On this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, I sit down with Andy Pohl, the founder of Sell The Heart Records, a fiercely independent label that's been putting out “good f*cking music” since 2010. From humble beginnings releasing his own band’s CD to building a respected and diverse catalog spanning punk, post-rock, ska, darkwave, and more, Andy shares what it really takes to run a DIY label in today’s climate.
We dive deep into the grind of pressing vinyl, the realities of band promotion, and why building community matters more than chasing profit. Whether you’re a musician, label owner, or just someone who loves underground music, this episode is packed with honest insights, laughs, and the kind of punk ethos that reminds you why you got into this scene in the first place.
📦 Topics include:
Why he still runs the label mostly solo
The importance of bands doing their part
Vinyl repressing decisions
The highs (and lows) of collaboration
Building a legacy while staying DIY
🎧 Hit play and support the scene.
