A few months ago I came across the band 'honeyhoney' & heard that they were signed to Keifer Sutherland's record label--Ironworks Music. The first song of theirs I heard was "Shiny Toy Guns" & I rather liked it, so I decided to explore what the '24' star was up to. In addition to 'honeyhoney' Ironworks represents the likes of 'Lifehouse' (who many of you probably know), 'Rocco DeLuca & the Burden', 'Sexsmith' & 'Billy Boy on Poison'. Sutherland & his friend, Jude Cole, renowned singer-songwriter, manager & producer said that Ironworks came to be after they opened a artist driven recording space and just invited musicians they liked to come down & get creative. "It's actually something that just organically turned into a label. It was more of a natural progression," said Cole. But what drove these two rather already successful entertainment patrons to nurture these artists? I'll let Mr. Cole tell you: “I think we’ve both had multiple experiences where we had a project that we were so passionate about, and maybe didn’t have the control to follow it through when someone else dropped the ball. We were both anxious to be in the position where we could find things to remain passionate about and let the inspiration lead the way. We really want to keep it on the level at which there is a reason that we release each record.” A subtle, sign-language gesture for corporate entertainment-- I like it! But what's more is, that I really like the Ironworks artists! They definitely have a great, punky, alternative rock sound that I'm really diggin'. I LOVE "Saturday's Child" by Billy Boy on Poison. Have yourself a listen!
