Punk Core began humbly in 1989 as a fanzine and a small distro made up of rare records that was run out of a small corner in my ex-girlfriend's bedroom. The fanzine only lasted one issue but the distro continued to grow throughout the 90's and we finally had enough money and know-how to start pressing our first records in 1997. Since then, we've continued to put out records by bands who share our love of punk rock and worked to make our dream of helping to bring back a form of music that had died in the early 80's a reality. Some people love us for it, some people totally hate us but it's all good. Love us or hate us, we've been here supporting punk rock for 16 years and we'll continue for as long as we can. Thanks to those people who have supported us over these last 16 years, new fans and old. We owe it all to you.
