5/1 - This Is War - JP Violet

2006-05-01T13:24:00.000-07:00

This Is War Records, our sister label, has its first release JP Violet "Paradisio". Be sure to pick up this release and keep on supporting independent music!

4/21 - Aww Crap.

2006-04-21T19:52:00.000-07:00

Nick Inglis' release and the BTL Compilation release will be postponed for a few weeks (Nick's for additional mastering, the Comp for additional content *wink, wink*).
We promise they'll both be well worth the wait.... want a little teaser?
Nick's cd is 12 tracks long... with 12 additional bonus tracks! That's why mastering is taking longer than normal (that and he's a perfectionist).
