About
A silly, silly punk rock label founded in, hmmm, 2004? We started in San Francisco, but it just wasn't cold and miserable enough for us so the label was then relocated to Chicago.

Description
Here's four new songs showcasing the bi-continental love affair between good friends and tour mates, Chicago's Brendan Kelly and the UK's Sam Russo. Sam's offering picks up where his debut full length, "Storm", left off: stirring ballads with a hint of Americana. In contrast to Sam's full-band approach, Brendan's two songs are sparsely tracked in the backroom of a bar, but bear his trademark wit and melodic rasp that have made him an alt-punk hero. No telling what is implied with the title of this EP, but given that Sam is from England, it seems unlikely that it's a reference to leaving a gratuity...
