Esurient Communications was an independent
record label based in London in the 1980s
and 1990s.
Esurient Communications was a record label
founded by Kevin
Pearce, of the acclaimed 'Hungry
Beat' fanzine. The label released records by the Jasmine
Minks, The Claim,
Hellfire
Sermons and ex-Creation
Records artists, Emily. The label was
also an early touchstone for the Manic
Street Preachers and hosted their first London shows supporting
both The Claim and Emily in tiny rooms above various pubs in
London's West End. Ultimately Pearce's purist vision could not
single-handedly turn over both the mainstream music industry and
its safe alternative variant and the label folded in 1991.
Pearce went on to write
'Something Beginning With O' which examined the place of real
emotion in pop music through detailed and impassioned readings of
Dexy's
Midnight Runners, Paul
Weller and Subway
Sect.
