Members of Cavern Deep Announce New Label Bonebag Records
A band deciding to release their own music isn’t necessarily news. It happens daily if not hourly if not on a minute-by-minute basis. What distinguishes Cavern Deep‘s new imprint Bonebag Records is that they’re open to signing other bands, so it’s more than just a logo to put on their own outings — and by the way, I wouldn’t have a problem with it if it was; if you feel you have the gumption to release your own music on a professional-esque basis and handle everything that goes into that, including talking to jerks like me, a logo on back of your record is well earned — but they’re here giving out their email and basically calling for demos like it’s 1995. Goes without saying, but yeah, I dig that ethic.
And good for them deciding to handle their own release as well. You might recall, after issuing their self-titled debut (review here) in July 2021 through Interstellar Smoke Records, they finished recording their second album the next month. They’ve had a few singles out since — including “The Attuning,” which premiered here and can be heard and seen in the video clip at the bottom of this post (yes, it’s got Thomas from Monolord on it) — and I assume they continued to work on the record after the basic tracks were done, but even so. Last I heard they were talking to different labels and so on, and everybody’s pretty much in the same boat on release delays over the last couple years, so starting your own label? It’s not the easiest way to do it, but if, as they say, they want to give a little something back more than just music, that’s a way to do it. I’ll look forward to what comes of it. And also that second Cavern Deep record.
Here’s word from the PR wire:
Psych Doom act Cavern Deep starts their own record label
“After having been active in the heavy music scene for a while, we thought this was a great time to try and start a label of our own. For one it is great to have the luxury of working on our own terms and our own schedule. This will enable us to release more music and to put in the work ourselves to realize it. We are also hoping this is going to be a way for us to give something back to the music scene that has embraced us.
We are looking forward to putting out a lot of good releases, our first one is going to be the next Cavern Deep album. It is due for release this summer.
