We put together a super awesome compilation CD called KEEP IT REAL, which features all of our artists, some TDR Records artists, and then some good buds from around the way who write incredibly great songs.  You know - real music.  It’s this new genre where musicians and songwriters really get down to business.

So please tell everyone, including DAVID CAMERON and maybe even JULIA LOUISE DREYFUS that the next 37 CD, vinyl, T-shirt, and hoodie orders from our merch store will come with one of these cute little puppies.
