Sunset Records Announces the Signing of Richtaste

New York, NY, July 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Swiss rock band Richtaste has signed with Sunset Records; label to release the Universal Records Switzerland debut "Richtaste" CD this month around the rest of the world, and the brand new exclusive worldwide release of "Lights and Shades" on September 23rd. The brand new CD is being produced by Patrick Aeby who is known for his work in the multi platinum legendary rock band, Krokus.

Richtaste will put out their brand new studio CD all over the world on September 23, 2008. "Lights and Shades" will be released worldwide with Sunset Records, the major Indy record label that is located in New York City. Richtaste is the very well known band from Switzerland that includes Marc Gasser, Roger Vez, Raphael Nussbaum, Reto Gasser and Stefan Fankhauser. The brand new CD is produced by Patrick Aeby from the band Krokus.

"We are very lucky to have signed this band today," says the head of Sunset Records, Don Lichterman about Richtaste. "This new CD is incredible and they should be finished mastering this week. We also get to release the debut CD everywhere but in the two European countries Universal will continue to work the CD. It's an easy project for us to work. We have so many songs for radio and the production (Patrick Aeby) is sick. There is an incredible progression from the debut CD to this new "Lights and Shades CD (which is great in itself). I am just overly psyched to be able to work both of their titles my way."

Sunset will be releasing the debut self titled CD on July 15th by distributing the CD through its digital distribution system. The physical CD will be available wherever CDs are sold online and in bricks and mortar stores starting next week. The "Lights and Shades" CD will be released to stores all over the world and through every digital distribution channel in the world beginning on September 23rd. The band is also scheduled to perform its new material at the Open Air Etziken music festival in Etziken Switzerland on July 26th.
