Women's Role In B-movies

To refer to the valuable seal RECORD MAN'S RUIN, we must begin with the threshold, we must begin by detailing his transcendent creator, and I mean the great artist and designer, Frank KOZIC.

Kozic Frank was born in Spain in 1962. He immigrated to the United States at the age of 14 years later, Frank would begin to stir in the local underground, making a great approach to the punk rock scene, this part is the step in toccata toccata, from bar to bar, sniff and consume any type of drugs, moreover, only getting casual work and poorly paid, but this led him to meet a few types that are engaged in carrying out leaflets or flyers for gigs on the circuit, is then that Frank would take great care in this type of work, immediately introduced into the work, standing in supremacy for their great talent and creativity, taking imminently Poster Art style reins

Frank would soon gain great prestige and recognition, the first posters for bands such as the Ministry would conduct, or Sonic Youth, his steps were outstanding, the world of underground rock, surrendered at his feet , the point of granting him his first art exhibition in the gallery, LA LUZ DE JESUS, in Los Angeles.

Undoubtedly Frank occupied a completely critical, his posters were routine in which he allowed to draw and ridicule, political figures of the stature of Richard Nixon, Churchill Marx, Mao and Adolf Hiltl himself, as well as taking pictures of Hanna-Barbera, with its typical characters, but all in positions sexual, violent, drugged or totally also , issued a strong attachment to the comic book super heroes, in which , Every time I could, embodied their great appreciation for their great heroes, all the American counterculture had no place in their posters, all, no one, he escaped to the irony of Frank, all the shortcomings of the society are ridiculed.

For these years, making this poster was completely novel, Frank scattered throughout the scene under their posters, that is why, I occupy as much time to their work, capturing the attention of the caliber of bands Red Hot Chilli Repperes, Motley Crue, Danzig, Nich Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, The Cramps, Alice Cooper, Ramones, Beastie Boys, Neil Young, etc..

MANS 'RUIN Mr. Frank
RECORD Kozic, defended a great attachment to the underground scene, running his great work spreading the underground scene, that is why, to this great artist did not draw wide with just posters, but it also aimed to create an independent label where all these bands would fit.

is why, in 1994 created the independent label, MAN'S RUIN RECORD, with the sole aim of propagating the growing underground scene, for those so flourishing a remarkable scene that grew the most prominent of the experimental rock, a sound that dragged the whole sound of the 70's, Garage Rock, Acid Rock, Doom, Sludge, Hard Rock, and the indiscriminate use drugs and all types of hallucinogenic substances, later this would become known as stoner rock.

MANS RUIN RECORD seal, do not sign any contracts with the bands, they were given total creative independence, all copyright fell into each of the bands in question, usually every band had the freedom to create a disk Within 2 to 5 years, and Mr. Frank Kozic, was in charge only of the chart records,
usually threw in a totally limited stock on vinyl, this being the cause of which is transformed into a real piece of worship, each vinyl had a different number, different color (depending on print run), that is why today these discs are worth fully raised and are very difficult to acquire.

Almost immediately, the seal was listed as a cult, many were the bands who wanted to dump their singles, unreleased tracks and albums, taking for granted that this would give them a safe entry to the U.S. market, one of the first were the "Apocalypse Dudes" of the Scandinavians, TURBO BLACK.
