Thumper Punk Records have announced they are closing
ONE OF America's leading independent Christian record labels, San Diego's Thumper Punk Records with a roster of over 30 punk rock acts from around the world, have announced their intention to close. Said the label's founder David Aaron, "When TPR first started, I felt called to serve in a music ministry. I now feel called to do other things. It's just that simple. No drama or crisis of faith. My season with TPR is ending, so TPR will be going on hiatus. The remaining release schedule includes the benefit compilation for Christian Alliance for Orphans, three more releases in the '3 Song Acoustic' series (plus one related unannounced benefit project) and one discography-style release from a historically important JCHC band. The TPR webstore is now having a huge sale on remaining CDs. I'll still be at the California-based JCHC shows and supporting our scene. I look forward to future releases from my brothers at Indie Vision Music, Raven Faith Records, Rottweiler Records, ZAP Records, Cristo Suburbano, Resurrected Vinyl, SkyBurnsBlack Records, In Presence Records, Veritas Vinyl, Love Your Enemies Records and, someday perhaps again, TPR. Thank you to all who have supported this."
