THE SAGA:



Håkan started a label in 1997 called No Looking Back Records. He released a live Frodus album and eventually had the band come on over and tour Europe for the first time. At that time he met Shelby and he would say to him that speaking English makes his tongue dry. Years passed and they kept in contact, Håkan forming Division Of Laura Lee and launching Carcrash Records. Shelby starting the bands The Cassettes and Decahedron. Håkan ended up putting out such acts as: C.ARRME, DIALOG CET, INC, plus others. Shelby gradually amassed a closet-full of his own back-catalog in the form of DAT tapes, CD-Rs, ADAT tapes, and 2" reel to reels that were bending the shelves. In the early 2000s Håkan and Shelby's brain stems intertwined more as they shared design work as Passkontroll and the project band Frantic Mantis. They decided they might as well share the label as Shelby had a slew of back-catalog to unleash and the concept to document exciting DC underground music that never saw the light of day. In 2006, CARCRASH RECORDS morphed into a new modus-operandi of heralding full-lengths by Sweden's best spastic and angular bands and digitally unleashing unheard music from America's nation's capitol, Sweden's small provinces, and perhaps beyond.
