The Major Labels

About Me

"TML"
Three cult pop heroes have come together to make the record that they always wanted to hear. Mike Viola, of Boston's pop cult band The Candy Butchers, Bleu most widely known for his 2003 critically acclaimed Columbia Records release "Redhead," plus Boston's cult producer Ducky Carlisle. The three have formed a powerpop trio that brings to life an authentic mix of 60's/70's am radio. McCartney, Nilsson, XTC, 10CC, to be sure, but The Major Labels don't sound like parody, they sound like piers.
