Weekly Label Profile: Salinas Records

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Uncle Critic

Name: Salinas Records
Lifespan: 2003-Curent
Web Site: http://www.salinasrecords.com
Notable Releases/Bands: Thousandaires, Delay, The Measure [sa], Unwelcome Guests, Potboiler, The Ergs!, One Reason, North Lincoln
Info:
Salinas Records is a punk record label that’s been around for a little while. When I say punk label I don’t mean you can buy the newest Casualties album from them, but instead you’ll find something much better. They go more the indie/pop punk route of things, just over twenty five releases and most of them are pretty damn quality. They do a fair amount of splits along with EP’s as well as some full lengths, one way or another you’ll get your money’s worth out of them. If you’ve got a record in your hand you haven’t heard before and see the Salinas name on it, there’s a fair chance that you’re getting something good out of it.

Info:
Art of the Underground is a label that if you don’t know you probably should. They put out a ton of pop punk but don’t just limit themselves to that. They’ve been putting out great records for years but are probably most known for their Single Series. This has been running for years and has close to 50 volumes. It will take one band, put out a single (2 songs), these are mostly done with a limited pressing of 250-350 copies.
