It comes with a bittersweet attitude that one of the most beloved independent record labels that help foster some of the greatest punk rock bands of my youth has taken it's final bow.
Despite the label's refusal to give royalties to bands for their former records, which became their downfall, they have helped create an age.

Because of them, these bands started:
Alkaline Trio
Avail
Born Against
The Criminals
The Donnas
Green Day
The Lookouts
Operation Ivy
Pinhead Gunpowder
Pretty Girls Make Graves
And of course.....Rancid

Lookout......Your assholes.........but you will be remembered for what you began.
