about

Three cult pop heroes come together to make the record that they always wanted to hear. An adventurous mix of authentic 60's/70's AM. McCartney, Nilsson, XTC, 10CC, to be sure, but The Major Labels don't sound like parody, they sound like peers.

The Major Labels are Mike Viola, Bleu, and Ducky Carlisle
