Labels
These are labels that have given us permission to do something with their music. What they have allowed varies. To see a more in-depth look at the labels (mostly just for Shawn and I) download the following PDF file:

My favorite label, not only because they have allowed me to do pretty much whatever I asked for, but the music they put out rocks. They are owned by the band Anti-Flag. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
The first label to give me permission. Them giving me permission saved this whole thing. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Owned by Mike Park of Skankin Pickle, they give me with a seemingly endless supply of music. They are Shawn's favorite record label. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Despite their forgetfulness (I'm looking at you, Tony) they kick-ass and are definitely one of the friendlier labels that we have the privilege of working with. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Not much to say, nice label. They supported me in a copyright claim that WMG made on two Circle Jerks songs (which they back down from). They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music to podcast.
My contact for No Idea, Tony, works for them as well. Thank the atheist god I didn't have to email another label! They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.

Awesome label. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
A quite famous label in the DC scene, located right outside my door. This label was run by Skip Groff, the owner of Yesterday and Today Records, and released some epic albums as well as doing a split release of a Minor Threat album. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
At first an employee denied our request to use their music on youtube, and ignored our request for the podcast. After we interviewed label owner Ian Mackaye, however, he allowed us to use their music in podcasts. They're a legendary DC label started by The Teen Idles, and would later host Minor Threat, Fugazi, The Evens, and many bands that Ian didn't sing for :) They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Great label. They've been very supportive of us, and have some great bands. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
They have some amazing bands, including The Toasters and The Flatliners. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Very supportive label who said to me, "You can do whatever you want with anything we've released! Unless its something really messed up im not gonna complain." Ya just gotta love a label like that! They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Tony from No Idea gave me Less Than Jake's drummer, Vinnie's, email to get an interview set up. Didn't work out, but I got talking with him about his labels. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.

It definitely pays to interview bands associated with labels. The Bouncing Souls own Chunksaah. Kate is great and has been very supportive. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Owned by Joey Shithead of DOA. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
These guys need to stop making logos for their label. Took me a while to pick one. Shame on you for making me work, GC! Anyway, the actual name for them is Geykido Comet Records. They're a pretty small indie label, I found out about them from Intro5pect. They're the third label to offer to send us songs/albums and the first to actually do it (We turned down Suburban Home cuz I already had the album and Punk Core was out of promo packages). They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Owned by Chris and Hannah of Ghost Mice. Good folk punk label. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Some ska and crack rock steady. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
One of the biggest indie labels in London, and former home to The King Blues. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Feminist label based in Portland, Oregon. Home to Bikini KIll and many others. Also, once released a Nirvana song. They exchanged a few harsh words with Fat Mike back in the day, although I'm not sure of their current relationship. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
This was one of the most exciting labels we've gotten permission from in a long time. Owned by Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, they've released everything from Howard Zinn spoken words to Leftover Crack's Fuck World Trade. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
This label is not "owned" by Propoghandi. Owning industries is capitalist, and if the black flag didn't give you a clue, these guys are most certainly not capitalists. They've co-released almost all of Propoghandi's albums, along with many other bands. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
They're released everything. I'm super cereal. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
One of the more enthusiastic labels we serve. MORE SKANKIN PICKLE. YEA-UH! They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Some ska, punk, hardcore and A WILLHELM FUCKIN SCREAM! Yeah, I kind of like AWS. Using the transitive property, I realized that I liked Jump Start, too. Shit, I need to sleep. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
I learned about this label because they released The Brigg's first record. Cool. Then they sent me 5 CDs. Super-cool. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Previously Springman Records, they have released bands like Andrew Jackson Jihad and Bid D And The Kid's Table. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
It may not have as many of the greats as Punk Core, but these guys are NOT fooling around when it comes to street punk and oi. ANTiSEEN, Lower Class Brats, and Cock Sparrer are just some of the huge bands on here. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
These guys have some legendary bands like Choking Victim and INDK, as well as many great smaller bands. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Great small label. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
It's odd how unknown this label is. They have put out amazing releases by bands like: The Gaslight Anthem, Fake Problems, and Against Me! but still most people ask "who?" when I mention them. Well, we're thankful to have their support. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Well, wow. It took these guys enough times to respond (we must've myspace'd em at least 10 times) but finally we got them. This label is run by Brad Logan (AKA Brad Minus) of the legendary F-Minus. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Shawn recommended these guys to me. I love them because they allow free download of all their records. And their records are actually pretty good! They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
VIVA LA METRO!!! They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Molotov Compromise, The Infested, and My Own Religion. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
I'm surprised this name wasn't taken. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Title Fight, Crime In Stereo, Fireworks. That is all. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Their logo is simple. I like it. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Okay, so we don't technically have a deal with them. But, if we want to use a song or two for the podcast, we hit them up and they usually give us the okay. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.

They've got some good bands. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
These guys have released some titles by some pretty prominent bands. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
THEY'RE FUCKING DERANGED! AHHHH! AHHH! (This is what happens when you've been editing the labels section for several hours in a row). They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
I saw Shot Baker opening for Street Dogs once. It was totally bad-ass. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Pop-punk has become so insanely horrible these past few years. It's a fact. But what they say is true. It's Alive is taking back pop-punk for the underground one record at a time. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
I hear The Dopamines are good. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
I contacted this band because I saw they had O Pioneers!!!, who I personally don't like, but a lot of people do. They're cool peeps. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
I recently had an Andrew Jackson Jihad obsession, which led me to these guys. They put out their split with Apocalypse Meow. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Franz Nicolay and The Swellers. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Lotta bands. Citizen Fish, The Tossers, The Methadones, and The Blue Meanies. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
When I saw Animal Collective, I knew we had to have this label. I am not a fan, but I can see the impact they made on the Baltimore scene. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
I cannot honestly remember why I emailed these guys, but I'm glad I did. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
It's good to see that Baltimore still has good, active labels. Ruiner is undoubtably awesome. I believe they tie with Street Dogs for bands I've seen most. And since getting Bridge 9 is a distant dream, and I since I must have some fucking Ruiner, Firestarter was an essential. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Their logo reminds me of a bowling alley. Don't ask why. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
I usually only email labels with at least 1 band I've heard of. Otherwise, I'd be emailing all day. But, for some reason, these guys drew me in to them without that requirement. And they have a good deal on CDs, so I'll probably know some of their bands soon. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
Grey Flight Records, incase you don't know the logo. I have a friend that likes Fear Before The March Of The Flames, and another that likes The Cardinal Sin, so I asked them for permission. They were nice enough to accept. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
They released Comeback Kid's first album. That was enough for me. They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
Andrew Jackson Jihad, Ghost Mice, Off With Their Heads, and The Copyrights. What more could one want? They allow me to: put up music to podcast.
I'm pretty sure that every band that got me into punk has released something on this label. Really, these guys need no introduction and I will not dishonor them with one. They allow me to: put up half the album onto youtube, put up music videos to youtube, put up music to podcast.
