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

Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch

This is a pitch perfect cover album (along with Here Comes the Reign Again). I'm hoping for a pseudo 90's cover collection next. Seriously, I listen to a lot of covers, and this is great. Great artists, great song choices, great renditions. Great! reaperzer0
