Nothing Fake about ‘Fake it Or Leave it’ NW music compilation

By Greg Roth on April 7, 2012@WeRideWhy

SMI featured contributor Timmy Held from Tyrannosaurus Grace is not only a talented writer and musician, he’s something of a local record mogul. Well… mogul may be the pushing it a bit – but he is very passionate about shining the spotlight on Pacific Northwest music. That’s why he and his partner Justin Foss put together Fake Label Records.

Now the long awaited FLR compilation, “Fake It or Leave It,” as previewed on SMI Radio, is finally available for your listening pleasure. You can download great music from a collection of talented Northwest artists such as Little Beruit, Smoosh, Afraid of Figs, Shaprece, Mnenomic Sounds, and a lot more for the unbelievably low price of free!

Get it right here.

Not only is he a multi-media journalist, he is also an accomplished musician. He is the founder of SMI and drives the creative look, feel and branding for the publication. His years of writing, arranging, and performing live music in a variety of genres inform his ability to communicate the message and the mechanics of music. Roth’s work on SMI reflects his philosophy that music is the universal language, and builds community. He believes it has the power to unite people of every race, religion, gender, and persuasion.
