Everything Absent or Distorted Welcome to Needlepoint Records

First off, we're humbled to have received the honor of being selected as the "Best Record Label" in the 2007 'Best of Denver: Westword' edition. I was so surprised I didn't believe people when they told me about it. I had to drive into town and see it with my own eyes. 2007 is shaping up to be an interesting year for the "little label that could."

Upcoming in 2007

Cat-A-Tac: 'Past Lies and Former Lives' will be released on May 1st and go to radio across the Nation.
Thank God For Astronauts has also joined the collective and will release 'Bring Us Meat' this April 21st at the Hi-Dive.
Rabbit is a Sphere, who released 'Laps in the Sleep Saloon' in 2006 also won the 2007 Best of Denver award for "Best Art-Rock Album." R.I.A.S. will also send their LP to college radio for charts and adds on May 15th!!

Needlepoint Records is:

A communist organization dedicated to releasing records. A collective started to inspire ourselves and our friends to make better records and do more with them. Art should never be about competition. So we decided to start a collaboration between bands where everyone can help each other while helping themselves. The bands involved are all owners, operators, and financiers.
