Our Bands
Well, not our bands....each band appears on here courtesy of there respective labels and in most cases by their own volition, and always out of the goodness of their hearts.
As we grow we recognise how incredibly lucky we are to work with such awesome musicians, some of which have become dear friends. We are proud and privileged to have released records containing songs from these artists.

Anti-Flag
In the light of recent events we are saddened to hear about the experiences that a female member of our community had to endure.
We do not condone violence of any kind and we uphold the ideals that we as part of the punk rock community have subscribed to.
No words or actions will be able to undo any suffering. We are contemplating if simply removing the Anti-Flag release from our roster is enough.
