Online Distribution
PACIFICTION RECORDS works with numerous indie labels in cities as far reaching as NY, Chicago, Austin, Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Seoul, Taipei and Taichung as well as many unsigned artists to make a variety of merchandise available to you online and by mail order. We are also always looking for indie stores and record shops interested in carrying our items in your neighborhood.
Booking and Tour Support
In order to give more exposure to relatively unknown bands and musicians, PACIFICTION RECORDS often helps book shows and festivals, promotes live events and makes arrangements with press and radio. We have organized NY tours for Tokyo bands FLIGHT OF IDEA and FALSIES ON HEAT, and also arranged for HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT to play the FORMOZ FESTIVAL in Taiwan and the PACIFIC MEDIA EXPO in L.A.

We also got one of Taiwan's favorite taike punk bands the wild CHILDREN SUCKER as well as the Japanese/Taiwanese psychobilly, rockabilly and surf combo FULLHOUSE. Several expat punk outfits such as CONSIDER THE MEEK and THE DEPORTED make appearances on a split CD and anti-materialist SELLING US EVERYTHING brave the saccharine Asian pop culture with their new full length album Product Jingles. And it's all coming off a tiny pirate island in the Pacific!
Pacifiction Records also carries many of the experimental, instrumental and shogazer post-rock CDs found on Taiwan. Check the link below for great bands like NIPPLES, 8MM SKY, SELF KILL, ORANGEGRASS, SUGAR PLUM FERRY and APHASIA!
Taiwan has recently become well-known for its Indie Pop scene full of young female musicians making simple and sincere melodies. For your listening pleasure, BRACES, DOLLY'S PILLBOX, RADIO BEAR, BAD DAUGHTER and NYLAS are available on Pacifiction Records.
