October
What a long strange trip its been since mid june 2013. You would not belive half of it. Now we have come out stronger and hopefully wiser. Anyway, the cover for Vol. 1 is now redone. The tunes are sent to the pressing plant. Hopefully Vol 1. will be out before x-mas 2013. The bands on Vol. 1 are Suomen Pojat & CCK-9. The label is by the way run by four musiclovers from Sweden, Tom, Jimmy, Mik and Nikki. We are on a mission from the Godz of rock and roll! Stay true!
The testimonium. The lowdow. The lists.
Thunder & Lightning Records is a Swedish non-profit record label formed in 2013. We release limited 7" vinyl singles by bands we like. Saving the world one record at a time.
We will print 100 copies. The band/artist will recieve 10 copies. Remaining 80 copies will be traded by Thunder & Lightning Records. We´re not making any money. Instead we´re paying for all costs ourselves. If someone wants a 7" split single, all they have to do is send us a 7" of choice and they will recieve a copy of our releases. We´re going back to the early 80´s, ladies and gents. Trading is the new black. This is our small contribution to the music world.
The lowdown every 6 months:
1 split single
2 artists/bands
100 copies
Let there be rock!
