ZenHill Records

A new record label in town, and definitely a promising one; it’s a joint venture between Dan Workman of H-town’s legendary SugarHill Studios and Ross Wells of Zenfilm, and the idea’s apparently to act as more of an “incubator” to help bands/musicians (currently from here, but whether it’ll stay that way’s anyone’s guess) make it big. They’re vowing to make sure bands don’t go into debt or lost the rights to their own music, which is a major point in my book (although I don’t think bands on most indie labels have to worry about that, anyway).

The roster’s already looking good, with the {Southern Backtones}, {Winter Wallace}, and most recently, {The Tontons} all signing up. Got my fingers crossed that the label will put out some good stuff.
