All copies of Drunk Dial 4 featuring are SOLD OUT! This release represented a huge step forward for the label. Both in how we put out records and how in many people started listening to and buying them. Drunk Dial owes a lot to Andrew/The Hound of Love and his multiple contributions to the catalogue. I’m stoked these all finally found homes. Cheers 🍻

Mark it. This week we begin working on our largest, most niche and impossibly foolish release to date. It may not come out for years, It may not even be legal to produce.

Our new comp has been out for a week! It’s hard to get anything seen/heard on Instagram these days, so we really appreciate those of you who have taken the time to listen to the tracks and support some of the participating bands. If you haven’t had a chance, check it all out on our Bandcamp.
Oh yeah. Sales of the album have already generated over $200 in donations for that’s awesome!

Our first donation to with proceeds from our “Fakes” compilation.

This album was so fun to make. I came up with a silly idea, had bands I like record music for the idea, then sold the silly idea to friends and strangers! How cool! Now that silly idea is generating money for a charity that is doing life and world changing work. Punk rules. Thank you supporters!

RELEASE DAY! FAKES - VOLUME TWO.
After a year in the making, we are proud to share our newest compilation of original recordings. This time we again had musicians across North America cover songs from bands that only existed in TV and movies.
The participating bands unanimously decided to donate digital sales and all album profits to .

The Innocence Project is a non-profit organization that works to exonerate the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reform the criminal justice system to prevent future injustices.

This record is the result of a lot of people’s volunteered time, so please take some time to listen, check out the artists and maybe even buy a copy.

We just uploaded this, the third single from our compilation “Fakes - Volume Two” out June 2nd. Matt K. Shrugg has been the designer for Drunk Dial since day one. I love everything he’s done for the label, but I’ll always be a fan of his music most of all. It’s always a thrill when we can drag him out of a hiatus to record a tune because the guy absolutely rips. Hear his whole cover of “Number One” originally by the fictional band The Rutles on our Bandcamp now.

Almost 5 years to the day of it’s release, Drunk Dial 2 is fully sold out. The band didn’t exist after this session. My ≈20 year friendship with Billy ended shortly after, too. The record exposed a lot of problems with Drunk Dial. There were plenty of reasons to quit. But the songs are GOOD and the whole experience made the label better/stronger/more focused. I’m not sure what Billy is up to, or the rest of the band for that matter, but I love them and owe them the next round.

It took two extra weeks and two digital distros, but our Steve Adamyk Band single is now properly uploaded to Spotify. Thanks for nothing

So did y'all get this reference??
Drunk Dial has had an incredible run of luck being able to work with talented artists and designers for each of our previous releases. When empowered me to brainstorm a concept and seek out an artist on my own, this loose homage and a name popped into my head immediately. did such a great job with our art last year that I was eager to work with him again. Zach took the challenge, photocopied his own copy of the kids album, ripped it up and made art! I think it's the 11th jewel in our crown. Thanks Zach, thanks to whoever did the original kids art!

Drunk Dial 11 with Steve Adamyk Band has arrived! As a long-time fanboy, being a part of his unrivaled discography is a huge honor. This single came about a little differently than our other volumes. Normally we'd set a studio date, buy the booze, and have the band intend to make a record. In this case, the only intention Steve and his bandmate David Forcier had was to drink some beer and hang out. Going into David's studio and busting out two spur-of-the-moment covers was totally spontaneous. The first organic Drunk Dial!? When Steve told me the story and shared the tracks with me, I knew I HAD TO release the record. So here it is. A cover of The Kids "Do You Wanna Know" and a cover from one of Steve's own old bands [Sedatives] called "Slip Away". Hope you enjoy it. Hope you buy it. Cheers!

While organizing some drawers last night, I came across a stack of artwork mock-ups for the first Drunk Dial release. There was a full year where the label existed solely in my head and on these beer-stained pages. I would eventually send pictures of the pages to Matt K. Shrugg who realized the design we've used ever since!

Nobody asked for it. Here are some of my favorite music things of 2022. Sorry to the equally amazing bands/albums I couldn’t remember while making this. Thank you to every band making great music during such a sh*tty, scary year.

I did an interview with last month. I am too self-loathing to read it myself. But if memory serves, I talk about COVID & Jay Reatard and then my head got caught in the middle of a closing drawbridge.

I think every review of our single mentioned how similar they sound to Marked Men and Radioactivity. Luckily, at least in my book, there’s no bigger compliment. Thanks again

I spent all weekend assembling Drunk Dial 10. To date, this will be our biggest signing, our largest pressing size, and the longest wait for records. It all came out great and the songs are incredible. I’m dying to share it all this second, but we need a few more weeks so it gets the kind of release day it deserves. Tl;dr - “big things coming”
