Convoj recently recorded their debut full-length at Tonteknik in Umeå, but unfortunately they are without a label to release it. All the bigger labels that have expressed interest think it's too unaccessable and the small indies can't afford to pay for it - Tonteknik is a great studio, but it's definitely not cheap. So yeah, the band is currently weighing their options and are open to suggestions. For now, I suggest you head over to myspace to listen to them 'cuz they're a great band: https://www.myspace.com/convoj
Hopefully this will get resolved soon.
