MEET THE STAFF! home
In House is a company that specialises in press promotion in the UK. We like to think that we cover the more interesting ends of the guitar-based and dance music spectrums. We basically just promote music we really like and are pleased to have such a strong roster that includes artists as diverse as The Go! Team, Deerhoof, Panda Bear, Tunng, The Phantom Band, Low, Nathan Fake, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Rodriguez, Dan Deacon and many more.
The business started in October 2000 by David Cooper and began with the rosters of Grand Central (Rae & Christian, Aim, Riton, Fingathing etc.) and Twisted Nerve (Alfie, Badly Drawn Boy, Andy Votel, Dakota Oak etc.). Two burgeoning labels based in Manchester and wanting publicity close to them rather than in London. The regional bias continued and the next full label roster to be taken on was in 2002 with the Deltasonic label based in Liverpool. This included probably our biggest UK acts to date, The Coral and The Zutons.
Nowadays we like to see ourselves as very much an international company dealing with mainly independent artists based all over the world. Check the roster for further details and please sign in to check out much more about In House Press.

Matthew Maxey (Online Press Officer/Radio Plugger) In 1996 Matthew was ignored by Noel Gallagher at Loftus Road despite a)
being right in front of him and b) having copied his haircut. He was 12
years old, but this did not stop him wanting to work with musicians or
spend his days wooing journalists. Matthew has never been on the road
himself, although Prior to joining In House in 2009, he had a job that |

Leah Wilson, Press Officer Having spent her early years travelling with a rally champion father, it
seemed only natural for Leah to split her time between different cities.
Alas, a lot less glamorous than Monaco or Montreal, she divides her time
between Manchester and London, and can mainly be found tucked in a
