Rum Bar Records From a different age, almost. Wholesome on the outside, but strip it back and very often it is not as it appears on the surface.

"Write this down: Rum Bar Records is turning into the one of the absolute best labels for real rock & roll these days."
-- the legendary Bill Kelly, Bill Kelly's Blackhole Bandstand SiriusXm ch21 LSUG "Rum Bar has long been the home of underrated, under-the-radar garage-rock and power-pop." - Jim Testa, Jersey Beat

“Once again you make me see how fabulous your taste is in rock….”
– Genya Ravan

, Goldie's Garage

"There’s also the usual lengthy section devoted to new music from Rum Bar Records. How does Lou keep finding these great new bands?" - The Ledge, Real Punk Radio

"The trustworthy garage/power-pop label Rum Bar that’s a gonzo hybrid of Seventies bar band trash rock and down ‘n’ dirty punk." - Off-Shelf

"Lou always putting out the good stuff, always 100% killer zero percent filler." - Tommy Unit Live, Real Punk Radio

"I dont even know how the dream maker gets it all done, I guess thats why he's the dream maker :)" - Luke Metz, Shanda & the Howlers

"What an unbelievable trove of riches arrived today, many thanks Lou and viva Rum Bar!!!!" - Mike Orr, loyal fan & customer

"I would have replied sooner but I've been listening to the greatest selection of tunes since Edison invented the CD player!! Specifically, the Rum Bar Roster." - Michael Seghini, long standing fan & customer

"The sort of music that Malibu Lou (the landlord at the Rum Bar) deals in is actually, broadly speaking, clear from the cover. But whether its is power pop, punk, Americana, surf rock and all the other things they do, you know the bands are into it as much as the label." - Maximum Volume Music
