Barf Wave Records, a DIY record label that promoted many punk bands across North Texas, has folded.
The team behind the label will soon book shows under a different name. Co-founder Eric Eisenman said they decided to pull the plug because they couldn’t dedicate time to find new bands to work with.
“Some of these later bands that we were releasing music for, they are incredibly talented, but they don’t have a clue of what the first step is to making physical copies of their music,” co-founder Charlie DeBolt said. “We literally were just like, ‘Hey, let us release your music and we’ll pay half of what it costs.’”
The label released its first EP for Loafers in 2015. A split EP for Loafers and Teenage Sexx followed the next year. The label then attracted attention from other area bands, including Poison Culture, Sub-Sahara, Whep, Thyroids and Eleventeen, among others. “If it wasn’t for the people that are willing to put forth the money, time and everything to run a small label, none of us could put our stuff out,” said Caleb Lewis of Upsetting. “Sometimes it takes a village to put stuff out on tape, to put stuff on CD, and it helps a lot of bands almost become family, which is really important.”
