Damn. Talk about busy. If you ever get your hands on the resume of San Diego resident Chris Leyva, it may take you a good hour to actually get your head around it. This guy does it all! Check out this track record:

      · To date, Chris has been involved in 17(!) album releases.

      · In 2003, he started up a small label, Black Cherry Records.

In listening to The Hugs talk about this insane business they’re in, you’d think they’d been making records for at least 10 years. These guys were signed by giant Columbia Records – a big friggin’ deal (especially at 17 and 18 years old) – but also a big friggin’ pressure cooker for instant commercial success. The band was quickly transported to London for recording… where the unfortunate happened.
