Ugly Pop Records 1998 - 2005 RIP

Jul 19, 2005 10:47

I guess this has been decided for a couple of weeks now, but just to make it official, Ugly Pop is (nearly) over. After 17 releases, nearly 30 000 records sold and more hassle, debt, strained friendships, broken deadlines, messy desktops, computer screen-induced headaches, coloured vinyl mishaps, reversed labels, unsold trade records, missing ( Read more... )

That sucks, you're label had a good run though.

Damn it Simon - I'm sad to hear this but I understand why it's happened. It's also good to know that you guys did it at a time that Ugly Pop was one of the only labels in Canada (and indeed the world) worth looking at. Now there's half a dozen labels that are putting out consistantly good hardcore... so at least you aren't leaving a void to be filled.

Craig--

I'm living so hand-to-mouth right now that I can't send anything until payday on Friday, but they've been packaged up forever-- just never have the extra cash to spare for mail, although that's FINALLY looking up now. Sorry about the wait.

As for another label, it's already underway, but no hardcore now.

Its better to have loved than to have never loved at all.
Just like doing your label.

Yeah, I suppose-- but "I got a new girl now", haha.
