Cutting Our Teeth. One of Europe's most important labels, Hassle Records, are our guests on Episode 94 of Sappenin' Podcast! As the record label celebrates its 15th year anniversary, founder Wez and project manager Mease join us for a chance to pick their brains about our favourite releases and a round table dissuasion about what really goes on behind the scenes. Hear about their involvement with bands like Alkaline Trio, We Are The Ocean, Frank Iero, Canterbury, Alexisonfire, Cancer Bats, Lonely The Brave, Casey, Four Year Strong and more to what life is really like as an independent label, industry secrets, advice for upcoming bands, signing Juliet And The Licks when everything started, why some of our favourite bands didn't quite make it, the evolution of steaming, PR, their current roster, what they look for in an artist, their celebratory 15x15 vinyl re-issues series, the future and a lot more including the ONE band that got away. Trust us, you'll be flabbergasted. This was super interesting to do, we learned a lot and it was really cool seeing how this aspect of the music actually works. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Turn it up and join Sean and Morgan to find out Sappenin' this week!
