Record Union has distributed our first album! But before you start rushing to the website to upload your own music, you should know that this was just a trial run! We needed to test that all the technical stuff is working, which it is! Wohoo!
So who was chosen for this journey into the previously unchartered realm of Record Union distribution?

They have been creating quite a stir on their local circuit with their powerfull live performances and quality delivery. These guys are seriously talented, combining well thought out catchy rock riffs and energetic vocals with what can only be described as a groovy, funk vibe. Their new album, “Long Time Comin” is already available on a few music shops (find them on Amazon here), and will be available for purchase on all partners, and all over the world, in about 4-6 weeks time. We caught up with bass player of the band, Daniel Sjöstrand, to see how he feels about their new online release. We post the Q&A here for your reading pleasure.
