YEAR OF THE SUN RECORDS {DRUDGERY EP OUT NOW!}

Whatever It Takes. No Exceptions.

About Me

Year of the Sun Records was founded in 2002 in an effort to redefine what independent music is and where it can go. This is about the dawn of a new age where fresh positive tendrils can sprout unchallenged from the confining shell of negativity. This effort is about change. This is about defiance. This is about forging together elements that others have defined as incompatible. In the current world of burning, ripping, downloading, swapping, complaining, and marketing it seems that somewhere along the way a lot of people forgot that listening was the most important aspect of all. This is about music and those who have been affected by it.
