Meanwhile, Nine Years Later... Phratry Records: A Good Thing Going.

It seem just like yesterday out of the ashes of other projects Jerry Dirr began talking up Phratry Records. In the punk-rock scene anybody can do it, with it being a substitute for anything imaginable. Band, zine, book, record... store.

This isn't news to you is it? 

Here we are, NINE years later and it seems that Phratry Records is a self-made love-rich success story that you just cant throw enough support behind or say enough good things about. Trust me, I've tried.

Mustering up a verily impressive catalog, with strong self-defined direction and uncompromisable aesthetics, Phratry is what it is all about in its rawest purest form! as a testament to those aesthetics, Mr. Dirr is allowing THWART readers to download a label retrospective. One song from every release that Phratry has released* as free mp3 downloads cutting through the chase, no need to seek out a cryptic download code, Thwarts got the goods!
