Did you know I once had a record label?

Interplanetary Truckers Union (ITU Records) (1995 – 1998)

ITU was a New York-based independent record label from 1995-1998 launched by 3 college friends committed to making a difference in the growing punk rock and emo music scene at the time. ITU was inspired by bands like Fugazi, Jawbox, Quicksand, Unwound, Drive Like Jehu, Chavez, The Promise Ring, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get Up Kids, Mineral, Texas Is The Reason, Sensefield, and Jimmy Eat World. ITU was also inspired by independent record labels like Jade Tree, Dischord, Gern Blandsten, Victory, Saddle Creek, and Caulfield. ITU's bands included Flu Thirteen (later known as Diffuser), Cursive (early releases and "Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes" album), Nipper!, Long Distance Runner (formerly Sleepasaurus), Varistor, and Splendor Bin. The ITU website was a pioneer at the time in Flash animation/design and winner of a Silver Medal in 1997 of the International Design Magazine - Interactive Media Awards lives on. www.iturecords.com
