(Scott Harmless calls this my MANIFESTO)
This label is about supporting bands who I feel the world needs to hear.
I run this label because I believe in these bands.
Not all of my bands can tour because hey, that's fucking reality.
The few that can, do as much as they possibly are able to do.
This label is run by one person out of their apartment.
This label is not run off of a trust fund.
This label is financially funded through Union Wages and Union Labor.
^^I have a desk job now...so uhm, does that change things?
This label, like ALL small labels, is financially funded by you.
Do I accept demos? Yes.(but........)
(.......But I'm telling you right now) I won't put out your record. period. I'm eyeball deep in debt as it is and I always have some secret things in the works. So any new projects are totally out of the question.
... BUT! if you do decide to send me something anyway...don't just send a cdr and absolutely no other information about your band. Even if it's a hand written letter...tell me something about your band.

If you have a specific store, distro OR you run a distro and would like to carry some of my releases, they can order records at wholesale prices from me, just send me an email at undergroundcommunique@gmail.com and we can work something out.
Also: please try to support the mom and pop/indie record stores as much as possible before you give you money to a corporate store!

It was an honor beyond all others that I was lucky enough to get to release one, let alone two J Church 7" records. Thankfully because Lance was such a prolific songwriter, there is a wealth of his music out there waiting to be discovered. Do yourself a favor and make a worthwhile journey down that road.
Thanks for everything Lance, we all really miss you.

Discography:
I have made a google doc that I will keep updated as much as possible with all the pressing info that I can remember for older releases and keep it as up to date as possible for all future releases:

NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!_____ NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!_____NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!_____ NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!_____ NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!_____ NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!_____ NEW RELEASE - OUT NOW!

the Methadones "Exit 17 / I believe" 7"
Brand new 2 song 7"(only the bands second 7" ever) from the Methadones from Chicago. This single includes a new song called "Exit 17" and a re-recorded and superior full band version of the song "I believe" that originally appeared as an acoustic version on their last full length "This Won't Hurt" on Red Scare.

the Methadones / the Copyrights split LP
12 songs / 6 songs each from two of the best pop punk bands from Illinois today! Methadones bring more of their patented power-pop infused pop-punk that you love, these songs have a slight retro-y classic power pop feel to them too, pretty neat! ...and the Copyrights bring 5 new anthems of hating jobs and struggling down the road less traveled and a cover of a one-hit wonder song that you'll recognize but won't know the name of the band that wrote it and it'll drive you nuts...just read the insert ;)
Co released with the mighty It's Alive Records

Explode and Make Up-6 songs (one sided) 12" EP
Debut official release for this Chicago hardcore band, over 2 years in the works. The band fell apart for a while then have recently re-grouped and are rearing to go...so we're teaming up to get this out. The band features current members of Four Star Alarm, the Bomb, the Methadones / ex the Story So Far, Tomorrow's Gone & 88 Fingers Louie.

Shot Baker / Serf Combat-Chicago vs. London split 7"
the title says it all, a Chicago band vs. a London, England band. both bands bring a new original and a cover song from a favorite band from the opposite bands city, Serf Combat bring a very unique and awesome take on a Bollweevils songs, and Shot Baker's cover is still up in the air... This record is going to be a co-release with Home of the Brave Records from London and in the spring Shot Baker and Serf Combat are going to do a UK tour together in support of it!

the Hallow / Love & Squalor "TBA" split CD (LP version coming soon!)
split LP / CD for these two Chicago Area punk rock bands that deserve a little more attention. They've both been kicking around in one form or another for a while now, and are both damn-hardworking bands. the Hallow are kind of reminiscent of Black Sails-era AFI & Love and Squalor kind of remind me of bands like Smoke or Fire or Small Brown Bike. These songs are the best material both of the band have released so far!!

UPCOMING RELEASES! UPCOMING RELEASES! UPCOMING RELEASES! UPCOMING RELEASES! UPCOMING RELEASES! UPCOMING RELEASES!

Ambition Mission "Discography/You Name It, We Hate It" CD or LP?
Not sure what we're gonna do with this...ideally all the songs in one package on 2 LPs, but maybe spread over 2 volumes separately...we'll see...kinda when I have the time/money to do it. One of the truly great punk rock bands from Chicago. They played a style akin to East Bay bands like Hickey, Crimpshrine or the Avengers but somehow made it all their own too. This is a REPRESSING of the very first Government Music release (my old record label). New art and lyrics!!! (pre This is My Fist, Fourth Rotor, Canadian Rifle & Chronic Seizure, 97 Shiki, among many other great bands the members have spent time in)!!
THE CD VERSION WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME AUDIO CD AS THE GOV'T MUSIC VERSION, NO BONUS TRACKS BECAUSE IT HAD EVERYTHING THEY EVER RECORDED!

the Methadones Not Economically Viable LP.
the Third Methadones album, a unique and amazing record...partially a concept record based on the movie Falling Down. They broke free a bit from the usual Ramones-core sound on this one and incorporated more of their power-pop influences that would be put on full display with the following record(their 21st Century Power Pop Riot cover song compilation, on Red Scare). For a lot of people this is their favorite Methadones album, because it's so different...but hindsight being 20/20 EVERY record they do is unique! The band is going to finish recording at least one song for a bonus track that they started to record during these sessions...which I think is pretty cool! the complete recording overhaul / re-mastering by Matt Allison at Atlas Studio in Chicago(recorded every band you like) should be ready soon!

the Bhopal Stiffs-1985-1989 LP+CD
Yes! One of the great Chicago punk rock bands from the 80's finally sees some re-issue magic on vinyl! This great band lasted only a few years but made some really amazing music in that time. Two members of this band, singer/guitarist Larry Damore and bassist Steve Saylors formed Pegboy not long after their break up. So if you're a fan of Pegboy, the Effigies or Naked Raygun...you'll definitely like this!!!! This will be all studio songs from the discography on vinyl, but it will come with a copy of the CD, that has all the LP tracks plus all the bonus live songs(some of which are unreleased/never properly recorded songs.
This one is going to take a while because we're going to update the artwork from the Harmless Records version and try to include as many old flyers, set lists, etc. as possible...make it as fun and informative as possible.

Channels Waiting For the Next End of the World / Open EP 2xLP
Details are still being worked out on this but the plan is this will be both the full length and first EP from this Baltimore / Washington DC area band. The EP was released by Desoto and the full length Dischord, neither on vinyl...until now. Classic DC style post punk played by "some very well respected hacks of the music industry"!
Check 'em out at: the Channels Myspace page!

the Romeros / Chivalries TBA split 7"
Two hardworking Chicago punk rock bands teaming up for a battle of biblical proportions! ...ok, not really, but they're two great bands from Chicago that you probably aren't familiar with, but should be! More info TBA

the Bhopal Stiffs "1985-1989" LP+CD
vinyl version of all the studio tracks on the discography that Harmless put out years ago...but with updated artwork and the CD with all the bonus live stuff that was kinda dodgy quality but included for posterity sake.

THS 7"
(it's a seeeecret!? but guess anyway!)

Explode and Make Up / Hellmouth split 7"
Detroit's positively fucking evil sounding black metal/hardcore band Hellmouth...(ex Suicide Machines singer if you care...y'know how ridiculously awesome it was when he'd scream in SM songs...yeah...it fuckin' like that). EAMU with the sophomore release... more old man melodic hardcore...this time driven to the point as they cover Husker Du's Crystal from New Day Rising! Both band deliver one exclusive original and one cover song! Rage!

Get Rad "What the Fuck Happened to Common Sense?!"
contender for the best release yet from these Milwaukee/Minneapolis dudes. This one is 8 songs and half parody/intro track that'll leave you thinking WWD4D?(the answer is of course Get Rad!)!! a one sied LP of about 16 minutes more of their raging, chaotic as fuck Minor Threat-ish hardcore. Stay Punk!
