About Me
Retrospect Records has been around since late 2003. We have over 200 artists signed to the label which is predominantly an 80s Hard Rock / Metal / AOR re-issue label , but we also represent some active artists as well. Retrothrash is a subsidiary of Retrospect. We offer worldwide distribution and the best royalty rates in the world. If you have a demo or full album lying around that you want the world to hear , you are welcome to submit it for consideration....however if you are a punk band , cookie monster band , Emo or Alternative or sound anything like those untalented flannel-wearing lamers Nirvana , then you might as well not bother :+)
Retrospect is THE LARGEST independent re-issue label in the world for Hard Rock and Metal gems. You can check out the website for a full catalog.
As the president of the label , I have a passion for 80s-style Hard Rock and have been collecting cd's for over 15 years. I grew up in England and started playing keyboards at the age of 12.
