December 15, 2009 2009 was a flagship year for Joyful Noise. Several milestones were passed along the way... 2009 saw the signing of our first international artist (Austria's Valina), as well as the signing new artists from across the US (NYC-based Hi Red Center, Philly-based Hermit Thrushes, LA-based Bizzart, Indianapolis legends Marmoset, Kansas City fuckups I Love You, and nomadic traveler CJ Boyd). In 2009 JNR poached our first band from a bigger label - one of our favorite bands of all time - Marmoset (by way of Secretly Canadian - we still love them SC boys!), we co-released our second record with friends Asthmatic Kitty Records (Jookabox's "Dead Zone Boys"), and we released our first Steve Albini-recorded album (a right of passage for any decent label). In the end, we released 14 albums in 12 months, which, for an operation as humble as ours, is stupidly ambitious. Our creditors may have regrets, but we do not! 2009 saw JNR attaining a level that we could not have conceived of back in 2003 when Melk the g6-49's s/t album was released with a pressing of 500. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to release albums from some of our favorite bands this year. In 2010 we will be making some changes. Namely we will pressing a whole lot more vinyl, including some vinyl re-issues of some key back-catalog releases. In addition, beginning January 1, our website will allow you to stream every JNR release for free! So you can keep coming back and digesting our catalog in its entirety even when you're broke. There will be some new signings and new releases announced in due time. Thanks for making 2009 a memorable year folks. xoxo
