Sulari Hard Rock Band album of New Music to drop ARC and all streaming services

Sulari based Artist Recording Collective (ARC) has inked a deal to release Kalistan's next big band, Salgo's new record, "Bomb Sides", a take on the standard B-Sides format of previously unreleased music that established artists often release several records into their career.

ARC spokesperson Lala Jones said "ARC is thrilled to be releasing Salgo's music. After they were named to represent Kalistan in FOMAT, the band was bumrushed by A&R execs who had not spent a lot of time with the band in the past. We had no idea what we are missing! But we are thrilled to say now that the band has done a new music album for ARC and we look forward to continuing to work with Salgo in the future, whatever happens at FOMAT!"

Salgo Frontwoman Janice Tarkington said, of the deal, "Haha, see, we've been putting out our own records on mix tapes at our shows for years. We record our shows on a two track, and we have a studio set up in Eddie [Howard, the band's drummer}'s basement where we produce stuff on a 4 track. So when we saw ARC's setup, we were like 'Minds BLOWN'... Know what I mean?"

Co-Singer Donna Howard said "And from a money standpoint, the company payed us outright for the product and we got a generous distribution and licensing deal on the back end. More money than we have ever had before, just for a record of songs we already had written and tested before countless audiences. Where is the downside?"

ARC has always had better relationships with the artists they have worked with than KMI, who were reportedly outbid by ARC, even though they offered Salgo less up front. "We wanted to stay with an Artist owned label," said Howard. All in all they gave us a better deal. Plus, they agreed to make their money on sales, but they are doing a subscription model with us, where fans pay what they think the record is worth, and get it for whatever they pay. It might mean less money for the company, but to us, it allows us to keep our integrity, and also enjoy some commercial success too."

ARC has provided IZQUIERDA with an early release of Bomb Sides to share with our readers.

Salgo travels to Argona Selucia this coming Summer to represent Kalistan in FOMAT IX.
