Phonic Records

The Debut CD by B.C.’s favorite Roots Rockers is here on Phonic Records – The Rippin’ Rattlers. They do rip, with a bluesy sound that sometimes bites, and sometimes soothes but always buoyed by the finely crafted songs of band founder Brad Fenton. We are proud to announce this new addition to the Phonic Records stable.

Adding to past music placement success, Phonic Records artist Alan Kirk has made contributions to soundtrack music for the indie feature film, The Tanchiro Brothers. The exciting crime drama from Director Stefan Berrill also features  the song ‘Time In The World‘ from Alan’s debut album Getting There.  Alan’s music has also been  licensed for use in a European TV show, for a Red Lobster TV commercial, and for an upcoming Canadian feature film soundtrack  - congratulations!

Phonic artists  Alan Kirk and The Alternators have enjoyed a warm reception from audiences in Germany, and are now pleased to announce their newest member: bassist Charly Maucher from the iconic German band Jane.  (http://www.jane-music.com/jane-eng/Seiten/Start.htm).  Charly is mixing his new role with periodic Jane tours around Europe. Jane is currently touring to promote their new album ‘Traces’, which includes the Kirk-penned tune ‘Love Me Tomorrow‘. The Alternators will return to Germany this year, for a  2010 Tour featuring Kirk and Kevin Armstrong.

The latest release from Alan Kirk, the album ‘Some Songs‘ achieves a sound that harkens back to 70’s rock, but stays fresh and new. Twelve great  tracks from the veteran rock writer and performer are sure to satisfy fans of classic and progressive rock. Mixed by East Coast ace producer Tom Ronan. Available at our online outlets.

 Check out a preview track of Doug Normal’s new digital-only release ‘Cat Freeked Out’, and download the entire set of tunes.  Doug demands a solid listen, with cutting lyrics and passionate guitar thrashing. This  new musical venture from the energetic and intriguing songwriter also features cover art by B.C. artist Cindi Smith.
