Forthesakeofthesong is a brand new record label born and developed in the aftermath of another SXSW experience. There the importance, impact and rapture of music becomes more apparent then ever.Infectious, honest, addictive music makes me feel indestructible. When music that is â€œjust rightâ€ is made, magic happens. Some, but sadly not many, albums are full of that magic from beginning to end. These albums contain no filler to skip. You have listened to these albums countless times and you always know what happens next - when that guitar comes in that makes you shiver and when the vocals hurt so good your heart skips a beat, but still, every time you hear one of these albums you end up surprised and amazed by it.Forthesakeofthesong will solely concentrate on releasing albums like that - stunning, solid records capable of becoming classics.The label is launched with the re-release of My Drug Hells debut album: This Is My Drug Hell, regarded as one of the best debut albums of the nineties. Following early in 2008 will be the release of their captivating brand new album.With eager ears and eyes, not only in the UK, but also in the US, and with connections to Sweden and the strong music scene blossoming there, Forthesakeofthesong will be full of surprises. This is the label to look out for if you want to be guaranteed a quality record every time! Jenny, Forthesakeofthesong MyGen Profile Generator /div
