Bancroft Records

About Me

A REAL rock-n-roll record label based in a town that doesn't even seem to like rock-n-roll. Started in 2002 Bancroft has released records (as in vinyl...most the locals still have a hard time understanding that concept too) by the Mystery Girls, the Tears, the Real Losers, the Catholic Boys, Jack "Oblivian" Yarber & the Tennessee Tearjerkers, Black Time and the Goodnight Loving. Coming soon a 3song 7inch ep from the Flips. We're also the jokers behind Smashin' Transistors zine, an accomplice in the only good dj nights for miles around and occasionally bring a band though this town too.
