As we continue our look back on 2011, we reach April, a month that includes Record Store Day. An annual event that helps promote local independent record stores. Over the past decade we have seen many of these unique treasures go under, due to the proliferation of online retailers and big box behemoths, that has made it very difficult for the small local shops to compete. Many artist and labels unveil rare, and or exclusive vinyl releases each year, that are only available to these local stores to help out. We have a few tracks from said releases in this installment of 2011 Our Year In Sound; April. Even though we share a lot of free downloads, which are promotional tracks from the artists and labels, we sincerely hope that all of our readers/listeners still purchase music from locally owned shops, and see live performances from the artists we feature. Support independent music, or die a slow, culturally homogeneous death.
