Vic Ruggiero's CD album "Something In My Blindspot" is also available in the UK (Householdname Records), Japan (Ska In The World Records), USA (Cobraside Distribution).
...our philosophy...
A lot of people got Reggae and Punk music in their record shelves. Some even add more styles, like 60ies Soul and Electronic music. We belong to these people! And, when we look around at a concert, we notice there must be more with a musical taste like ours.
Is it just coincidence that the music industry often fails these days to sell the expected millions of copies of their top sellers? We don't believe that this ist just because of "piracy" and filesharing. It's time to draw the logical conclusion. Music with no "commercial potential" as defined by the majors might still have the potential to satisfy the need for authenticity and artistic quality.
