The Walk-A-Bout - Things Are Looking Up CD
Aussie-American acoustically driven rock ‘n’ roll quintet THE WALK-A-BOUT hail from the artistic East End of Long Island, NY. THE WALK-A-BOUT are releasing their sophomore album THINGS ARE LOOKING UP, produced by Andrew Michael Bertrand and mastered by Roger Lian, in stores and online worldwide on June 15, 2018. The band’s carefully crafted songwriting has allowed THE WALK-A-BOUT to explore the outer reaches of the orchestral atmosphere, and this dynamic new collection explores that avenue with a welcome pop appeal while maintaining their depth and introspection.

King Kong - Repatriation CD and Vinyl LP
King Kong is back on the scene with a brand new album composed of 12 tracks produced by French label Irie Ites Records. Titled 'Repatriation,' this new album navigates marvelously between the Digital and Rub A Dub, tinged with a touch of eighties, which should delight all the "addikts" of this remarkable period of Jamaican music. Spearhead of this generation of the 80s, King Kong shows us the full extent of his talent by posing wonderfully on various instrumental versions. Composed by Roots Radics, Leroy Mafia, Sly & Robbie, Dwight Pinkney, Bongo Herman, Russ D, or Naram & Art.

One Gun Shy - Eye of the Storm CD
Hard Rock music is making a resurgence in the Seattle Music Scene and One Gun Shy is part of that effort. Many fans have commented on how well the band plays together and about their solid live performances. When asked why the fans acknowledge the band’s level of precision and polish, Momma Lynn Records Founder and CEO Michael Decker said, "One Gun Shy delivers crunchy and gritty melodic Hard Rock music. Period. This isn’t some ‘part-time bedroom band’ recording stuff on their iPhones. These are veteran musicians who use professional gear, create a professional sound, and make professional recordings.”

Making Movies – I Am Another You / Lady Rizo – Indigo – Vinyl LPs
These two releases have had CD versions previously released in the IDC Catalog, and are now newly available in Vinyl LP Format!
MAKING MOVIES is an American rock and roll band that entrances audiences with their interweaving of Afro-Latino rhythms and psychedelic rock'n'roll riffs. Armed with their ambitious and politically charged new album, I AM ANOTHER YOU, the band punches out one high-energy song after another with theatrics and improvisation littered throughout.
The New York Times once referred to Lady Rizo (né Amelia Zirin-Brown) as “a formidable belter who can sustain phrases and notes even when sprawled on her back on a piano and scissoring her legs.” They’re not alone in that enthusiasm. Lady Rizo—who is releasing Indigo, her second album—has collaborated with Moby, Reggie Watts, and Yo-Yo Ma, the latter on his Songs of Joy & Peace album, which won a Grammy Award.
