Products Band sign to Solid Brass label, Minneapolis band FFO: Television, Wire, GBV, Mission of Burma

 


Los Angeles label Solid Brass Records proudly announces the signing of Products Band to their roster. The band is currently wrapping up work on a new album to be released in 2023. More details will be announced soon. 


Inspired by bands like Television, Wire, Pavement, and Guided By Voices, Products Band has been building up steam across the midwest since Jo, Alex, Konner and Jack started playing together in 2017. In true DIY fashion, they self-released both their 2018 EP On the Dotted Line and 2021’s full length Pink Puma as cassette only releases on their Bandcamp (definitely check those out). Throughout the pandemic they continued to write new music, refine their sound, and when the time was right they resumed playing shows—lots of them! 


Products Band has shared the stage with bands like Gang of Four, Stuck, Dehd, Water From Your Eyes, and Palm, and recently announced dates for their upcoming Spring 2023 Tour, in addition to a few dates with Deerhoof this summer. 


Follow the band for more details, spread the word, and stay tuned for more news coming soon!




About Solid Brass Records:

Solid Brass Records started in 2022 after a few friends from the 90’s DIY music scene reconnected over their shared appreciation for the community, people, and bands that influenced them 30 years prior. They decided to pool their collective knowledge and resources to start a label focused on reissuing music from that period as well as showcasing new bands similarly inspired by this scene. 

 

Jason Pearson lives in Los Angeles and runs the day-to-day operations of the label. He grew up in Richmond, VA and also lived in Cleveland and Chicago before spending 15+ years working in project management and customer operations roles for several tech companies in the SF/Bay Area.

 

Chuck Pettry lives in Los Angeles and spent the 90s and early 2000s in Oakland where he worked for Alternative Tentacles, the merchandise company Cinder Block, and ran his own label Sound On Sound. Currently he helps run Sandbag, a music merchandise company known for their work for some of the largest artists in the industry. He also plays in the metal band, Glaciers.

 

Justin Sinkovich lives in Chicago and is currently a Professor at Columbia College where he teaches students how to launch their own businesses. During the early dotcom era he co-founded, and sold, the music streaming site Epitonic. He also worked as the US label manager for Southern Records as well as Head of Digital at Touch and Go Records. In the 90s Justin played in Thumbnail and Atombombpocketknife. He currently plays in The Poison Arrows.
