Dec, 2007: Eastern Blok in the Chicago Free Press
"The Chicago music scene has become increasingly exotic over the years and the next two discs prove it. Eastern Blok’s sophisticated “Balkan fusion” sound on their disc “Folk Tales” (Easternblok.net) is sure to appeal to the growing following of acts such as Gogol Bordello and The World/Inferno Friendship Society." -Gregg Shapiro, Chicago Free Press

Nov, 2007: New Music… New Tours…
We're now booking Andy McKee and his hero, Don Ross, on their US tours for 2008. Could we be more honored to be working with these Candyrat Records artists? No. Andy, the #1 Most Downloaded Artist on YouTube.com, has been a busy bee all over the UK, Europe and the USA this past year, and we intend to send him back across the country, along with appearances in Portugal, Germany, Iceland, Japan, and Austria, to name a few. Check out Andy's new album, The Gates of Gnomeria, out now... or go find that YouTube clip that everyone is talking about. Don Ross, legendary fingerstyle guitarist who hails from our Northern cousin, Canada, has released Live In Your Head and will be touring the USA and Canada next year to promote it. If you're on the West Coast, check out Don's tour dates, as he’ll be dueling it out (banjo-free!) with Andy McKee.
