We are an artist-run label formed in 2013. All the work, good or bad, is done by the people in the bands.

Jonathan Ferris-Bohorquez was able to snap some very nice shots of Nonagon playing at The Dragonfly Lounge in Madison, Wis. Visit the show's page on Nonagon's Web site for the rest of the photos.

Thad and Justin have started putting songs on tape for their next record. It'll be 8 songs long and about 40 minutes long. We'll be putting it out next Spring. Read more about @title
This was the poster for Nonagon's The Last Hydronaut record release show. The poster was designed and printed by Chris Williams of Plastic Flame Press. It features four colors, an underwater battle and is signed and numbered by the artist. The edition size of this silk screened print was 50 prints.

Nonagon's new record, THE LAST HYDRONAUT (or BURN002 as it's known among the interns and accountants) gets released TODAY. This is the first 'big' release on the label and I won't lie: it's been more work than we thought it would be. That said, it's also been more fun and rewarding than expected... I think we'll declare victory.
Thanks to all who helped us and cared. Couldn't have happened without your support, love, and occasional punch in the face.
XOXO Nonagon

After a whopping 73 days in business (more or less), we're already raising prices on most stuff by a buck. Why? Because we erred and forgot to include an important cost when we first put up the site. Hey, look, we're bands, not MBAs and web designers and small business managers and PhD college professors and people who ship stuff for our jobs over here. (Actually, none of that last sentence is true because have one of each of those.)
So if you bought stuff early, great. For everyone else, we're sorry that most things cost a dollar more. But now they do. Read more about @title
Nonagon's latest contains six songs pressed onto black, 12" vinyl. It is intended to be played loudly at 45rpm, but you can play it however you want.... It's your record and we're not the boss of you.

As it turns out, starting a label is harder than we gave it credit for. Paperwork. Bank accounts. Websites. Figuring out where to get those gold records pressed.... The to-do list still isn't completely done, but it's close enough. Let's call this thing "official," shall we?

Okay, we lied. Or Robert did. Let's just say that Robert lied and be done with it. Because we didn't really launch the label until today. (If by launching the label you mean telling everyone about a website, because that's what we are doing and that's what we mean by that.)
While we've been pulling together this whole label adventure together, we've each been doing work on our next release. Read more about @title
