For the Record…

Amerikan Junk is and will likely always be a D.I.Y. Punk band. Meaning as long as we maintain creative control, we are D.I.Y. As long as we book our own shows whether we have a booking manager or not (we don’t), we are D.I.Y.  Major labels don’t do anything that we can’t do besides throw money at problems and screw people over. Just a little rant. D.I.Y. or DIE! That’s just the way it is for Junk.
