Coastless Records

coastless recordsCoastless Records is a not-for-profit punk rock record label based out of Cedar Rapids, with a focus on vinyl releases. Our mission is to give bands/musicians/artists a chance to get their music out to the world without having to empty their wallet or sell their soul. We’re not here to make money; it’s all about the bands and the music. All profits coming in go back into the label and the artists associated with us.
Right now, we have just one release under our belts, a 7-inch from Cedar Rapids band Well Aren’t You Precious, titled ‘The Only Way You’ll Get 7″ From Us”. We’re looking to move forward with another band/release sometime in 2016.

Bands:

Rumble Seat Riot

Switchblade Saturdays

Vendors/Others:

Fester’s Bazaar

Mobile merchandising with an interesting and sometimes bizarre selection of clothing, jewelry, and oddities
