Onno Cro-Mag & Roger Miret present: Strength Records

One must be insane to start a new record label in these days of ever decreasing music sales. Two guys who were there from the very beginning just pulled it off! Onno Cro-Mag and Roger Miret were brought together by the love for harcore and punkrock 25 years ago. After teaming up on the succesfull “Worldwide Tribute To The Real Oi!” albums they had a dream of starting a new record label together. Here we are in 2012 and the dream has become reality.

Back to the roots and basics of the scene and is bound to become a family for bands out of all genres.
