Geoff 11th in IMNZ Independent Album Chart

xcept

The very first international Independents Day starts this Friday (3rd July), it commences in New Zealand, and we wanted to let you know about it. It’s a chance for us to team up with our independent label association cousins around the globe to celebrate independent music, and we’re pretty excited.

We’ve also got the latest IMNZ chart for you. And if you’re curious to know what else our labels and distributors are up to at the moment, normal transmission will resume very soon and we’ll have a big serving of news from our labels and artists for you in the next week or so.
