Information/Write-up

As a bored college student and enormous fan of record labels who released coloured vinyl in limited runs, Edmonton's Evan Carleton started Reluctant Recordings to release a record for his cousin's band, the Franklins. Joining the group on tour, he stumbled upon Vancouver's defunct post-hardcore geniuses the WPP and ended up releasing their opus, He Has The Technology. Since then, Reluctant has released some of Western Canada's most important indie and punk records from groups like the Doers, Run Chico Run, Ghost House, and SNFU. Having recently expanded to include John Cow and the Doer's Sean Maxey as partners, the label continues to push the boundaries without caving to the aggressive marketing standards of the modern music business, instead branching out to release outdated formats like cassette tapes. "All we really try to do is pick music that we believe in and release it in a unique way," Evan explains on the phone from his job at a fertilizer company. "There's definitely no aspiration of working up to some level where we've got huge distribution across the world."
