HELLO, MY NAME IS SLUGGO. WELCOME TO MY UNDERGROUND PUNK 'N' ROLL LABEL. WE ARE BASED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA AND STARTED IN 2004. OUR MISSION IS TO PUT OUT ROCK THAT'S FROM THE HEART AND, WELL, ROCKS.
FOR SOME BACKGROUND, I HAVE OWNED/STARTED THE FOLLOWING LABELS; GAWDAWFUL RECORDS/BOSTON (c. 1985-1990 Did records for CHEATER SLICKS, STRAW DOGS, HULLABALOO.), HUNTERS MOON/SF (c. 1993-1997 Did records for AIN'T) ,DEAD TEENAGER RECORDS/SAN FRANCISCO (c. 1999-2003.Did records for DIRTY POWER, THE GRANNIES, ANGRY AMPUTEES, EVERYTHING MUST GO. PLEASE NOTE THAT I GAVE THIS LABEL AWAY IN 2003 TO MY ASSHOLE CORRUPT PARTNERS (Read: musicians ripping off other musicians) SO THAT I HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH IT AFTER 2003).
I HAVE BEEN A GUITARIST AND ORIGINAL MEMBER IN THE FOLLOWING BANDS; ODDLY ENOUGH/BOSTON (Second Wave Ska 1982-1985), HULLABALOO/BOSTON (Heavy Noise Rock 1986-1990), AIN'T/SF (Loud Rock ala GITS 1992-1998), & THE GRANNIES/SF (Garage /Punk'N'Roll 1999-Present)

BUT BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING;
As Wondertaker is a VERY small label, the chances of getting signed as a new artist from an unsolicited demo submission are less than minuscule. This is not to say that your music isn't good, or even great, or that we don't or won't like it. We like lots of music. We just don't release all of it. The record collection is full of records loved but not released. Because of time and financial constraints, we are only able to release 2-3 records a year on average. While we don't even have time to listen to all of the demo submissions or respond to all queries that we get, rumors of unearthing an unopened demo from an early version of TRIUMPH are greatly exaggerated. Barring a winning lottery ticket and a massive change in taste here, we are not interested in releasing rap, urban contemporary, lite jazz, teen pop, commercial alternative nu-metal, eighth wave ska, and other currently profitable genres, but if you have unreleased ANTON MAIDEN tapes from the 60's and 70's, of course we'd love to hear those. Again, when you do not hear back from us, don't take it personally. We don't hate you or your music. We're just very busy sweeping up the warehouse.
OK, YOU GET THE IDEA, BUT DON'T THAT STOP YOU FROM CHECKING US OUT. WE ONLY PEDDLE QUALITY ROCK. TO QUALITY FOLKS LIKE YOURSELF, OF COURSE! LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THANKS TO MY NEICE, SAWYER EDEN (AGE 4) FOR THE KILLER LOGO!!!!
