Southern Empire Records (Path To Misery Out Now)

About Me

ModMySpace Profile Customizer

Southern Empire Records began in the summer of 2004 as part of the resistance. The commodification of the hardcore/punk scene is disconcerting to those of us who still see ourselves as dissidents, outsiders, rebels, or whatever romantic or pejorative term you choose. We did not begin this label because we needed to pay bills. We did not begin this label because we wanted to see our name in lights. We did not begin this label because there is a dearth of record labels. The label was born out of passion. The passion is music, life, politics, revolution, compassion. For those who still desire change, join us. For those who have fallen in line, step back out.

We would like to hear from anyone interested in working together on projects: bands, poets, writers, photographers, filmmakers, artists, dissidents, revolutionaries, etc. Sure, this is a "record label," but we don't want to limit ourselves to just releasing CDs or records. There are dozens of projects we'd like to be involved in and we know there are folks out there who we'd work well with.

So, let's use this corporate-controlled space to spread dissent. Don't just come to our page as a passive viewer and look at the projects we're working on; communicate with us and let's keep the discourse of dissatisfaction alive. Drop us a line, inform us about what you're doing; suggest ways that we can help each other; and let's use this space to begin a community that will collaboratively foster ideas and galvanize each other in action.

Straight Edge Soccer Scarves



Vegan Straight Edge Soccer Scarves


Just in time for winter, this versatile soccer hooligan scarf is perfect protection against freezing winds and for hiding your identity while fighting cops and fascists. Oh, and for all you football fans, now you can marry your pride in the vegan straight edge lifestyle with apparel from your favorite sport. "Vegan Straight Edge" on one side, "You'll Never Walk Alone" on the other (slogan generously donated from Liverpool FC and Celtic FC, respectively).
For a limited time, save $5 off the regular price of $20.00 ppd (USA/ Canada / Mexico) and $24.50 ppd (World).

Scarves are 100% Acrylic and approximately 7" x 54"
