jayteamanis Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Since a lot of people here have started their own record labels and whatnot, I figured I'd give it a shot, but also add merch and stuff and have it as the main focus. I'm working with a local hardcore band right now on getting their stuff recorded and produced, and once that's finished I'll be adding all of their stuff to my lineup. Right now I just have a few shirt designs that I had printed and spent seven hours yesterday folding and organizing, so if any of you guys want any "dope $w@g" (not really) check it out at the link below and use code "Idratherbuyvinyl" for 15% off. Redbeard Records, fellows. (My real plan is just to buy out every copy of JEW's Futures to screw with collectors.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayteamanis Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 yea, he change it because there was once a label called redbeard....its now defunct Oh. Welp, that's news to me, but as long as it's defunct, I'd imagine there shouldn't be much of a problem, since the focus right now is on clothing and stuff instead of solely on music.

jayteamanis Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 In good time, my friend. The main band I'm working with right now, all the members just have hectic work schedules, and conflicting with my own means that we don't have much time to get stuff done, unfortunately.

yocaseycasey Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I changed it to avoid confusion, and now there is a third Red Beard. This is all going to be so confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billya Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Didn't the former Redbeard have a bad reputation that went with the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayteamanis Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Huh. All of that's news to me, but it's kinda late to change everything now. Hopefully people don't get the two / three confused, even though I'm sure most will. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I seriously don't get this whole mentality of thinking a name is up for grabs since the previous person using it no longer is. There's a band out there now called Ride who think it's okay to use the name because the 80's shoegaze Ride are long broken up. Just because someone isn't using a property doesn't mean it's like a pair of pants at a thrift store that you now get a crack at. If some tshirts are all you have at this point, sell them off and change the name. Those aren't enough to merit the mentality that it's too late to change what you've got. Taking a moniker that has already been used to a decent extent just causes unnecessary confusion. Also, is this you? https://www.facebook.com/RedbeardRecords. - there's a logo buried further down on the page that looks almost identical to your avater.

steviex2shoes Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Wow, you do a google search and the first thing that comes up is what Kriss posted. Seems like a simple solution when starting up something, luckily it looks like you've got nothing branded with Redbeard on your Shirts, time to change the name.

jayteamanis Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 That's incredibly weird to me, because I searched through a few pages of google for it before I started it and couldn't find anything. Though Kriss, I do have to slightly disagree with you; there are many companies, bands, etc out there with similar, if not exactly the same names, and no trouble ever comes of it, unless they're actually mainstream enough to cause confusion. That being said, I will probably change the name of everything once these shirts are sold, so that gives you all motivation to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ill start a band called Led Zepplin since they aren't using it. I wanted to name my record company Flux Capacitor Records. Searching discogs we found that some defunct rap label had it and so now we are Jigawatt Records. Maybe it can be Redbeard 182? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 So do you not actually have to make records to be considered a record company? If so I am going to start so many record companies! trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
