Justin runs Underground Communiqué Records, a rad record label that has released records from bands like Methadones, Break Anchor, Shot Baker and a ton more. We chat about his history putting together the label, what it’s like to be a one man label, and how the times have changed in the industry. Take a listen here: http://whoacast.com/2013/06/17/episo...ustin-schwier/

Ian is THE DIY dude in Chicago. His band,Voice of Addiction, has toured the US numerous times, and Ian has an interesting background, not so different from my own. He tells me his tricks for keeping it cheap on the road, the camaraderie of the punk scene, and we chat about everything from outdoor festivals to the state of rust belt. iTunes, Web -- Mizzi

Here’s the first show! Dan Vapid is my guest and we chatted about his metal roots and how it led to punk rock, his vast history of bands, and what’s going on with Dan Vapid and The Cheats. If you are in a band, go to the page to submit your band for inclusion in the show! http://whoacast.com/2013/06/03/episode-1-dan-vapid/ Thanks! -- Mizzi

We have announced the winners of the Whoa! Records Turntable Frenzy!!! Check them out at the link before... http://www.whoarecords.net/september-october-2012-subscriber-drive/ Thanks to everyone who entered!

Thanks for all the entries everyone! Still a few weeks left!

Sometimes two things that are amazing on their own come together through some twist of fate, and a legendary team is formed. Continuing the tradition of great collaborations, veteran Detroit (and Brooklyn) indie rockers Few and Far Between join Cruise Italy on a new 7″ split from Whoa! Records. The split is available for preorder now at the Whoa! Records store and features a new track from both bands. The record is a study in contrast. While Cruise Italy takes a carefully wrought, melodic approach on their track, Young Villains, Few and Far Between take a more aggressive tack. On one side, Few and Far Between’s track Left for Dead is a hawkish missive about trying to find the inspiration to break out of the routine of our workaday lives. Its anthemic choruses are made truly powerful with help from Jay Navarro (Suicide Machines/Break Anchor/Hellmouth) On the other side, Cruise Italy charts a more measured and poetic approach with their contribution to the record. The warm and somber tone of Young Villains weaves a tale of someone taking a leap and starting a new life. The contrasting tones of each track make for a perfect combination. This is a record you’re not going to want to miss out on. So, head over to the Whoa! Records store and order your copy of the Few and Far Between/Cruise Italy split. This is a limited edition release, only 500 copies will be pressed. If you would like to reserve your copy to pick up at the release show, and not be charged for shipping, please use the code PICKUP at checkout. Few and Far Between and Cruise Italy along with Old Mission, will play a release show Nov. 21 at Small’s in Hamtramck. Doors are at 8 p.m., tickets are $7, 18 and up are welcome. RSVP on Facebook.

Hey everyone, Whoa! Records (http://whoarecords.net) has just released three new vinyl releases. We have The Wanton Looks self-titled debut LP, a split 7" by About the Mess and Seized Up, and About the Mess's debut EP Anthem of Imperfection now released on vinyl. You can grab copies at http://store.whoarecords.net. We are new to doing vinyl, so please send any suggestions my way on how we can do things better! Thanks, Joe Whoa!

We are doing one more kickstarter for our vinyl push here at Whoa! Records. Again, we are trying to raise about half of what it will actually cost us to fund putting these records out on vinyl by offering pre-orders and other special incentives through kickstarter. You can get test pressings, limited colors, even be in a music video. The About the Mess debut EP Anthem of Imperfection will have a limited light green vinyl edition. You can find the kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themizzi/about-the-mess-anthem-of-imperfection-vinyl-releas Thanks everyone for checking this out!

Whoa! Records is finally doing something we have wanted to do for a long time, pressing vinyl editions of our records! We are a small, mostly punk label, run from Detroit and Chicago. To kick off the vinyl push, we are starting with our latest release, Never Let Her Go by P.T.'s Revenge. Because we are doing a number of releases, we are hoping to support the releases by raising about half of what it will cost us for each release. We are intending to do these right, and the records will all have a limited edition color, and EPs will be on 10" 45 rpm records, instead of smashing them into 7" records. Thanks to United Record Pressing, we are also able to offer test pressings for funding levels of $50 or more. Here is the link to the Kickstarter! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themizzi/pts-revenge-never-let-her-go-vinyl-release Thanks to everyone! Joe Mizzi Whoa! Records
