MA002.5 - Easel "Self Titled" 7" EP - Not actually a MA release, merely a distribution of the Alliance Trax release. 4 songs of Japanese pop-punk/hardcore hybridedness, including an acoustic version of a song from the Shook Ones split. 200 on black, 100 on red, 100 on gold, 100 on clear.

MA004 - Brownes Condition "Release The Dogs" CD - Current and former members of Shook Ones and Typical Ace. Debut full-length, filled with dynamic guitar riffery, mighty vocals, and just enough hookage to keep you wanting more. COMING MARCH 09.
MA005- Crossfox "Crossfox" CD- Powerhouse rock quartet dishes out some of the most solid rock music Washington State has to offer. This highly anticipated Full Length will leave you breathless and gasping for more. "Oh Yeah", it's that good. COMING MARCH 09.
