Influences OK please read this: We release melodic music. Indiepop and such, ok? Athough we are really flattered that a lot of post hardcore, nu metal and industrial bands have contacted us and want us to release their albums...how can I say this..um, no. We don't want to sound standoffish or elitist, but there are other labels better suited to your kind of music, ok?
If you got past the first part, please read on.


Submissions Policy:
Ok. You think your band is really wonderful and you would like us to release it on our label.
If you're interested in having us hear your unique sound send us a non-returnable CD, CD-R, or Cassette.
Please include a brief bio to tell us something about you.
Our address is: Skipping Stones Records P.O. Box 24 Oakville, CT 06779.
You may also email us a link to MP3's if you have a web host. Please DO NOT send us MP3's in an email.

If you haven't noticed, we have DISABLED HTML IN OUR COMMENTS! Please leave a comment without images or links, thank you.

So what's this Skipping Stones thing? We'll tell you about the players...

WILLIAM KNAPP:
Hi, my name is William. To the left is a picture of me when I was about six. I have been involved in music in one way or another since before that photo was taken. I've been in a lot of bands like: CIA, Reflex From Pain, 76% Uncertain, Onion, Shelter, Explodee (with Greg Vegas from Monsterland) and Names for Pebbles. A few others too, which you may or may not have heard of. I've done a lot of recording and producing of bands. If you want to know who, just e mail me! Right now I make a living as the Creative Director of an Interactive Media company. Music is my true passion though, like air, I need it to live.

CHRISTINE JEWELL:
Hi, my name is Christine. I grew up in the Green Mountains and made my way to CT via New York and art school. I love flowers, making pretty things and stuff that sparkles. Sometimes I wish I lived in a different century, like Victorian England, Imperial China or the Renaissance. My favorite color is periwinkle.



Skipping Stones Records!
The Besties of NYC are Marisa and Kelly ..boards / vocals and Ricky on guitar. Their debut album, "Singer", was released on Valentine's Day, 2006 to raving reviews. This album is almost sold out!
"bright, bubbly and downright infectious" SoundsXP
"melts the hardest of hearts" Magnet
"assured and catchy, not to mention kinda touching" Time Out / New York

Lili de la Mora and Rodney Sellars make up the duo The Year Zero from Long Beach, CA. Lili's gentle vocals weave together with Rodney's layerings of guitars and keyboards to create futuristic dream pop soundscapes reminiscent of early shoegaze.
"swoony dreamscapes that are ethereal, dreamy and even a bit ambient" indiepages
"gleaming lo-fi ambient anthems that suggest My Bloody Valentine with an elegant hangover" music.download.com

Swedish pop trio The Charade, comprised of members of Happydeadmen, The Shermans and Red Sleeping Beauty, released their second album, emblazoned in Swedish colors, in June. Swedish newspaper Expressen compares The Charade to The Cardigans and has pronounced the song "Dressed in Yellow and Blue" as the best tribute to the Swedish World Cup Soccer Team.
"the sweetest pop song I've heard written for a World Cup team...it's from The Charade, and like most Swedish pop floating around these days, is catchy and beautiful." extrawack.com

Dyrdin's self titled album was released just before Popfest! New England. They played to a packed house. It was their second time to the US and their second popfest.
"What makes great indie pop? Sensitive lyrics? Adorability? When you sing in Icelandic about dreamy ski instructors and mesh an infectious blend of girl-pop and C-86, there is no rubric for pop; there is just Dyrdin." Amplifier

Skipping Stones Records is located in Oakville, CT, USA and is part of the global pop revolution reflected in the true spirit of DIY!


Watch out for the 5th Annual Popfest! New England in November, 2008! Take a look at our blog / myspace / website for all of the great and inspiring moments of this three-day indie pop extravaganza. Lots of videos, too!
