Luna Records, the label responsible for Robert Pollard's non-GBV output, has picked up Bloomington, Indiana's Brando. The band formerly released their albums via Smokeylung Records. The rationale behind the move is simple: Brando wanted to expose their sound to a larger audience. Through the deal with Luna, the band's releases will be distributed to more than 120 stores and over 150 radio stations. Smokeylung plans release some Brando 7" records, as well as some EPs. Brando, in the meantime, is looking to sue "that actor fuck" for running off which their name. The horror!
