Juicebox Recording Co. is Go

By Sam Sutherland • Dec 19th, 2008 • Category: Juiceblog

In an attempt to get the music we love in this city heard by more people, we have started a record label. Except we are cheap and poor, which, coupled with our youthful technological resourcefulness, means it’s an online-only, donation-based record label. It’s called Juicebox Recording Co. What’s up.
Our first release is a compilation of [...]

What’s Worst Mondays without a dark and villainous foil? That’s the kind of thinking that forced us to create Best Fridays. So, for all our weekend warrior brethren: Wooooo, T-G-I-F, right? Herein we hope to bookend your awful week by quizzing our previous Worst Mondays candidate about slightly more encouraging things. Every Friday!

REVIEW: Foo Fighters / Against Me! / HiFi Handgrenades - Live in Toronto, March 22, 2008
