Time for some updates!
We may not be able to host any live TLR shows for the next few weeks/months, BUT
THAT DOESNT MEAN WE ARE ON VACATION.

TLR Records has always been about the bands/artists. We are here because and for YOU GUYS. So we are currently working on a series of media related projects. One of which being a "show" if you will.

All we wanna know is....well, about you! DM or email us at [email protected]. Send us your music or video, a paragraph or few about your history, and if you have any release dates for records or etc coming out! (Once the current global crisis calms and we all can play shows again, we would also like to hear about your upcoming shows!!)

We have been planning this suprise for a while now, and despite the COVID 19 pandemic, we are working from home and will continue growing and doing what we love: bringing local CT musicians together, and getting them to the eyes and ears of as many people as we can. Stay safe everyone.

Love
Cashlin and Matt
