From his college days booking artists like the Doors to his later career working with the Smiths and Pretenders at Sire Records, every chapter of Howie Klein's life is fascinating to the avid music fan. One of Howie's greatest legacies is the founding of 415 Records in 1978, one of San Francisco's seminal independent record labels. From beloved underground acts such as the Units and the Nuns to bands who would find mainstream success, such as Romeo Void, the roster of 415 artists is breathtaking in its diversity and talent.

Recently, Liberation Hall has begun re-releasing some of 415's catalogue, including the label-spanning Disturbing The Peace compilation in late 2020. For more information on Liberation Hall and the work that they're doing, visit them here:
