This super-DIY Washington D.C. label releases powerful, innovative post-punk that challenges both the ears and the intellect.
Bald Rapunzel
Conscientious post-punk! This quartet with an attitude is more concerned with the state of the world than their egos. At the same time, their music and lyrics are intensely personal. Whether you want worldviews, innermost thoughts, or just great music, this band will give you what you're looking for.
The Better Automatic
The Better Automatic is a group of four-track alchemists who write catchy lo-fi indie pop gems that will stick in your head for days.
El Guapo
Another outstanding band from the fertile Washington, DC independent music scene, but this one's a little different from any you've heard before. El Guapo mines the great punk tradition of the nation's capital as well as the revelatory musical experiments of avant-garde jazz composers like Anthony Braxton and Albert Ayler to produce indescribably strange and wonderful collisions of sounds.
Grendel
From the classic DC music scene. Grendel takes a tad of Fugazi and melds it with a funky Latin flavor to create an interesting form of quirky indie punk.
Land Speed Record
Straight outta Baltimore, Land Speed Record is ready to rock. Powerful, catchy, and masterfully crafted, this album combines post-punk power and a bit of funky funk.
