15 Great Labels That Are No Longer With Us, Who Wo

[kouka]

Tree was great for sure. What bands did Repercussion and Allied put out?

Repercussion: Indian Summer, Assfactor 4, Shroomunion

Allied: J Church, Friction, Fuel, a HWM 7", some cool comps with Spoke and Radon, and of course the Jawbreaker live LP.

[kurtz]

I thought 15 was a lot to come up with at first, but it was actually rather easy. Lots of good labels no longer active.

Witching Hour

Life Sentence

Bovine

Slap A Ham

Dangerhouse

Bloodlink

Ebullition

Touch & Go

Level Plane

Mutha

X-Claim

Repercussion

Initial

Council

Crank

[dynamitekid]

Very Small

Shredder

Slap a Ham

Old Glory

Vermiform

Underdog

Lookout (they are dead to me now)

Selfless (is this label no more now?)

[adamlikesmusic]

springman records

Didn't Springman morph into Silver Sprocket?

[jailhouse]

We are actually working on adding a bunch of Lookout Records LPs that are lying around so keep an eye out for those over the next few days

Also they are working on a new site so who knows

Anyone who would work with Chris Applegren, or hasn't pulled their masters from that label is an idiot. They still put up a couple Crux records on I tunes every few months, until I contact their digital distro and notify them that they are stealing content that no longer belongs to them.

If they come back, I sincerelly hope it is a tremendous failure.

The days of Larry Livermore running a legit, awesome label with some great bands and a fantastic legacy behind it ended when it was sold to Chris. I wish nothing but the worst for the new "lookout records" until they settle up with bands that they have owed thousands, or more dollars to, I think it would be best for them to remain an anonymous outdated website.

[xlovecolouredx]

lookout (greenday early age)

exit/ wreck-age (most of indecision works)

trustkill (most of before 2005 albums are so good)

moonska nyc (the toasters for example)

i'm not sure indecision records, nitro and 1917 are still active or not....

[bill]

Creation Records before the third Oasis album.

Is Jade Tree still a label? If they are not then add them to the list.

[astonbosstuneage]

Early Lookout! And Cruz records pretty much defined what i tried to do with Boss Tuneage in the early days as well as these awesome long gone UK labels

Meantime

Full Circle

Words Of Warning

Vinyl Solution / Decoy

[timpopkid]

Rugger Bugger

Snuffy Smile

I miss those 2 more than anything.

[suburbanargyle]

Rugger Bugger

Snuffy Smile

I miss those 2 more than anything.

Does Snuffy Smile not exist anymore? I never knew what the deal was with that label, I just bought their records out of distros whenever I saw them.

[killyourfase]

A handful of these labels still totally exist, just not so active. Vermiform, Dangerhouse and Slap A Ham were crucial, glad a couple people are hip to them. Still some back catalog that needs to be (and will be) reissued from those labels. Some other good mentions too.

[jpietrafesa]

dreamworks records; at the end of their run they had a decent lineup- too bad it got absorbed

[flood]

springman records

from what i gather they changed their name to get out of a shitty distribution deal... silver sprocket is springman for all intents and purposes... they even list all the same bands on their discog

[jhulud]

Initial Records

Slamdek

Self-Destruct

Fiddler

Immigrant Sun

Bacteria Sour

Man's Ruin

[suburbanargyle]

springman records

from what i gather they changed their name to get out of a shitty distribution deal... silver sprocket is springman for all intents and purposes... they even list all the same bands on their discog

Yeah...springmanrecords.com takes you to the Silver Sprocket page.

[One Hundred Fifty-Two]

Thick: Hanalei, The Bomb, The Methadones, The Tossers...

I think Nitro is still around, just not doing anything great.

[whenslunchrecords]

In Canada,

-Spawner Records (TIM, Complete)

-Hourglass Records (Belvedere, Downay, Deville, of no avail)

-Landspeed Records (Another Joe)

In America

- Lookout!

- Sessions

[pastepunk]

Yu mentioned Indecision and I couldn't agree more. They are more in the inactive status than totally done for, but their discography of hardcore releases from about 1994-2007 is pretty insane, especially during the 1999-2003 period with the youth crew revival in full-effect.

[suburbanargyle]

SST / Cruz

....at least I think they don't release anything anymore.

[aarondanger]

SST / Cruz

....at least I think they don't release anything anymore.

Yea and hopefully they keep it that way. Improv jazz CD's FTW
