I love the legal action that has sprung up involving punk
rock litigants. We went over the Black
Flag cases last year and now we’re on to the Kix v. Adolescents. Stems from
the altogether terrific Frontier
Records, run by the estimable Lisa Fancher and home of some excellent bands
including Redd Kross, Circle Jerks and TSOL confronting an Italian label that
calls itself Frontiers Records,
home to some pretty sad shit including Styx, Stryper and Great White.
The confused fans of the Italian label are emailing Lisa at
Frontier and asking about tickets to Whitesnake and giving props to Kix.
“Wrong label, you’re looking for Frontiers Records from
Italy!” is Lisa’s way cool response to one query, resisting the urge to rip on
these poor guys.
Here’s
the complaint filed by Frontier in hopes of getting the Pat Travers fans
off her back.
