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.

Kansas is seen simply as a fly-over state to most people. Certainly not the grounds of a postpunk scene, but two Wichita State English Department faculty members are aiming to change that mindset, one page at a time. “No Choice but Action: The Kansas Postpunk Revolution” will feature the stories...
