Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us ... (Rorschach)
Vielleicht ist genau das, was Rorschach gegenüber Daniel äußert, das was mich als Label umtreibt. Aus einem ähnlichen Gedanken heraus ist dann auch vor Jahren Sounds of Subterrania entstanden.
Für all die mich nicht kennen, möchte ich mich zuerst kurz vorstellen. Mein Name ist Gregor und ich betreibe in Hamburg (m)ein Plattenlabel namens Sounds of Subterrania. Das Label existiert seid 1998 und ich arbeite und arbeitete mit Bands wie The Dirtbombs, Melt-Banana, King Kahn, BBQ, Sewergrooves, Chris Wollard von Hot Water Music, Kamikaze Queens, The Monsters, Frankie Stubbs von Leatherface, Gyogun Rend's, El Guapo Stuntteam und vielen mehr. Wichtiger Bestandteil des Labels ist die Herstellung besonderer Special Editions, aus Holz, Metal, Plastik, Beton und sämtlichen möglichen und unmöglichen Materialien die mir zur Verfügung stehen.
Bei Fragen schreibt mich an und ich versuche schnellstmöglich Euch eine Antwort zu schreiben.
Und jetzt viel Spass beim Stöbern wünscht
