BROOKVALE RECORDS SET TO RELEASE STRONG ISLAND COMPILATION FEATURING LONG ISLAND PUNK AND HARDCORE
New York, NY This summer Long Island, NY-based *Brookvale Records* is set to put out its debut release *_Strong Island_*.* *A compilation CD featuring 22 Long Island-based punk and hardcore bands, the record is set to drop July 21, 2009*.* Karl Groeger, proprietor of *Looney Tunes*, a nationally recognized independent record store and Coalition of Independent Record Stores (CIMS) member, has spearheaded the Brookvale label. _Strong Island_ will shine a much-wanted light on Long island hardcore artists making good.
Long Island has always been known for its hardcore scene, so for our first release I felt it important to highlight some of the great new bands, said Groeger. We had over 130 submissions and narrowed it down to 22 great bands for over an hour of music. I also felt it was important to put the CD on the shelves for $9.99.
Although all bands on the compilation have a tie to Long Island, most artists are active on a national level. Many of the bands have extensive national/international touring planned behind the record, including *This Is Hell* (Trustkill Records) and *Crime In Stereo* (Bridge 9 Records). The compilation also features a track from hardcore band *Shukria*, whose line-up contains members from Taking Back Sunday and Movielife.
