music for independent minds

About Me

So many brilliant CD's are produced throughout the country and the rest of the world. And it's the unknown bands that often come up with the most original records. But where can you get to hear them? Or buy them? From this thought guitarist Markus ilmari and Yvonne van Sark founded Toonbank Records in 2004. Our webstore is the right place to look around for acoustic Pop, relaxed Jazz, world music and a subtle mix of styles.All CDs are carefully selected. Most of our CDs come directly from the musicians. The bands receive at least two third of the catalogue price. And yes, we are always looking for good music! So spread the word.
