Artist History The band just signed with Aesthetic Records and released an 18 song CD with over 74 minutes of music. The record label allows the band to sell the discs outright at: PO Box 5314 - Topeka,KS - 66605 for $15 +$2 S&H. The record company also guarantees the CD's in that if for any reason you do not like it they will buy back the CD (as long as the CD and Insert aren't damaged). The band sold out of the initial pressing in just over three weeks. The record company has yet to buy back a CD! Within 1998 SOUNDESCAPE also picked up endorsements from Latin Percussion, SWR Engineering Inc., and DR Strings, as well as non-exclusive instrument breaks from Taylor Quality Guitars and Martin Accessoies. The surrounding shows have been getting swarmed with people coming to see if they can pull this off live. The verdict: the energy levels these guys crank out is amazing in itself, but the shear musicianship and quality songwriting leave must people in disbelief.
