My Interests



I'd like to meet:

We're always looking for more fans for our bands! We firmly believe that the music on Heart of a Champion is among the best the world has to offer, and we stand by it 100%.
DEMO POLICY: We will listen to all demos (vinyl, tape, CD) that are mailed to us. We don't have a ton of money so we probably won't sign you, but never say never (it worked for Little Dirt!). We will not listen to songs online, off your website or myspace page. Sorry, but we don't sit around listening to music on the computer. It's just not the way it's meant to be heard.

Music:

Arm, Atmosphere, Brother Mark Treehouse and Dylanger Four Plus Four, Chooglin', Die Electric!, The Evening Rig, Mike Gunther and His Restless Souls, The Ghost of Sean Arthur Peterson, The Hawaii Show, The Hidden Chord, Lifter Puller, Little Dirt, Lucky Jeremy, Eleni Mandell, The Parish, Qui, Sean Na Na, Thunder In the Valley
