FUTURE SOVIETUNIONRECORDS RELEASES :

Keep watching - things have moved on a lot since Chairsmissing but we're still out there recording and working with bands - two compilations (Hard Rock - sampler  and electronic download) are / will be available FREE  of charge - as a rule we don't go out picking the obvious airplay / easy sellers - that's far to easy to do - look for bands that seem off the radar...
