Scat Records is an independent label that was spawned in Cleveland in 1989 and is presently located in St. Louis, Missouri. Scat does not specialize in any particular kind of music, beyond the good kind. I like artists with vision, natural talent and expressive ability playing in a basically rock context. Timeless rock albums are the goal. Wholesale inquiries should be directed to my distributor, Revolver USA. Other matters can be addressed to scatrecords (at) gmail (dot) com.

This site is a good place to buy, hear or read about Finn's Motel, Yellow #5, Electric Eels, Mirrors, Styrenes, the Mice and/or Bill Fox, Prisonshake, Guided By Voices, Cobra Verde, Speaking Canaries, Nothing Painted Blue, My Dad Is Dead, Pufftube and many others. Single LPs and CDs are generally $10 or $12 and shipping starts at $2.75. Click the store link at left to enter the secure online shop. Mastercard/Visa, paypal, and payments by mail are all welcome. All the non-analog parts of the Scat catalog are also available at iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and others if you rock that way.

Hey, good news! Bill Fox will be playing in Chicago on Saturday July 2nd at Uncommon Ground (1401 W. Devon Ave) with Zapruder Point. I am planning to get the Transit Byzantium reissue out by the end of the year, early next at worst.

"As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: You liberate a city by destroying it. Words are used to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests."

"To criticize one's country is to do it a service....Criticism, in short, is more than a right; it is an act of patriotism-a higher form of patriotism, I believe, than the familiar rituals and national adulation."
                                  -J. William Fulbright

"Our tradition is one of protest and revolt, and it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past...while we silence the rebels of the present."
                                   - Henry Steele Commager

"The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion."
"The tyranny of the multitude is a multiplied tyranny."
