About Me

Founded in Akron, Ohio in 2005 by Dan Doverspike to release records for his band First Offense, book and promote shows in the Akron area, and publish the zine "Echoes in the Street." Recently we have decided to expand the label and released the 19 band compilation "They Can't Shut Us Up." In the upcoming year we will be releasing a new full-length CD from First Offense and the debut album from Lafayette, Indiana's The Bastards Choir. In addition to these releases we plan to search out new talent and compile a follow-up to the "They Can't Shut Us Up" compilation. Along with the label we will continue our commitment to bringing great punk rock bands to the Rubber City.
