As a label, you have to treat every group and every record as a unique entity. I think that that has been our success, rather than relying upon a fan base. ↗
People from major labels were afraid to go to Black Flag gigs throughout most of the band's existence. They treated our gigs as something threatening. I'm sure that it probably was. They probably had reasons to be scared. ↗
I've had many a player tell me all through high school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama, then they signed with somebody else. ↗
Putting out the things that I like best hasn't been the easiest way to run a label, and it still isn't because it requires finding an audience for each record. ↗
Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top. ↗
