Manifest Destiny, baby!

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator54º 40' or Fight! is a free market recording venture run by Royce and Steve, the publishers of Copper Press. We operate in the hills and along the waterways of Northern Michigan, transmitting signals from deep within the cavernous confines of our fortified embankments. We are armed to the teeth, sonically speaking. The goal: Expansion; be it one set of ears at a time or hundreds captured at once in the live setting. Manifest Destiny, baby.Distributed swiftly by Redeye USA (North America and Europe) and Stiff Slack (Japan) to the four corners of the globe, and all the sharp and witty points nestled betwixt them. If you don't see our titles on the shelf, for the love of James K. Polk, please implore of your local retailer, "I implore of thee to stocketh the Fight!" They will soon stock us, lest they be on the wrong side of history. We thank you for your support.
