About Me

Anti-Creative Records is a small independent label, dedicated to do-it-yourself ethics. We are based in Southern-California (in the town of Upland). Anti-Creative is not a label about making money, but rather helping bands and the music we love get released and helping our friends out.

Want to help us out? The best way to help us out is to support our releases and tell your friends! word of mouth is powerful. it's great to be able to put out new and wonderful music (and keep it really cheap), but the sad truth is that it is hard to keep releasing music if no one is buying it. capitalism sucks, but for now we're stuck with it. let's make the most of it before we find the strength to overcome it.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/16/2006
Band Website: anti-creative.com
Band Members: Defiance, Ohio // One Reason // Ghost Mice // Pretty Hot // Rio de la Muerte // Captain Chaos // and more...
Influences: Plan-it-X Records
Sounds Like:
One Reason/Defiance, Ohio Split 7" - $4
Defiance, Ohio contributes two songs, a new version of "A Song About Promises" from their demo, this time sung by BZ, and one completely new song titled "Sometimes Motion!" They recorded in Bloomington, IN with their friend Greg. One Reason contributes "Dirge for 95 & 10" and "Sorry, Irma Thomas" recorded at The Living Room with Chris George.

Pretty Hot/Ghost Mice Split CD - $5
five brand new songs by ghost mice, plus a cover of fifteen's "petroleum distillation." pretty hot are mind-blowinly good, and have evolved way past the demo cdr's you might have heard. pretty hot puts forth three redone songs from the demos and three all new ones that are so good you might go deaf. be careful.

Captain Chaos, "The Fool" CD - $5
“The Fool” is the fifth CD released by Captain Chaos. Heartfelt songs of love and heartache, friends and fun. Captain Chaos is the accoustic/folk-punk side project band of Chris Clavin from such bands as Ghost Mice, Operation: Cliff Clavin, The Devil is Electric, and more. If you like Ghost Mice, you’ll enjoy this album.

Operation: Cliff Clavin/The Max Levine Ensemble Split 7" - Sold Out
this record was released by 60 different people. it was an effort to express the co-op nature of the DIY scene and get everyone involved. It contained all new songs by each band, cool colored vinyl, a sticker and insert. this was a benefit for the BLOOMINGTON BIKE PROJECT. all profits (100%) go to them. Sorry, this album is no longer available through Anti-Creative. however, do some searching and you might find one of the other people who helped release it that still has copies.
Record Label: Anti-Creative Records
Type of Label: Indie
