Propeller Records

<p>Pioneering New Zealand independent label operating from 1980 to 1983, Propeller Records is widely recognized as the first of the post-punk NZ indies. Although the label ceased operations after three years, it has continued to release various compilations over the years. Its subsidiaries, Huh Records and Joy Records, have been actively signing and releasing new artists since then. Initially distributed by Ode Records and later by Festival Records (NZ) Ltd., Propeller Records is currently distributed by DRMNZ. The label is owned by Simon Grigg.</p>

The missing musical link between Athens and Atlanta. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the out-of-print forgotten classic, Propeller Sound Recordings is set to release and remastered and expanded edition of <i>Seven Songs.</i> 

Fully immersed in the do it yourself aesthetic of the early-R.E.M. era, Current Rage's sole indie record is highly regarded by record collectors seeking out early eighties DIY releases. The relative scarcity of the original EP today suggests the item does not circulate on the marketplace very often making it ripe for reintroduction to the current marketplace with this expanded version. Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone wrote, "an enviable and impressive explosion of new music was emerging from the Atlanta Athens area at this time" Current Rage drew inspiration from Talking Heads, Pylon and R.E.M.
