Sharktooth Records Showdown
When it comes to music, Saint John has always had that special something, a unique vibe that can’t properly be put into words. We’ve all tried. It’s not related to a specific sound or a specific band. It might best be described as a resilient attempt to build a sustainable infrastructure that supports and encourages creative output – or something like that.
Enter Sharktooth Records. A small label dedicated to “Syndicating the sounds from the bowels of the Bay of Fundy” by releasing cassette and digital releases from a broad range of Saint John performers.
Three Sharktooth bands will perform at The Capital Complex on December 12, 2014. Learning, Stegosaurus and Reagan’s Rayguns.
