About Island of Sound

From January 2004 to April 2005 Marty Shane lived in Taiwan going to whatever shows, parties and music fests he could find. Whether it was DJ Lim Giong's outdoor Her-he parties, hanging out with the shady nite crew of the Underground, digging the seediness of Spin or rocking out at the summertime fests like Ho-Hai-Yan and Formoz, he was always making the scene, observing the happenings and taking in the sounds. At the close of his stay, was the island's yearly rock ritual Spring Scream when all the bands gather around for a five day celebration in the mountains by the beach. After Marty returned home to NY, he wrote what he could remember about each band he saw and made profiles for them on the ISLAND OF SOUND website.

www.islandofsound.org

In late 2006 Marty launched PACIFICTION RECORDS, an online CD shop where you can find many of the bands featured on Island of Sound. If you are interested in any of the bands found here, you can request more info about them from PACIFICTION RECORDS.
