Jeff Moses (World Domination, Inc. / 월드 도미네이션 인코퍼레이트)

SPB: How do you find the international artists who are on the label? 

Moses: All of the bands on our label come from the personal connections we've built from being involved in the punk scene for over 20 years. With the bands from outside Korea, it's not different.

Right now, Iman's League (Singapore) and Green Eyed Monster (Japan) are the only two non-Korean bands officially on World Domination, Inc. We met both of them while ...Whatever That Means was on tour in Southeast Asia and Japan. We played together in their countries, booked them tours in Korea, and then made it a little more official by becoming their label here in Korea.

Beyond the bands officially on the label, we've done releases with bands from the US, Mexico, Malaysia, and have an upcoming release with a ska band from the UK. Again, these are all through the personal connections we've made through touring abroad and booking tours here in Korea. That's one of the most exciting parts of being a small DIY label. Any show or band you book could lead to new connections with great bands from all over the work. It's really cool.
