about

When Stefan asked me to do a 7” record for his label I said “Yes” immediately. I wasn’t quite sure what it would entail at first but as I started thinking about it, there seemed like only one way to go. When I was around 13, I found punk rock and soon began scanning the MRR ad section for new music. I loved that all these bands I hadn’t heard of were putting out 7” records with 2, 3, 4 or sometimes up to TEN songs or more. In a way these were a cheap way to get into a band but they also stood on their own as statements. 4 exclusive songs only available on these releases. A lot of bands would also use this opportunity to record cover songs. I can’t tell you how many great bands I got into because someone covered them on the b side of a 7”. One label that really made this format for me was Mutant Pop from Corvallis OR. For a while, every record they release perfected the idea of the 3-4 song standalone EP. This record is a tribute to both the format and the music that got me here. A love letter to pop punk.
