I'm glad you were able to get a copy of this cd. The cover didn't come out quite as good as we'd hoped. I'd chosen the Nicolas Poussin painting, 'The Plague at Ashod'. The cover quality aside, I personally feel that this cd was the best thing we'd put out. Luke still has the masters of all of our stuff, so who knows what may show up in the future. As to the question of US bands releasing in Europe over US labels; I think it's a variety of things. Finding a label that isn't too big, one that hasn't appeared to have lost it's way in the scene, but still has the ability to distribute. Also finding a label that's not too small, one being run out a bedroom through a PO Box as well. Travis at ADR did us right. He had bands on the label that were similar to us, bands that were on the rise in the US and international Oi scene. We got a step up with the split, and Vanguard was later able to release on DIMM. With the US having such strict copyright laws, and Oi and punk bands have and do sue under those, I think releasing in Europe opens a band up to other possibilities. That's not to say European countries don't have a stranglehold on speech concerning music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411257483014758843.post-11805221831211659612011-02-17T11:09:41.242-08:002011-02-17T11:09:41.242-08:00I love ATF!
