50 after recording and promotion costs (fronted by Rough Trade) were made back.
		Rough Trade refused to distribute the first Nurse With Wound album because they felt the S/M imagery on the cover was degrading and sexist; a group called Raped was ordered to change its name or not have its records stocked (the group complied).
		Rough Trade, Better Badges, and the venue Acklam Hall (now Subterrania) were all there: The Raincoats's Gina Birch lived near Westbourne Grove.

	Whiskey Bar: Rough Trade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The United States' trade deficit climbed to a monthly record of $43.1 billion in January as imports continued to flood in from China and U.S. exports were hurt by slumping demand from Europe and other parts of the world.
		One of the things free trade does is to lead to more equitable distribution of the slices among the countries of the world, and among the workers of the world.
		For example, if trade policies were tied to broad impact studies (e.g., "If we build maquiladoras and flood Mexico with subsidized US corn, what will the impact be on US and Mexican agriculture?") we could apply cost-benefit analyses in a way that lessenes the stress placed on the lower-level, last-chance safety nets.

	TrouserPress.com :: Band of Holy Joy
		Formed in London by Newcastle singer/lyricist Johnny Brown, the Band of Holy Joy was something of a theatrical English analogue to Poi Dog Pondering: a large and loose ensemble of varied semi-acoustic instrumentation (fiddle, accordion, harmonium, piano, trombone) that created idiosyncratic music in a number of nostalgic traditions.
		With nods to folk, cabaret, busking and literature, the group's records are emotional and articulate, using tasteful understatement and rustic simplicity to sell songs with unpredictably offbeat lyrical concerns.
		If Brown's voice weren't quite so artless or so overbearing at times, his band might have been a bit more of a joy.

		They were possibly the only band brave enough to take up the gauntlet thrown down in the late Eighties by pioneers like The Young Gods, Loop and My Bloody Valentine.
		A series of gigs in South and East London in front of largely indifferent parochial audiences honed their sound: aching guitar lines that sometimes appeared to teeter on the point of collapse; driving, stuttering drum patterns and Ian's alienated, elegiac, desolate vocal.
		Rescued by Rough Trade, the band released the appropriately titled A Rock To Cling To single to enormous acclaim.

	The Band
		Though Everclear's Northwestern grunge-punk style was hardly revolutionary when the band became popular in 1995, the band's superb songs and Art Alexakis' us-against-them lyrics were taken to heart by bored Gen-X teens.
		The group released one LP on Alexakis' Shindig label, but the album (and an EP) became out of print after distributor Rough Trade folded.
		The band imploded, and Alexakis moved to his girlfriend's hometown of Portland, Oregon.

		Disordered and trenchant, it is a reminder that the band is still capable of electrifying cacophony.

		The Living Legends consists of A- and B-sides from the band's days as a trio on Rough Trade, fourteen tracks that underscore the enormous influence Cabaret Voltaire's music has had on virtually every industrial and/or experimental band of the past decade.

	village voice > news > Rough Trade by Douglas Wolk
		One interpretation is to consider unauthorized file trading as straight-up theft; the other is to treat it as a cheap and easy promotional tool—and the gateway to a new market.
		The movie industry went through the same sort of anxiety attack when VCRs were introduced; likewise, in 1942, the head of the American Federation of Musicians declared that musicians who made phonograph records were "playing for their own funerals." Each time, the entertainment business changed, but it didn't collapse.
		No Kylie, although the search engine suggested both her former boyfriend's band INXS and Paula Abdul as alternatives; no Cybotron, but a bizarre suggestion of Herbie Hancock; and it drew a blank on poor Carly Hennessy.

		They are the classic Rough Trade band; could've sprung up from any time since 1981 and still sound the same.
		It sounds like any number of 'classic' bands who probably never made more than one album and probably never sold much more than that.
		This album did something weird to me. Ah, the rare breed; a band to completely fall in love with despite the singer looking a bit like Bez crossed with Ian Curtis.
