Iodine Recordings was an independent record label based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Iodine Recordings released punk, hardcore, and indie rock music. It was once home to bands such as Brand New, Orange Island, Smoke or Fire, There Were Wires, Gregor Samsa, and more.

They're back in action so I got Casey Iodine on the Skype and this is what we talk about:

• Putting out Brand New's first record
• Starting the label
• The MA scene
• Orange Island
• Napster
• Starting the label back up in a digital space
• His thoughts on labels taking a cut of a band's merch
• His thoughts on Garrison signing and then breaking up
• What he did after the label
• And a ton more
