One must be suspicious of the record industry at all times.
Unfortunately for Seattle, the name of the city has become synonymous
with "music industry hype". Every time a half decent band comes out of
some smaller city (i.e., not from the big 5 or 6 cities), that city
becomes "the next Seattle" (Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, Austin, TX, etc)
in all the press. So when I hear "Seattle jugle outfit", I think "inane
record industry hype". But, again, I don't know anything about them.
They are apparently Artists, not a label.
If you can tell me anything, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
