Alive Naturalsound feature in the LA Times/Burbank Leader – interview with independent label owner Patrick Boissel

KEEPING UP THE RECORD
BY JONNY WHITESIDE

Not far from where the old train tracks dead end at the lumber yard in industrial Burbank, there’s a non descriptive warehouse that, if one is lucky enough to get inside is, turns out to be both a museum-quality, wall-to-wall archive of rock’ n’ roll, punk and B-movie poster art and the home of Alive Naturalsound Records a rebel independent label.

It is a wildly disparate and unlikely success story, one achieved by a horde of musicians drawn from a coast-to-coast talent pool. “Most of our artists come from the Midwest or the South, some from the East Coast, although there are a few exceptions,” Patrick Boissel said.
