Established in the summer of 1996, HOSTAGE RECORDS has spent it’s entire existence doing one thing; documenting the true sound of the Orange County musical underground on 7 inches of wax. The 45 rpm single is ground zero for punk rock legitimacy. If a band doesn’t have one, it’s motives are suspicious at best, if you don’t own one, yours are too. Cheers, Hostage 2010.
