/24-7PressRelease/ - KIMBERTON, PA, April 20, 2006 -- As traditional record companies continue to wrestle with how to operate in a digital music world, suburban-Philadelphia-based Internet-only music label, ItsAboutMusic.com, is continuing to embrace and expand digital accessibility to its stable of over 300 artists. According to company President, Dean Sciarra, "I saw this revolution coming more than seven years ago. The major labels frequently make decisions based on criteria other than talent. Music fans just want to hear great music, and through my website and our worldwide distribution network they have the ability to find it without major labels getting in the way. My label prides itself on the quality of the music we offer. Quality is our only deciding factor in signing an artist."
ItsAboutMusic.com enables recording artists to maintain creative control while still reaching an international audience of music fans. The Internet has made the music world a smaller place and transferred much of the power once held solely by record executives into the hands of musicians and music fans alike. ItsAboutMusic.com is open to all ages of artists and all genres of music, so fans are delighted to find both old and new music by artists from the sixties, seventies, and eighties in addition to new artists looking to build their audiences.
Music offered from the label includes that of sixties ground-breakers Nazz, The Buckinghams, Jake Holmes, Orpheus, The Orlons and Dee Dee Sharp; familiar seventies artists Aztec Two-Step, It's a Beautiful Day, Paul Siebel, Iain Matthews, Michael Stanley, Richie Furay (of Poco and The Buffalo Springfield), Crack The Sky, Andy Pratt, Genya Ravan (of Ten Wheel Drive), The Pousette-Dart Band, Ike Willis (Frank Zappa's lead guitarist), and Dave Edmunds; and eighties and nineties musicians John Crawford (founder of Berlin), Fran Smith (former Hooters member), Dakota, and Huffamoose. There are even surprising musical finds from Chevy Chase back in the late sixties and recent tunes from voice-over celebrity Billy West (on The Howard Stern Show from '89 to '95). The label offers fertile ground for bands with political stances like Op-Critical and Epoxy, hard-edged bands like Vulpine and Shovelhook and alternative new-comers like Aurora (featuring Matt Malley of Counting Crows), Trisha O'Keefe, Stygian Veil, and David Berkeley.
