We are thrilled to introduce you to the wonderful Hard Graft. They called themselves ‘purveyors of fine lifestyle accessories’ and what that means is that they design and sell gorgeous leather and felt sleeves for your iPad/iPod/Laptop etc. We’ve been a fan of theirs for a while, and they love our artists and music! Every Hard Graft customer will receive a special curated digital mixtape with their purchase, and Hard Graft will feature our music on their front page for the duration as well. We like to think of their products as cousins to our music. They go nicely together. Make sure you go pay them a visit here.
