About

OVOLR! is a record label from Richmond, Virginia. Together with Debackle press, we release books, music, and other things relevant to punk and activist culture.

History

OVOLR! (One Voice, One Life, Resist!) records was formed in 1996. Following the passing of 500$fine bass player, Patrick Daly, we wanted to do something with the music we had recorded. So, with the help of a benefit show, we raised the money to put it out. The pressing plant required a label name, so I came up with One Voice, One Life, Resist!.

Over the years, it shortened to OVOLR! Records. Then I started making printed matter under the name of Debackle Press, so the two merged to OVOLR! / Debackle. (Debackle came from a cat I had.)

As of now, the label serves as a vehicle to release music I make myself, am involved in, or I just think needs to be heard. I try to keep it a positive label, putting out music that shows the best sides of punk rock.
