Yeah, I also read about the Crypt releases going down but the owner
Tim Warren is soon open up a record shop in New York so obviously he
believes things aren't totally bad when it comes to selling physical
records. Anyone interested can check out the post here:
I noticed that you have a Double Crown advertising banner up at the
GaragePunk.com forum boards which I think is a great move. I always
believed that the best way to make the surf music genre to grow is to
try to attract people from related genres such as garage music and
rockabilly.
Keep it up!

industry is hurting these days, due to file sharing, CD piracy,
online radio and podcasting. While people are still listening to
music as much as they did before, people just aren't buying it. I
just read about how the owner of Crypt Records has stopped releasing
CD's. Estrus no longer puts out stuff the way they used to. Same with
Norton and other similar labels. What's the future? I know Double
Crown's not doing as good as it used to, although I have no plans of
shutting down. Is the future online downloads? What's also curious to
me is the fact that there are hundreds of people on the Cowabunga,
Reverborama and Surf Guitar 101 lists that dig surf/instro music, yet
only a small percentage actually buys our releases. Do our releases
suck? Do you already have enough surf/instro in your collection? What
should we be releasing? Our sales are good enough to keep going,
definitely, but not enough to release more that 3 or 4 CD's per year.
I'm interested in hearing feedback on all this, either on the lists,
or via e-mail to: records@...
