We are not a label in the traditional sense. We are a collective of artists, musicians, and fans working together to achieve common goals. We place a high emphasis on community-based efforts. We are 100% independent. 

We are a small, artist-run record label/collective. Our goal is to develop a music forum for independent bands, artists, fans, and promoters. We believe in sharing resources for unsigned bands and artists. Our objectives are to promote local and regional artists, to enable artists to produce, release, and distribute their own CDs, and to research and develop new media opportunities. We place an historic value on the work of local independent artists; one of our basic purposes has always been to help document the music around us and provide an outlet for such music. We hope to provide resources that enable artists to keep their CDs available and in print. We also hope that our community efforts will build an awareness of this music with new fans and create a self-sufficient scene.

If you are an independent artist or unsigned band from the MD/VA/WV Tri-State area and would like to get connected, join the Forum! This is also open to artists from anywhere else in the Mid-Atlantic region (PA, the greater Baltimore/Washington, DC/Metro area, etc.) Many of the resources contained herein are available nationally, so you can benefit even if you are located in other states or regions. If you are an artist, promoter, or manager, this is the place to find resources for research and development. If you are a music journalist, advertiser, or radio programmer, this is the place to find new music and contact artists!
