Kool Arrow Records
Kool Arrow is all about releasing a diverse range of music that has previously been denied any semblance of mass attention.
Kool Arrow wants to provide access to bands from all over the world who are happy to remain brilliantly talented by being themselves and who aren't merely interested in replicating American Top 40.
Kool Arrow is different, whether you believe it or not. It's a company run by musicians for musicians; a label that allows all varieties of people to give of themselves without being taken, and to feel proud of themselves and of their personal and musical backgrounds.
Remember: just because you haven't heard about something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's out there. And Kool Arrow will bring (some of) it to you. All you have to do is listen.
7 Notas 7 Colores

NAiVE
Russias NAiVE is of that increasingly rare species of bands that really lives the music. If Joey Ramone had smoked three packs a day of those weird Russian cigarettes with the cardboard filters for twenty years and lived in a country where he had to push his grocery money around in a wheelbarrow, his band might have sounded like this.

Not From There
With a history that includes several deportations, a stay in Bratislava, and a hit single sung in a foreign language, Australia's Not From There has perfected their infectious blend of rock and noise.

Puya
Puya is a mix of the frenetic metallic energy of Sepultura or Pantera with a dash of salsa flavor. Fast, grinding guitars give way to a hip-shaking Latin groove. You'll be scratching your head while you bang it.
