Flatspot Records are marking their 20th anniversary with a new hardcover book documenting the label’s history, followed by a special live celebration in New York City.
Titled ‘Intent To Distribute: Twenty Years Of Flatspot Records’, the 192-page coffee table book will arrive February 5, 2027. Written and edited by Fred Pessaro, the release will explore the influential hardcore label’s evolution through archival photography, artwork, memorabilia and interviews with artists and key figures from its history.
Among those featured are label co-owners Che Figueroa-Rodriguez and Ricky Singh, alongside members of Trapped Under Ice, Backtrack, Terror, SPEED, End It, Scowl and more.
The book’s release will be followed by a 20th-anniversary show at Webster Hall in New York City on February 6. Presented by Converse and Saint Vitus, the event will feature performances from Trapped Under Ice, Breakdown (featuring the Blacklisted lineup), End It, Raw Brigade, Iron Mind and Frothing Mad. The show will also feature no-barricade performances.
Each ticket purchased for the anniversary concert will include a complimentary copy of ‘Intent To Distribute: Twenty Years Of Flatspot Records’.
Presale registration is currently open, with ticket presales beginning tomorrow, November 13, at 11:00 a.m. ET. Any remaining tickets will go on general sale at 12:00 p.m. ET.
Preorders for the book are available now through Flatspot Records’ official website, while additional show information and tickets can be found here.
