Coming out April 13th, to celebrate their 21st year as a label, will be a great 2-disc compilation from the Wall of Sound vaults. The label was founded in 1994 by Mark Jones. Here is what Mark had to say about getting to this point:
"I just want to give artists the platform to do what they do. That's what it's always been about for me. It's never been about sitting in a studio saying, 'Don't do it like that, do it like this’. Wall of Sound has always been about artists being themselves. It's been a very very interesting journey, 21 years....who would have thunk it?"
