From Here To There - Halifax, NS

We have had financial support from CEED, CYBF, Emerging Music Business program and the Rock Garden. Operating a jam space, it [for some reason] seemed to make sense to start a label. So here we are.

Do you accept demos?
Send them our way. We WILL listen to them but do not expect a reply to every submission [we honestly don't expect many but should that day come, you were previously informed].
We suggest a SASE or postcard that we can drop in the mail the day we receive your package - no effort on our part and certain to be done.
Get our mailing address on the contact page.
We are open to any genre.
Good people making good music - that's what we want.

Jeremy Stewart the first drummer for Their Majesties when they were the PGods came up with it. We beat him and took it like it was his lunch money.
For us it means two things:
1) It represents our goal for working with bands and getting them from where they are now with their music to the next level - whatever that implies for them
2) It addresses the physical reality of being based out of the relatively isolated region in which we find ourselves and the need to get out of here to be heard
We also think it means we'll be around for awhile.

We like how this quote works with our name too:
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Assuming our acts one day become relatively known - it won't take long for a fan to post an album online [and popularity really has nothing to do with it - they could have one fan and that fan posts it on torrent sites]. By simply accepting that as the way things work now we have embraced the opportunity to allow poeple the chance to "test drive" our offerings beforehand in an attempt to keep them coming back to sample - and hopefully one day - purchase something we are releasing.

And as Ryan "Chicky" Brown, drummer for Glory Glory Man United, noted - Buying an album you're never heard as a means of checking out a band is sketchy.

We agree.

We try and operate on principles of an implied mutual respect with anyone we deal with.

We dislike psychic vampires and dark clouds.

We are music fanatics.

We like connecting with other music fan[atic]s
