Chapter 13: The Early 2000's Through the Eyes of Watashi Wa

Chapter 13 We now continue to move into the 2000’s era of Tooth & Nail Records. Brandon has sold half of the company to EMI and has purchased and absorbed Takehold Records, which brought its founder Chad Johnson on staff. Heavy music was continuing to explode, but also, in keeping with the Tooth and Nail style, Brandon and the staff continued to try to break and include a very wide variety of artists, including a very happy and poppy rock outfit from San Luis Obispo, CA, called Watashi Wa. Fronted by yet another young man who grew up as a Tooth & Nail kid, Seth Roberts joins Labeled to help paint the picture of that time and the unique challenges they faced. The story is of one dream fulfilled, and of another only partially fulfilled.   Ad:  Listen to John van Deusen: http://jvd.lnk.to/origami   https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon   Join Labeled on Facebook   SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Watashi Wa "Clear" Guns N' Roses "It's So Easy" MxPx "Let it Happen" Starflyer 59 "Fell in Love at 22" Fine China "We Rock Harder Than You Ever Knew" Watashi Wa "With Love From Me to You" Watashi Wa "All of Me" Watashi Wa "Smoke Signals" Watashi Wa "Face" Watashi Wa "Ten Years and Separating States"       MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N; Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH    * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store
