Early Music Releases
The very first release from Trash Aesthetics was called TA701. It was a 7-inch clear vinyl record. The band was Bloc Party, and the song was "She's Hearing Voices." Only 480 copies were made. This song was very popular with music critics. A famous DJ from BBC Radio 1, Steve Lamacq, even called it "genius."
Later that same year, another limited single came out. This one was by The Rakes and was called 22 Grand Job. It also received a lot of praise from music magazines.
More Great Singles
In 2005, Trash Aesthetics released more limited 7-inch records. One was by Tilly and the Wall. They were an indie band from Omaha, Nebraska, known for tap dancing! Another was by The Tailors, a band from Brixton, London.
That year, the label also released a 10-inch EP. An EP is like a mini-album. This one was by Bedtime for Toys, a three-piece band from Los Angeles. They later worked with other well-known artists.

In 2007, Trash Aesthetics released The Tailors' first album, Wakey Wakey. It was very successful. They also put out a very limited 7-inch single. This single featured Projections, a side project from the band Blood Red Shoes, and Luke Abbott.
