Don Giovanni

Don Giovanni is a punk label based in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Founded in 2003 by Joe Steinhardt and Zach Gajewski, the label has become known for its commitment to showcasing raw and authentic punk music.

With a focus on supporting independent artists, Don Giovanni has built a reputation as a platform for emerging talent. The label's roster includes *artists* who push boundaries and challenge the status quo of the punk genre.

Since its inception, Don Giovanni has released numerous critically acclaimed albums that have resonated with both fans and critics alike. The label's dedication to quality music and artistic integrity sets it apart from others in the industry.

Musician, songwriter, and singer from Sayreville, New Jersey. Mikey Erg is best known for his contributions to the punk rock genre. He gained recognition as a member of the pop-punk band The Ergs! and has since embarked on a successful solo career. Whether performing with a full backing band or as a solo artist, Mikey Erg's music captivates audiences with its raw energy and heartfelt lyrics.

With influences ranging from House Boat to Direct Hit!, Mikey Erg's sound is reminiscent of punk rock bands that have made their mark in the industry. His music resonates with fans of Classics Of Love, The Copyrights, and other notable artists within the genre.

From his early days in The Ergs! to his current endeavors as a solo musician, Mikey Erg continues to push boundaries and create music that speaks to listeners on a personal level. With each performance, he proves himself as an influential figure in punk rock history.

Waxbuilt Castles is the second full-length solo album by New Jersey’s Mikey Erg. As the drummer and principal songwriter in The Ergs! and at least a dozen other bands, Erg has as sturdy a set of pop-punk bona fides as you’re likely to find. Waxbuilt Castles is a departure, though.

Recorded in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Alex Clute - who performed with Erg in The Chris Gethard Show’s house band - it’s a set of songs that takes its central inspiration from the melodicism and craft of ’70s pop rock. In their production and arrangement, the songs emulate Erg’s pre-punk musical heroes -- ELO, Elvis Costello, Phil Ochs, and especially the Beatles.
