The Samuel Jackson Five

Goodbye, Melody Mountain

About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
Hello
We are four young men.
Who play music.
It has until now been instrumental, but that might change in the near future.
Or it might just stay that way.
In the 4+ years we have existed we have released two albums; "Same, Same But Different" being the first, and "Easily Misunderstood" being the latest.
After spending a long time writing tunes, throwing them all in the garbage, and then starting the writing process all over there is a light in the tunnel. Hopefully we will be able to cram those rays of musical hope and light onto a little silverdisc and send them flying all over the world in autumn 2008.
And then we might go on a little tour again

P*Dis distributes our record in Japan, Differential Records in the US, Dotshop.se in Scandinavia, and for those who prefer it digital, EMusic and iTunes is also an option.
Since music is meaningless unless it's heard, suggestions and tips about labels who might distribute us is most welcome.
