There are many things that we appreciate about Canada. Something we stumbled upon recently is that they drink milk out of a bag. Seriously. But there must be something within their pop culture that cultivates true talent, because the list of great artists is vast. (Perhaps, it’s their country’s dedication and financial support of the arts?) For example, Canada has given us Rick Moranis, Carrie Ann Moss, and a Prime Minister who knows what equality looks like plus, the bands! Just on our label alone, we’ve had the privilege of releasing records from Propagandhi, The Flatliners, Chixdiggit!, and The Real...
When you attend a Me First and the Gimme Gimmes show, there is one thing we expect from you: to sing along!

Out May 26th, Hi-Vis High Tea, is the band’s first new material since 2011’s resurgent Smoko at the Pet Food Factory. Recorded once again by Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) and Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room, Hi-Vis High Tea, features 20 songs in just over 30 frenetic minutes. Since we’re decent, thoughtful Frenzal fans just like...
Well, 2015 has come and gone, and we still need…roads. Also, time machines still aren’t a thing! However, our ongoing Original Demos Series allows you to travel back in time …back to when some of your favorite bands recorded demos of some of their best songs.
