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 wh

o 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.

How these guys are not the biggest thing out of KC right now just shows that either quality is not the determining factor of popularity, or that my taste in music is much better than the general population’s. Probably both.
