 » Equal Vision
From a start in the early '90s releasing Krishna hardcore bands, Equal Vision Records is now known for their hardcore, indie and screamo bands. The label's Director of Publicity Francesca Caldara gives us the inside information on how they do it and how working in the music industry can make you hate music.

 » Metropolis Records
For nearly fifteen years, Metropolis Records has been releasing albums that you couldn't find elsewhere in the States. With a business style a little different than other record labels, Metropolis founder, president and owner Dave Heckman gives us the inside story.

 » Science Records
SoCal label Science Records opened up shop just about one year ago and life sure is good, says Ryan Whalley, one of the label's managers. "All of our artists are successful if we're able to put their release out, get them on the road, and put that record into music listeners hands. We've had just about all of our artists on the Warped Tour, have also had them out with bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Silverstein, Saosin, Radio Rebellion Tour, Story Of The Year, Taste Of Chaos and Megadeth to name a few. We're very fortunate for the success we've had with all of our artists."

 » Poison Tree
Short, simple and to the point: "We don't work with assholes," says Poison Tree Records owner Matt Sells. Formed just over a year over, PlugInMusic.com spotlights Poison Tree Records on how they got going and how they keep things rocking.

 » Heavy Artillery
Think metal is dead? Think again. Dave from the newly formed Heavy Artillery talks to PlugInMusic.com about the today's metal scene, what is coming up next for the young label and how the label's financed by selling crack in local school yards. He's joking. (We think.)
