L’America is an independent record label that was founded through a desire to develop and nurture real artists in this generation of “disposable music”. Our mission is to work hand in hand with our artists using long term career building principals and, as artists ourselves who have been through the business, to do away with the outdated record label models that are still being used today.

The Mental Straights is my musical ramblings on a plate. From dirty fuzz pop to anarchic and wacky , to punk to funk. But all laced with the same DNA.
And it's all old school...no computer trickery, just play and record and go.

The roots and musical influences of Ya Ya Logic go back to the 1970s and 80s. Paul and Ian were best mates at school in Herefordshire when they recorded their first songs on cassette.  It was psychedelic and  conceptual, complete with felt pen drawn garish orange inlay card. Paul was  loving the British Blues boom, Ian dug the Stones and they both loved  Bolan, Bowie and Mott the Hoople. In the 80s Martin (whose heart really belongs to prog rock) was down south playing drums – and any other instrument he could get his hands on, leading to a spell as front man with cult London-based Suites From Strangers. Jonathan meanwhile was over in Birmingham, most days plugging into a red Marshal combo and thrashing out Dr Feelgood riffs at top volume until his fingers – and ears – bled. 
In 2015 Martin moved in next door to Paul (Paul and Ian had both separately moved to West Malvern back in the 80s and 90s). On finding his neighbour played guitar and had a bunch of original songs, Martin, a serial collaborator, recorded an album of them both playing their own stuff in a studio Martin had set up in his garden. A few weeks later, following a night at the local West Malvern Social Club, Martin invited Jonathan (who had just moved in across the road) to jam along. For a short while the three of them recorded their own songs with Paul playing rhythm guitar, Jonathan getting to grips with single note runs, and Martin doubling up on drums and bass.  Eventually Paul's old compadre Ian, who had been busy gigging with another band, became available to take on the bass. Ya Ya Logic – four blokes who found themselves occupying the same place geographically, philosophically and temporally – was complete. 
In 2017 Ya Ya Logic released their first album "Climbing Trees". This was followed in 2018 by "Own the World" and in November 2019 by third album "It Depends Who You Are."

Rare Elements is an eclectic alternative rock project lauched in the early 2010s from Tampere, Finland. Today, RE-project is progressing led by Harri Sarpavaara. Joel Kuortti (and Harri) is most often responsible for the lyrics. Harri is responsible for the music (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, keys, synths, drum machine, drums programming, composing, arranging, recording, mixing, and mastering). Rare Elements’ music is produced in its own studio in Tampere.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams

"What occurs in the world is that everyone who is born, is born, in some manner of speaking, a poet, the creator of something that did not exist in the world before, till they were born. It is entirely individual.
Man is not born to work, Man is born to create, to be that poet at random. And give to the world his own particular message, to realize the work that can be done and because he is unique, his work will be the only one of the kind in the world." - Agostinho da Silva
