Palisade Records EXPLORE NEW MUSIC! Palisade Records founder Gary Schutt has been a struggling musician his whole life. Then Palisade Records officially was born.

The son of a professional Catskill NY area drummer, Gary started his musical journey on drums, then quickly picking up guitar, bass and piano. Saving his money for the first portable 4-track cassette recorder in 1985, Gary started to write and demo his own music in his parents basement. He had many albums worth of original material by the time he went off to Berklee College of Music in 1986. While

at Berklee, Gary continued to write, perform, record and learn all aspects of music theory, recording and business. He released a couple of cassettes in the local record stores (Sam Goody and Tower Records) as a solo artist under the label Shut Up Productions around 1990. Shut Up Productions would be the master business name to which all his other business names would fall under. By his third cassette release, it would be under Palisade Records, a subsidiary of Shut Up Productions. Shut Up Productions later became Gary's video/multimedia production company around 1999. The new label was named after his dream band, Palisade, which took place during his stay at Berklee, featured Gary's original music and existed in numerous lineups. Gary released a CD in 2006 called Gary Schutt's Palisade "Lost In Paradise", which featured newly recorded versions of songs that were written during the Berklee band's existence. Gary's first couple of official CD releases were on small indie metal labels, Zero Corp (Japan), Long Island Records (Germany) and Pulse Records (US). After a multitude of great reviews and poor sales, Gary found it hard to strike a new record deal. Enter the internet, CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon, Reverb Nation and a plethora of online resources that give any indie artist fantastic help. The domain sat for years with nothing but "Gary Schutt featured artist" and a link on the frontpage. In 2011, Gary moved all his domains to a different host which had a much greater palette from which to create a better website. After re-creating the new website, Gary had the idea of creating other artists, bands, in different genres, that were all still recorded and written Schutt original music. The ideas of Always At War (metal) and Skippy Wango (country) were the first to pop up. In the midst of writing songs for the debut Always At War album, the songs began to divide themselves. Six songs finished and three were the metal growl that he wanted for AAW and the other three were a little 80's hair band sounding, but heavier, and the lyrics were verging on comedy. The later group of songs were given to another unfinished project that Gary tried to start in the mid 2000's called The Metal Hedz. TMH were supposed to be an 80's hair band tribute band. Florida's version of L.A.'s Metal Skool, which became Steel Panther. Since Gary owned the domain for TMH, the band already existed in his head so instantly TMH had three songs for their debut album as well. The imaginary cover band instantly became a fictitious original band! In early December 2011, Gary announced the launch of the new Palisade Records domain with it's first three artists: Gary Schutt, Always At War and The Metal Hedz. At the time Gary's entire catalog of music can be heard and purchased from the site and the three song for each AAW and TMH can be previewed. Songs for fictitious country/blues guitarist Skippy Wango are in the works, and another new band called E19 (named after a popular practice room at Berklee) will feature more Palisade band era music. In the future Palisade Records will start to acquire OTHER artists and bands to enhance the labels repertoire! It's all the best music you haven't heard yet!
