Skeletal Lightning Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Skeletal Lightning is an independent DIY label and distro in the Midwest. The label started as a blog to spread awareness of the Midwestern underground music scene, and felt the need to get more involved by releasing music from the bands we love and support. We truly believe in the hard-working artists and their music. What better way to show our support than by helping them bring their music to its most beloved form – physical. Whether it be cassette or vinyl, Skeletal Lightning aims to bring quality music from kick-ass bands to their fans with special packaging, cool goodies, limited artwork, and more with each release. All proceeds from anything Skeletal Lightning related go directly toward future Skeletal Lightning projects.
