Jay Sinclair, former bassist and songwriter of now defunct Canadian punk band Belvedere] has launched a new record label with Darren Ollinger of Calgary alt-rock station x92.9. The label is called The New Black and has a roster which includes the Colin Decker Free Fall, a band that features both label founders as well as other members of Belvedere, Downway and Killing Fields. The band claims an "old school" influence from Minor Threat and D.R.I. The label is also working with a band called the Mad Cowboys.

The label is planning to open offices in December of 2008. The facilities will also house several rehearsal rooms, a small all ages venue and a pre-production studio.

That's awesome. Every label should have all that at their "offices".

Dude used to play some really impressive bass lines in belvedere. I think with proper recordings this band could sound much better than they do.

I also wonder if the drummer from downway still rocks his ridiculously small drum kit.

Jay3313 (September 27, 2008)

He does.

And he still is too fucking big for it.

Great! Now move your operations to Michigan and we'll be all set.

Where you actually in South Bay Bessie? I used to be in The Potentials, back when we played shows with The Swellers and such.
