Over the years, the label helped introduce bands like Flogging Molly, The Gaslight Anthem, and Gogol Bordello to wider audiences. Its catalog also includes releases from PUP and Jeff Rosenstock, reflecting its strong connection to punk and alternative music. sideonedummy.com Before building the label, Sib made his own mark on the scene as the frontman of Wax and later 22 Jacks. He eventually brought that same energy into stand-up comedy, drawing on stories about growing up in California, playing in bands, and becoming a father.
