About BSA:
BLACK STAR AUDIO was created in the summer of 2007 by Ryan Swan. Having been to a few local shows, Ryan had decided that the local metal scene in Ottawa was more of a joke. Allot of talented bands in the area weren’t getting much credit from the so called "Promoter", Supernova. In fact, the only good shows that did come to town were of huge record labels that had the money. and even those shows were lame, without MC’s to know what the fuck was going on. Basically if you didn’t already know the band, then likely you weren’t going to.Point is it was lame, and there was a lot of local talent going to waste under corporate greedmasters supernova, who never really got the bands to go anywhere. Ryan wasn’t the only one of this opinion either. Talking to most people who went to supernova shows, and talking to bands, they were pretty widely disliked.So heres the pitch. Start a NEW label, host smaller shows, giving more back to the bands, open a recording studio, have the best in Ottawa, bring the credit and talent in Ottawa BACK to the bands, and help make some dreams come true.This is Black Star Audios’ Goal to this day.
rule 1 FUCK SUPERNOVA!
lets bring the music and the power BACK to the bands! and breathe some life into this town! By hosting BETTER shows that ALLOW moshing! and by doing things that you just DON’T see in local promoters. Eventually by offering recording services, and out of town shows to local bands, and bring the Ottawa music scene to life!
LONG LIVE METAL
