Punk Shit Records

Punk Shit Records started in 2001 to release a 7'' by Birmingham,(England) Streetpunx Dogshit Sandwich which turned out to be a split 7'' with Hippy War Generals from Melbourne(Australia) Also planned was a compilation called Punk Shit Volume 1. These two releases took plenty of money to make and it looked unlikely that the label would release anything else for ages but Runnin Riot wanted to do a split 7'' which was with briliant new German punx Tower Blocks and this was too good to turn down so the cash was found and it became the first split release with another label which was what the label was built on afterwards, from then on allmost all the releases have been split releases or have had outside cash going into them (for anyone starting a label this is a great way to make things easier). The label has done to date 20 releases and is now a cd only label, vinyl is both beutifull and collectable but it's just not cost effective nowadays and is much harder to sell than cd.The label is very diy, this phrase means different things to different people,to some diy is cdr and paper cut n paste booklet,nothing wrong with that format but it's hard to trade a lot of the time and this label's distribution is tradeing. I looked at distribution companies but they are after all companies and companies are all about capital first and for me and my direction for this label music is the most important thing, getting people a good quaility music product at a reasonable price is what it's all about. This label is proof that this is possible, you can pick up these releases,and the distro stock at a fraction of the costs of most shops,yet the label makes a small amount of money to go back into new releases so if I can sell cheap and still make what are those rip off bastards making?? Also PS is a cheap distro stocking cd's and vinyl from all over the world at good prices so please check out the website for more information. You can buy some PS Releases on www.interpunk.com P.S Any labels that trade releases please get in touch about trades. ATTENTION. BANDS DO NOT SEND ME ANY MORE REQUESTS TO RELEASE STUFF FOR YOU, I HAVE FINISHED THE LABEL. 25 RELEASES IN 6 YEARS IS ENOUGH.
