I would be more sad about this if I'd liked any records on the label recently. The early hardcore records are amongst the genres finest.

More terrible news.
As kily kill said in the past if you picked up a T&G record you were guaranteed it would be good or at least be interesting even if it wasnt your cup of tea.
It was the "big label" Brainiac signed to after Grass.

here, let's not jump the gun...

Touch and Go will continue to operate as a label; it has released more than 400 records in the last 28 years including more than 100 on its Quarterstick subsidiary. But the decision to cut distribution will force Rusk to shrink his staff of about 25 people. He would not give specifics in a phone interview Wednesday, but said the decision was "painful for everybody involved." Several employees reported being "blindsided" by the announcement.

AFAIremember Grass was bought up by some prick in the 90's, fucked the wrens in their collective asses, changed the name to wind-up and then signed Creed.
