Another sign that evil is winning (to quote Dark Helmet: "Because good is dumb"): G7 Welcoming Committee, the Canadian label run by members of Propagandhi as well as being one of the last of its kind (meaning they're fair, nice, and put out good shit), has closed its doors.

Official statement:

"Instead of pretending that we’re actually still interested in the practice of accepting submissions and hunting for, then filtering and sorting, then negotiating and paying for, then promoting and distributing and accounting for music… instead of pretending that we like and are happy doing all THAT… we are doing the opposite. And opposite, is opposite.

All G7 releases will remain available in their current high-quality digital form into the foreseeable future."

The label was home to other notable, fucking righteous acts such as Randy, The Weakerthans, Greg MacPherson, GFK, and more. Let us bow our heads in silence.

Got something constructive to say? By all means, rant away. Gonna blab about something unrelated and/or talk shit? Don't expect your comment to stick around.
