This interview covers the 30th anniversary of Lisa Fancher's Frontier Records, which introduced the world to Suicidal Tendencies, The Adolescents and The Circle Jerks, TSOL, the Weirdos and more. That's a hell of a long time for any record company to survive, let alone one that has been financed literally out of the pockets of a single person. Words like "legendary", "boundary-breaking" and "pioneer" tend to be tossed around lightly these days but in Lisa Fancher's case, however, all three are true. There just arenât that many labels started by a woman who has played by her own rules in the male-dominated world of indie and punk music for over three decades - period. And letâs not forget â sheâs released seminal records to boot! We discuss the past and future of the label such as how it got started, the scene then and future projects, like the special reissue of Christian Deathâs âOnly Theatre of Painâ.
