We Shot J.R. Records
Yeah, we know it's been a little quiet around here lately, ok? We haven't been doing all the record reviews, live reviews and feature articles that we've wanted to over the past couple of months, but we've had a good reason-- today, we'd like to announce the formation of We Shot J.R. Records.After almost three years of thinking, writing about and experiencing local music, we felt the time was ripe for us to get a little more directly involved in supporting some of our favorite local groups, and the idea of We Shot J.R. Records was born in that spirit. We wanted to create a small, locally based label that would showcase some of the music in the area that we feel should be heard elsewhere, and thanks to all the excellent new bands that have emerged around here over the past year, the task of assembling a quality roster was rather easy.
We Shot J.R. Records will focus mainly, though not exclusively, on releasing the music of local artists via limited edition vinyl pressings, sort of a boutique label that will highlight what we believe to be some of the best the area has to offer. Here is a list of the first three records we will be releasing:
Fight Bite-- "Swiss Ex Lover"/"Spring Rain (radio edit)" on 7 inch vinyl
Darktown Strutters-- 12 inch vinyl single, title to be announced soon
Orange Coax/Girlfren-- 7 inch split
Of course, we will not be offering "reviews" of the records we release, and if you have any question about our objectivity regarding the bands we work with, then you must be dumb because record reviews are never objective anyway. Duh.
In any event, you can go here to check out the records and purchase one via Pay Pal. We'll have a link to the label site on the top of the sidebar very soon, and although only Fight Bite's 7 inch is available for purchase at the moment, the other two records will see release some time very soon, and we'll update you to let you know when they are ready.

Oh, and here's another little bonus for you-- this Friday, November 7th, please join us for the We Shot J.R. Records Kick Off Party at Time Bandits Vintage in Denton, featuring performances by:
First band at 9pm. Free show. Free Beer. And we'll also have Fight Bite 7 inches available for sale. If you can fight the urge to go see Trail of Interpol at the Halliburton.Com Rockers Garage Lounge or whatever, we'll see you there! And now that we're done launching this label, expect to start seeing a lot more regular feature articles once again. Thanks.

Awesome news guys. I wish you all the best of luck.
Will you be thinking about releasing these digitally as well?
the only people who don't like this blog are people in shitty bands, or people who "write" for the observer.
I don't like this blog and my band is awesome.
it always seems that the people who don't know how to use a computer are the ones most likely to dislike this blog...... "what....is....this....can't....understand....must....hit....refresh...must...look...at...fingers...while...typing....eyes....growing fogged....so sleepy..... must.....watch.....matlock"!
HEY, MATLOCK MONDAYS!!!

The internet called, they're running out of ellipsis.

Love you!

The rampant homophobia so often found in your comments section would be disturbing if it wasn't so obviously written by pre-teen kids. cacateeteepoopoo.

Lawyers have money. And if they think they are better than you then you are screwed.
Big Announcement: People running Weshotjr.com dumber than previously thought.
Best of luck SR
i'd like to announce not caring about this news
whats the address of time bandits?
Does WSJR still hide their identities? How the hell is that supposed to work?
time bandits is on the square, between the wine shop and my favorite major-appliance show-room.
come round back.
big announcement rulez
thats what she said
how bout a fulltime we shot jr music venue and some we shot jr panties to go with it too? that be awsome.
I wish vinyl would fit in my PARTY SCRAPBOOK
interpol of the dead...
at 6:02: i was totally kidding. i'm glad we shot jr. is doing this. i'm really, really excited for that split with orange coax and girlfren.
girlfren fucking straight up sucks. i can't fucking believe that some shit-tard band like (bleccch) "girlfren" made the "cut" but a great band like 'street hassle' didn't.
when will these goddammnnn riot grrrrrls die of overrrrrdoses already?
Meet me at Fuel City.
hard drgzzzzzz,
hey what's a riot grrl? I don't think you know. Just because a woman screams in a band, doesn't make it riot grrl. that's like saying there's such thing as "grunge."
I like street hassle, but they are pretty much a straight-ahead 60's inspired group. okay, all well and fine, but...it doesn't tend to cause great reaction.
your reaction alone is probably why girlfren "made the cut." that's my guess. but you know what, it's not middle school football, you fucking moron.
you're right. this shitty band isn't good enough to be lumped into a genre.
matriarchy come
funny you mention kyle, cuz the night game cult should be on this label n shit. fo realzz
