Do it better, do it yourself!
Bloody Sound Fucktory is an independent label, attracted by instinct and affinity from the rock subculture and its borderline aspects, from what reworks the standards and eludes definitions. By its very nature is indifferent to the genres: it simply crosses them. It does not pay attention to the hypes, to the ideologies, to the high or the low degree of accessibility of a musical project, as well as to his experimental depth. It simply loves what strikes its attitude. Bloody Sound Fucktory releases and promotes those records that had always wanted to find on the shelves of its local record shop. It does not offer contracts to sign, it makes arrangements. It is not the viaticum for glory. It does not make promises that cannot keep. It does not offer work to anyone. It does not enrich anyone. Economically self-sustaining, as a promoter it organizes concerts, exhibitions, festivals and dj sets, leaning to the realities and structures on its territory (local, clubs, community centers) and involving from time to time, in addition to its bands, the most interesting names of the the national and international underground scene. It is not a booking agency. It is not grounded to large retailers and disseminates its works through the practices of co-production and exchange, as well as direct sales through distros, banquets, web.
The Fucktory takes its first steps in 2004 as a fanzine, with a strong D.I.Y. spirit. Its initial intention is to create favorable conditions for the growth of a real scene in its territory (the province of Ancona), by joining to bands such as Sedia, Edible Woman, Vel and Guinea Pig, which were the precursors. From 2005 it devoted itself to events organization, pushing along with other realities that wave that will make the Marche region one of the most vital poles of the national underground scene in the last decade. In 2007 the scene is now very much alive and in turmoil, full of aggressive bands aiming to get over the local boundaries: to increase its support Bloody Sound therefore changes from a fanzine into a record label, releasing in the following two years names that capture the attention of the national independent circuit (Lush Rimbaud, Dadamatto, Butcher Mind Collapse, Lleroy, Lebowski, Jesus Franco & the Drogas, Bhava, Gerda), often in co-production with similar realities such as Wallace, fromScratch, Brigadisco and other Italian independent labels. Achieved the initial goal of giving visibility to the underground of its territory, from 2009 Bloody Sound gradually turns its attention to the national scene, keeping the same passion and attitude as always, now corroborated by the experience, the knowledge and the human relations accumulated over the years, still helping the bands and the artists which from time to time falls in love with.

2005
- A season full of live gigs begins: a bunch of wild nights at Blaster Pub in Monsano, at Officina Sociale Rebelde in Jesi, at Forte Altavilla in Ancona and at Mezza Canaja in Senigallia, but above all takes place a strong bond with C.S.O.A. TNT in Jesi, which is home to most of the events organized by Bloody Sound where the best of the national underground scene will perform
- Marco Giaccani alias Max Dembo, bass player of Lush Rimbaud from Ancona, begins working with the collective for the events organization
- among the gigs, the Bloody Sound System dj sets go on, and they become a must in the Ancona province

- May 6th, during a gig with Neo, Nervous Kid and Lush Rimbaud at TNT, a special number of Bloody Sound Fanzine containing a summary of the first 2 years' activities is freely distributed
- Bloody Sound Fanzine evolves into Bloody Sound Fucktory, a creative laboratory of graphic design, communication, events and gigs. The idea of creating a record label begins to take shape
2007
- Marco Giaccani leaves the collective to devote himself to Lush Rimbaud, to the new band Jesus Franco & The Drogas and to Caps & Tuna (events organization)
- The record label of the collective Bloody Sound Fucktory finally starts up and publishes the first three releases: "The Scum Album" by Edible Woman, "Ti tolgo la vita" by Dadamatto and "Action from the basement" of Lush Rimbaud, the latter two official debuts of the respective bands
- With the birth of the label the Bloody Sound System closes its doors, after three years of wild dances, clandestine love affairs, broken kneecaps and neurons sacrificed for the cause
- Bloody Sound Fucktory moves from Jesi to Ancona: Jonathan Iencinella starts to manage the Thermos Club, the historical live club of the city, where most of the Bloody Sound gigs will be organized. Even Alessandro Gentili, returning from a year spent in Spain, moves to Ancona
2008
- Due to the full time commitment, the Bloody Sound live shows are just limited to the program of the Thermos Club : among the others The Weakends, Red Worms Farm, R.U.N.I., Camillas, Captain Quentin, Postal M@rket, as well as big international names such as Old Time Relijun, Trans AM and Shit & Shine will perform there. But there is also room for the two days summer festival Bloody Sound Matanza, with the best of the underground local scene: Dadamatto, NewLaserMen, Guinea Pig, Gerda, Lleroy, Beasts, Above the Tree, Jesus Franco & The Drogas, Lush Rimbaud, Bhava and and Mr. Whore

To embellish most of the releases the graphic work of Andrea Refi, a very trademark of Bloody Sound Style
2009
- Another round of renowned releases for Bloody Sound Fucktory: the debut of Bhava, the second album by Lush Rimbaud (the first Bloody Sound vinyl ever), the acclaimed "Kimidanzeigen" by Plasma Expander and the self-titled third album by Gerda

The Trimurti Iencinella-Refi-Gentili come back in consolle and the spirit of the historic evenings at TNT and Mezza Canaja lives again

- On the discographic side there are the releases of the vinyl split between Jesus Franco & the Drogas and Satantango, a tape with a live set of Above the Tree and the launch of the Ectoplasmi series, dedicated to the most obscure projects of the local underground, with the first three releases: Guinea Pig, Whore and Mr. Welles
- www.bloodysoundfucktory.com, the official site of Bloody Sound Fucktory, is launched on the web in June

But two locations stand out: the newborn Reasonanz in Jesi, which over time will become like a second home for Bloody Sound, and the exhibition gallery Moustache of Simone Alessandrini, always in Jesi, where the festival Noon on the pillow is held: atypical sundays with one man bands' gigs, low-volumes, intimate ambience and pillows on the floor. The main names: Buzz Aldrin, Mr. Occhio, Zeus!, Bachi da Pietra, Lili Refrain

One Man 100% Bluez, the album by Gallina for the Ectoplasmi series and cherry on top the second album by Iencinella's Butcher Mind Collapse, which receives excellent feedbacks from critics, audience and sales

- In October a new serious loss for Bloody Sound Fucktory: the other founder Jonathan Iencinella leaves, abandoning the collective for personal reasons and to focus himself on the Butcher Mind Collapse project. Gentili and Luconi decide once again to go ahead and to help them, after two years off, Refi comes back

- Gentili, Luconi and Refi involve in the project Enrico Braconi, which supports them in the organization of live events
2013
- The new year begins with live gigs at TNT and Reasonanz: on the stage Fuzz Orchestra, Mattia Coletti, Cut, Paperoga, Ludmilla Spleen and Lleroy
- Nonstop record releases go on: "Morire per la Patria" by Fuzz Orchestra is reissued on vinyl, followed by the publication of The Great Saunites LP "The Ivy" and the return of fellow citizens Lleroy with "Soma", published both in CD and LP. The opinion of the critics is unanimously positive

2014

First, the new Above the Tree's project with the Drum Ensemble du Beat: "Cave_man", released both in CD and LP and acclaimed by critics; then the new album of Quasiviri "Super human", the returns of Tucano and Lucifer Big Band, the studio live and the remixes' album of Plasma Expander, the Vel collection, the official first A.N.O. release, the comebacks of Jesus Franco & The Drogas, Mattia Coletti and Natural Dub Cluster, the 7" split with Cyborgs and The Blues Against Youth. Definitely, the Bloody Sound annus maximus
