Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2023
About a year ago, I made a blog post called “Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2022“, in which I checked in on what a dozen of my favorite still-active labels had been up to during that year. I really enjoyed doing it (last year I wrote that “[small, independent record labels have] consistently been a keyContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2023”
Pressing Concerns: Royal Ottawa, Lonesome Joan, Cosmo Jimmy, Still Submarine
