"In Between Two Nothings" is out now! This album belongs to any of you who has experienced certain moments or even years of feeling the detachment from the place you're living in. This album belongs to anyone who has suffered the sorrow of loneliness and segregation from the community; to any of you who bears no more humdrum cliches of the era for any not given reason, to anyone who finds pretense a no more possible move.

We hope you enjoy listening to this record and join us in the journey that has just begun.

You can order the album digital and physical from the link below:

As a listener in iran, i always thought about how bands can work here without the smallest support from anyone and thing that this music is completely forbidden here made me think about it too much.
As i get closer to some bands here and talking to them i found out that the situation is really worse than i thought.
The gear and instruments are really expensive here and they have 0 income from what they work, and most of them didn’t know about the promotion stuff. Mastercards and Paypal are blocked in iran by the government and also the companies themselves.

I thought i should help them with all i could, i found a way to get a paypal so we can gather their income from the streaming platforms and also found a way to distribute their music to their platforms.

This is the only thing bands here get, they cannot play any shows, they cannot sell their music and like anything at all, they are always in danger of getting arrested.
I made this digital record label here so i can help them in any possible way.

I ask for all my foreign friends to help us in this way and consider the limitations here.

We are in need of promotion pages and reviews, we need you to share and spread the word as far as you could.

Be sure there are some sick music coming your way that are perfect and made with the minimum equipment and support from anyone at all!

This is all i ask from you guys to share the page and let your friends know about the situation in iran.

Thank you all in advance for your support!
