Reese Roper is simply a legend. Five Iron Frenzy (FIF) was one of the first Christian bands truly existing in both the Christian and mainstream space. In the late 90s during the ska explosion, they achieved real commercial success, made a bold choice to stay on a small independent label, and were delivering absolutely scorching lyrics that were full of questions and critique - lyrics that challenged the existing cultural structures. Packaging those lyrics in the ska-punk package was a perfect move that paid off deeply to their fan base. FIF is also one of those bands that pioneered and cultivated their followers into super fans by delivering on multiple layers of depth across time and staying true to their principles. They are heroes of the scene and certainly paved the way for the next generation.  They are now releasing an incredibly cool vinyl box set of all their music. You gotta check it out and the promotional video for it. I’ll link it in the notes because it delivers the perfect amount of silliness and humor that you’d expect from FIF. I thought this would be a great chance to talk to Reese and get his reflections on some of the special things they have accomplished plus some of the challenges.

Hawk Nelson

Jason Dunn started Hawk Nelson in 2000 with his pals northeast of Ontario where they were like thousands of other aspiring garage bands who just loved to make noise until a connection with Trevor McNevan towed them in to ride the wave of pop punk right into the height of Tooth &amp; Nail's dominance. In the decade that followed they enjoyed great success, became a business with a full team and commercial momentum of their own until the commercial trends began to shift leaving Jason to feel an internal dissonance that he didn't know how to resolve...

Brandon Ebel

The mind of Brandon Ebel is quite a unique thing. He has an ability to rapidly shift his perspectives to analyze things at multiple levels, and has a strong bias toward action and a incredible eye for talent of all kinds. He seems to be all over the place but a better description might be that he has a laser focus and intensity that is consistent on a different horizon that perhaps only he understands. His special abilities to adapt and find consistency in extremely dynamic environments like the music industry have had a profound influence on many people over many years and seems very likely to continue.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus hit the national stage right in the pocket of time where the mainstream was taking notice of what our scene was up to. This was partially due to the unique character of Ronnie Winter, who was able to break in and ride that wave and create opportunity for himself in a way that maybe only he could. Their debut album “Don’t You Fake It” released in the summer of 2006 on Virgin Records and was certified gold by November of that same year. That meteoric rise brought along with it all that you could imagine of both positive and negative experiences. In this conversation, Ronnie does a great job of both seeing all the forces at play and owning his own part in it all.

Ryan Leitru

For Today is a particularly interesting band because they were one of the most outspoken Christian bands ever, but, instead of trying to carefully walk the line between Christian and secular, they just went hard musically AND lyrically. They were able to penetrate deeply into the secular market finding great success in many opportunities like Warped Tour. They were able to achieve longevity, earn a decent living and create brutal music that is still popular and relevant today.

Solid State Records was gaining momentum with acts like Living Sacrifice and Zao as heavy music was becoming more widely accepted. Roy Culver, who worked for EMI was hired and moved to Seattle to be the first Solid State employee and its A&amp;R.  Roy explains what the time of transition was like from his view and recounts stories of Solid State's successes and difficulties. <a href="https://labeledpodcast.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://labeledpodcast.com/</a> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/labeled" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Support Labeled on Patreon</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2502620686459105/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Join Labeled on Facebook</a> Watch Strange Her "The Scarlet Cord" at <a href="http://strangehermusic.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">strangehermusic.com</a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/brokn2pieces/playlist/4Bw6kBoItZ6hzzsKTGwcFr?si=dtaK-hsmQf2gFsJJ_iNQeg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Roy Culver's Solid State Records Playlist on Spotify</a> SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Living Sacrifice "Reborn Empowered" Living Sacrifice "Rejected" Zao "Kathleen Barbra" Norma Jean "Face" The Agony Scene "We Bury Our Dead at Dawn" Living Sacrifice "Imminent War" Stretch Arm Strong "For the Record" Eso-Charis "Born with a Future" Extol "Undeceived" Darkthrone "As Flittermice as Satans Spys" Selfmindead "Always" Norma Jean "Created Something out of Nothing, Only to Destroy" MORE FROM TOOTH &amp; NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: <a href="http://smarturl.it/labeledplaylist" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">smarturl.it/labeledplaylist</a> * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&amp;N Records: <a href="http://smarturl.it/TNNDiscover" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">smarturl.it/TNNDiscover</a> * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: <a href="https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH</a> * Tooth &amp; Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): <a href="http://tnn.lnk.to/store" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tnn.lnk.to/store</a>

Chapter 10: A Time of Transition and the Rise of Solid State Records

Chapter 5 Cornerstone Festival grew to a massive level by the mid 2000’s with Tooth and Nail day being one of its main features. The cultures of Tooth and Nail and Cornerstone were a perfect fit. The environment that they created was both the incubator and launching pad for countless careers and also a wonderful place of development for its attendees, staff, and volunteers. The festival did in fact come to an end, but it by no means did it fail.   https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon   Join Labeled on Facebook   SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Dogwood "Never Die" Danielson "Did I Step on Your Trumpet" Charlie Peacock "This is the Way of Love" FM Static "Next Big Thing" Hangnail "Aspire" Mae "Last Call" Mae "Light Years" Two Thirty Eight "Modern Day Prayer" Value Pac "Nothing" Norma Jean "Leaderless and Self Enlisted" Copeland "Pin Your Wings"   MORE FROM TOOTH &amp; NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&amp;N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth &amp; Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store

Chapter 5: The End of Cornerstone

Chapter 6 MXPX has a special place in the history of Tooth and Nail Records. They were the first band to break well beyond the Christian punk hardcore scene and into the mainstream. In 1992, they were 10th graders in Bremerton, trying to play at house parties. By 1996, they were on MTV, KROQ, and part of the global pop punk culture. This was an incredibly rapid rise, full of new elements to navigate, not only for the band, but for Tooth and Nail, who now found themselves in a different world and at a totally new level, setting a new precedent for what was possible for an independent label.   https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon   Join Labeled on Facebook   SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: MxPx "Secret Weapon" MxPx "Walking Bye" MxPx "Christalena (Demo Version)" MxPx "Want Ad" MxPx "Punk Rawk Show" MxPx "Chick Magnet" MxPx "Responsibility"   MORE FROM TOOTH &amp; NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&amp;N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth &amp; Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store

Chapter 6: From Bremerton to the Wide World

Chapter 14 Today we continue on our early 2000’s journey with the very important and pivotal Anberlin (Stephen Christian).  I refer to Anberlin as pivotal, because they began as a pop punk band in the vein of late 90's Tooth &amp; Nail, but made an image and musical pivot at just exactly the right time, along with a crop other emerging bands from the southeast, which in turn helped Tooth &amp; Nail pivot and transition to a new era.  Tooth &amp; Nail has just acquired Takehold Records and its founder, Chad Johnson, to be head of A&amp;R, and his connections began to pay off.

Chapter 14: Anberlin

Chapter 3: By the mid 90’s, Tooth and Nail Records had moved from Southern California to Seattle, where they were confronted with a scene that was not exactly welcoming to Christian rock, but the influence of that scene would play a role in Brandon’s strategy to embrace and seek artists that could be credible in the mainstream world and place them alongside others that could have mass appeal in the Christian market. This episode explores the difficulty navigating being an artist while having to wrestle with Christianity, credibility, commerce, and the conflicting expectations of fans, parents, record labels, and the non-Christian bands that you think of as peers.

Chapter 3: The Stigma

Chapter 23.1 Beloved’s 2003 debut, "Failure On," is a legendary album in the Solid State Records catalog. They had so much in their favor: made a flawless debut record, had an incredibly promising trajectory, had all been friends since childhood, and described themselves as family, were respected in the scene that was exploding and supportive, and were a priority to the best record label in the Christian heavy music space in the middle of its most powerful moment. Dusty Redmond gives his point of view as to how after just a few tours, and amid the anticipation of the entire scene for their follow up record, the Beloved train was derailed. Since then, Beloved has existed in conversations in greenrooms, tour busses, and record industry people as a “what if” band. There were occasionally feint rumors of possible reunions, but alas, after nearly 15 years, most people have given up hope. You would think that it would take something extraordinary to stop the incredible momentum that Beloved had in 2004, but some things can be both powerful and fragile at the same time.   https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon  Join Labeled on Facebook   SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Beloved “Only our Faces Hide” Strongarm “Council of Perfection” Selfmindead “Always” Fair “Carelessness” Beloved “Rise and Fall Beloved “Allure” Beloved “Kiss it Goodbye” Beloved “Insult to Injury” Beloved “Failure On My Lips” Advent “Hanging The Giants” Beloved “Death to Traitors”  MORE FROM TOOTH &amp; NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&amp;N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth &amp; Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store

Chapter 23: Beloved: One and Done

Chapter 13 We now continue to move into the 2000’s era of Tooth &amp; Nail Records. Brandon has sold half of the company to EMI and has purchased and absorbed Takehold Records, which brought its founder Chad Johnson on staff. Heavy music was continuing to explode, but also, in keeping with the Tooth and Nail style, Brandon and the staff continued to try to break and include a very wide variety of artists, including a very happy and poppy rock outfit from San Luis Obispo, CA, called Watashi Wa. Fronted by yet another young man who grew up as a Tooth &amp; Nail kid, Seth Roberts joins Labeled to help paint the picture of that time and the unique challenges they faced.
