JSNTGM stands for Just Say No To Government Music. Like most important things in life, JSNTGM is very much a labour of love, some times spiritually draining and at all times non profit making.

JSNTGM (Just Say No To Government Music) has been in existence since the early 90's when I began working with different bands, putting on gigs and helping bands to put out vinyl.

The term "Government Music" is in fact from the Dead Kennedys' song "Triumph of The Swill" which is on their "Bedtime for Democracy" album. "Triumph of The Swill" refers to the endless stream of garbage served up to us by the Music Industry Machine. This incessant flow of mind-numbingly nauseating musical propaganda is something I always found profoundly distasteful. This coupled with a profound disinterest in the traditional music business / industry (machine) was all the motivation I needed to set up this small independent label.

By continuing to release music outside of the mainstream, and by supporting marginalized ideas via the written word of Blackpool Rox II fanzine, we hopefully provide in our own little way some small counterweight to the conventionally wholly uninspiring world of Government Music.

We try to get new stuff released as often as we can, so please send us your material. We will normally review all the material we receive in Blackpool Rox II fanzine, and it will in turn be added to the on-line reviews section, so we can immortalise your band and partially help satisfy your desire for immortality.
