“This is our 5th year of doing Smartpunk House, and I feel like every year it just gets better and better—closer to the idea that has been growing and building in my head. This showcase is everything I’ve loved about going to festivals like Plea for Peace or Warped Tour or RiotFest. Getting to partner with amazing companies like SIMS Foundation and MusiCares while listening to incredible artists, getting tattooed or watching someone rip it on a halfpipe? That’s what dreams are made of.” – Matt Burns, Label Manager of Smartpunk Records

ABOUT SMARTPUNK RECORDS:
Smartpunk has been a recognizable name in the scene for a long time (Remember that sponsored Warped Tour stage?!). After exchanging several hands and countless ideas of what it could and should be, they decided to start a record label in 2016 with the main idea of focusing solely on reissuing records that have been out of print or never on vinyl. After all, they’re a label of vinyl dorks themselves! After releasing Set Your Goals‘ Mutiny and Gameface‘s Good, they started to venture into signing newer bands. They actively balance in between many worlds — putting out amazing music from friends and bands that rock, reissuing older titles, and partnering with other incredible labels in our scene and doing exclusive color variants of their releases.”Since forming the record label, Smartpunk Records has released timeless albums such as Less Than Jake‘s AnthemNominee‘s LowlifeRIVALS’ Sad Looks Pretty on MeVirginity‘s POPMORTEM, and melodic skate punkers The Swellers My Everest.
