Andrew (Raw Grip)

SPB: Your record is releasing on 6 different labels (in 6 countries). How did you connect with so many different labels?

Andrew: We have been in the punk hardcore scene for a long time and during all this time we have gathered a lot of different contacts and acquaintances, so finding labels was not a problem for us, we immediately knew who we need to contact to release our Kaleidoscope EP.

In the global DIY community, such releases are quite common, ie several labels are dumped financially to make the circulation of vinyl records because this case is quite expensive, and not every label at one time or another has the opportunity to release the entire release on their own. It's convenient, and as a result, everyone is happy, many famous bands in the punk scene release their albums in a similar way.
