Touch and Go - "On the Cam" (1999)

Touch and Go Records is an independent record label based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, which began life in 1979 in East Lansing, Michigan as a magazine put out by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson. Vee was bored with the punk sounds of the day, and captivated by the emerging hardcore movement in America. Similarly to some other alternative music labels, such as Factory Records in the UK and punk label Dischord Records in the US, Touch and Go pursued a relaxed approach to recording contracts, characterized by handshake deals providing for a 50-50 split of profits between artist and label after promotion and production costs. In this way, the label built a respected catalogue of influential punk and alternative artists such as The Ex, !!!, Big Black, Butthole Surfers, Chrome, Jesus Lizard, Shellac, Slint and many more.
