Some of our earliest were Chicago legends like Blue Meanies, Alkaline Trio, Braid, and Sweep The Leg Johnny—along with Tenacious D, No Idea Records, Texas Is The Reason, Low, and Polyvinyl.

10 years ago, we designed this custom magnet to celebrate our 20th anniversary. An image from starting out in Bloomington, IN in 1995, then San Francisco and finally finding our home in Chicago. Now, as we get ready to turn 30, we’ve created a new magnet to mark the moment. (1/2)
