The label was started predominantly to release Takoma Star albums and related works from the members of the band.

RELEASESTakoma Star - To This Day E.P.
Original Release Date - July 1st 2007
The debut E.P. from Takoma Star was released in the Summer of 2007.
Heralded as a punk-pop tour de force, To This Day was the perfect introduction to the band.
Catchy, sing-along, mosh-pit friendly punk combined with melodies of pure pop. The reviews were even better than we had hoped for with this little self released E.P. and its still selling today.
"Six tracks full of rock genius... you'll be blown away 4/5" -Black Velvet Magazine
"Diverse, exciting and deserving of respect... this is superb" - Bubblegum Slut Fanzine
"the ultimate rock newcomer... original feelgood music" - Scarred For Life.de (Germany)
"Power rock, dabs of gentleness... gets better with every play" - Unpeeled.co.uk
Takoma Star - Stockholm Single
Original Release Date - December 1st 2008
Stockholm shows a harder, heavier side to Takoma Star with all the melodies and hooks you have come to expect from them.
The two B-Sides accompanying this single are taken from a Live performance at The Arts Centre, Colchester on the tour for their debut E.P. To This Day.
