Look at what arrived at CBR's shipping department this week. If you guessed Time Life Books' 28 Volume Series: The Civil War you would only be partially correct. That's coming next week. What we have here is The Austerity Program's record entering the final stages before its upcoming release. Soon.

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

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

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

Welcome to the new Controlled Burn Records Web site. We have officially launched as a label today with the release of Nonagon's single, Apologies to Polly Jean.
