Post CommentSad. It was a good label. For people who do the majority of their record shopping in the dollar bin.
"It's been a wild ride from operating out of the bedroom of my old house to two huge storage units to the final spot in my current basement." So, you started in the bedroom and, 14 years alter, ended in the basement. Hell of a career.
Solid label and bands with solid bands. This place sucks.

Solid exit from a solid world of solid bands and solid labels where really solid mindsets and solid foundations paved the way on a solid road for crews to solidify their chokehold in a solid scene where just genuinely good people were found being solid especially when xpowerliftingx become solidified as a solid pastime for a music scene built around shitty music, terrible people, low life scum and fighting. Sounds like a solid time.
90s dude fails to read the market of the 2010s, has all his bands get snaked by Relapse, and is stuck with a ton of dead stock forever. Tankcrimes is next.
God I hope so. Tankcrimes is hipster dogshit.
