The Transgressions kick of their 2010 tour with Off With Their Heads and another Madison band, Direct Hit. I’ve posted the tour dates in the “Shows” section. Check them out! Eric from the Jetty Boys claims that these guys are THE next Street Pop Punks. I think they rule, and their CDEP “Waste My Time” is refreshingly cool. Support live music! See a live band!

Thanks to the bands and the fans for making 2009 our best year to date at the label. We have some great plans for 2010 starting with a kick off of the Jetty Boys Winter 2010 tour. Check the shows section for tour dates in a town close to you. The Jetty’s will have Merman Records (Canada) band ‘The Roman Line” on tour with them supporting their latest release “Morning Portraits”. I suggest you check them out and make the time to support hard working touring bands.
In 2010 we are planning releases from The Dwyers, Tenement/ Cheeky, The Challenged and a few others that I’m keeping a surprise at this time. Also, I’m working on a joint release of “Sheboygan” on 12”LP with details forth coming.
Last I now have a full supply of the traditional “Rally Logo” Shirts in multiple sizes. These are the American Apparel shirts that were sold at Monona Merch. I want to make some space for upcoming projects and will be offering these at a discount. I should have them added to the Merch page just after the Holiday.
Thanks again, and I look forward to 2010 being another great year for music!

“Sheboygan” and “Waste My Time” are both out 10/20/2009 on CD Format. I’m taking orders and shipping them now. Check out the “Merch” section for buying links! They will also be made available digitally via iTunes very soon for those who prefer that format. Speaking of format, there are plans in the works for “Sheboygan” on 12” LP later in the year. There are a few details to work out yet, so hang tight. I will be offering a discount to those who already have purchased the CD and want the LP as well…including some other things I don’t want to spoil now.
Coming Soon: I have another release coming very shortly from a great band from Finland, The Dwyers! I’m doing a US release of there latest record “Gas Station, Masturbation” with a previously unreleased track and alternate cover art. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is generic Ramonescore or Weaselcore – It’s straight up kick ass gravely vox punk rock! Don’t believe me, see for yourself;
http://www.myspace.com/thedwyersmusic. I’m waiting on the final art and this should be ready later in the fall. Don’t miss this one.
Also, we have a 7” split coming from Tenement and Cheeky. Two of my current favorite bands! I can’t wait for this one!!! As the details unfold I’ll keep you updated!
More to come!

The winner gets Vinyl/CD bundle of Rally releases plus a copy of the shirt they designed! The contest will run for the month of September. Send your ideas as jpeg files and we will post some of the best etc.. on the site.

I was up early and stumbled across a site called “SoundCloud” They have a neat media player and the basic account is free, so I thought it’d be cool to add the Jetty Boy “Sheboygan” promo tracks to the player, so I did. Folks have been asking to hear an additional song from the upcoming record, so I complied! It’s in the “Media” section, take a look. Enjoy.

After sleepless nights, daytime nail biting, and a few grey hairs – the glorious vinyl arrives! Shipping will commence! The Jetty’s will be playing in Sheboygan this Friday with The Methadones. If you are in the area check out the show, the band should have copies for sale!

Thanks Nathan @ ClickNathan.com for all the work in creating a new site! I’m now able to make updates and add content much easier and it looks 1000 better! I’m very excited about this! Remember to join the mailing list, check out the Releases section, stop by the Media link and check out the Merch store! I’ll be adding some pictures and mp3 soon as well. Also, in the next day or so I will be going to add other Non-Rally titles available in our Distro!
Thank you for the support!
