Starving Kids

In late 2004, four mates got together with the dream of starting a record label to assist developing artists. In 2005 SK released its first product ?Acoustics and Stones ? Volume One?; which was a collection of songs recorded in our barely better than home studio. The artists on that initial CD included Charlie Thomson, who is now emcee with The Winnie Coopers, Dan Van Zutphen, now the front man for The Paper and The Plane, and Steve Grady. We pressed 500 units and have since sold them all.? As they say ? from little things big things grow.

In our seven short years of existence we?ve helped a number of young bands get a start in this tough industry. It?s what we love to do. Our ultimate goal is to help young artists move forward in this industry and to see them enjoying fruitful careers.
