Black Site

Black Site If we don’t hang together, we’ll surely hang alone. Only WE can create the world we want to live in.

Black Site is a record label cooperative created by Kansas City musicians interested in supporting regional punk and rock bands release their recordings on a physical medium. With the world around us becoming a deluge of digital 1’s and 0’s, transient as a trust fund crust punk on a cross country excursion, tangible art is critical to maintaining connections to our past, our sense of place, and who we are as a people. Reciprocity and solidarity are the cornerstones of building long lasting, self-sustaining community power that pushes back against the commodification of culture. Music is not a business; Punk is not a brand, and DIY is not a lifestyle to be consumed. This is a way of life, and if we don’t hang together, we’ll surely hang alone.

If you've been thinking to yourself, “Maybe i should pick up this new No Choice But Action comp and order the vinyl version of Truck Stop Love’s debut album” then today, Bandcamp Friday, Oct 2, is the day to order it! BC waives its cut and the artist gets all the monies (well, except for the gummint taxes and the bankers fees…:/).
