About Me



Pool or Pond is a nomadic online label and distro currently based out of San Franciso, CA. Conceived during the late 90's Bellingham, WA heyday we started with hand made runs of cdrs that made us feel like a big fish in a small pond. After several years in Chicago learning the ropes of 'the biz,' we continue to take our time and help our friends with small, quality releases. In the spirit of Conrad Uno, we're staying small and having fun. A wide mix of artists have filtered through, some even linger, in Pool or Pond's online world and we're proud of 'em all. Here's the short list; Robert Blake, Lucas Hicks, Dave McGraw, Jordan Rain (Yogoman), Mike Davis & Mike Beevers, Wantage USA, M.A.S.A., OnPurpose, Megabrats, and The Home Recording Project.
