Hey all J-Rockers (Visual and Non),

There is a new American distribution label that just started activities. They are based out of New York, but accept volunteers all around the world. Right now, I'm the only visual fan on the staff, so it's hard to convince them to bring over more visual bands, so right now the main focus is non-visual. But they are taking suggestions for bands, so if you want your favorite band to release music in America, you can contact them here: info@take5records.com

But also, as their first release, they will be releasing a Various Artists CD featuring bands all around the world inspired by J-Rock or from Japan. The theme is 'alone in the dark'. I've heard it, and it's pretty awesome, and also features Chicago home-town band, ISTRiA. Anyway, the release date is April 8th, but pre-orders are avaliable now! Copies are limited to 100, so get yours before they're all gone!! Also TAKE 5 ships free (US only). To take advantage of that offer, leaving the shipping method blank.
