Punkcore Records to stop releasing records

Posted by Jon E. on May 25, 2010

Punkcore Records has posted an update on their status as a label:

As many of you have noticed, we haven't released any new albums in over a year. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the status of Punk Core these days so here's the deal. For our 20th anniversary we've decided to put the label to rest and go back to where we started 20 years ago, as a mail order service. We're launching our new web store and bringing back the feature that we've missed the most....rare vinyl! Click on the banner above or the link to the left to check it out. Much of our back catalog of Punk Core releases are still available at Itunes or on CD or both. We may start releasing new albums again in the future, we may not. Time will tell. We've received your messages and once again we wish to thank everyone who has supported Punk Core over the last twenty years, past present and...future!

The label was responsible for a number of bands, including The Havoc, Cheap Sex, Defiance, Action, Blood Or Whiskey, Career Soldiers and The Casualties. The label was founded in 1989 by Dave Amcher and was one of the labels credited with reviving street punk in the early 90s.
