2005 is Frontier’s 25th anniversary and they couldn’t be
any prouder to come full circle with an ADOLESCENTS album just as
exciting as the first one!
FRONTIER RECORDS was founded in 1980
by Lisa Fancher. It was one of the first independent labels to document
the nascent hard-core punk rock scene of Los Angeles, before branching
out into other scenes and sounds such as the Paisley Underground and
(always) guitar-based bands such as THIN WHITE ROPE, THE YOUNG FRESH
FELLOWS and HEATMISER.
For twenty-five years, FRONTIER has maintained a small roster and
dependable catalogue, making for a long and happy relationship with
our reason-to-be: independent stores, ‘zines, stations and record
buyers.
