Main Man Records... we got what you need!

Welcome to...

Take It Or Leave It is out NOW!

Perhaps the greatest female rock band of all time, The Runaways unquestionably kicked down the door for every girl who's picked up a guitar, drum stick or microphone in the last 35 years. Plenty of boys walked through that door, too, as evidenced by the line-up we've got on our tribute to The Runaways, Take It Or Leave It. Everyone from David Johansen and Bebe Buell to The Dandy Warhols and Care Bears On Fire celebrate the influence of The Runaways. Boasting 36 songs, nearly every song from the band's catalog is represented.

Those keepers of the rock 'n' roll flame, Frankenstein 3000, have completed work on their new full-length CD. Method To Our Madness boasts 16 tracks and some titles you may even recognize.

There are new versions of "Going Away", "Everybody Else" and "Panic In Needle Park" and brand new song, "Revolution (Coming Of Age)" will be featured in the upcoming film, Let Me Down Hard.

First up was It's A Bird, It's A Plane... It's A Main Man Records Tribute To AC/DC Powerage. This might have been the fastest response to a request for submissions we've ever gotten. Who knew Powerage was so many people's favorite AC/DC album? We've got some unique contributions on this one. Dennis Dunaway (Alice Cooper) worked with Dimma, a band from

Iceland

; True Love gave us their first recorded material since 2006; we've even got a remix of one of the songs as a bonus track. Visit the CD's page here for more details and a special offer .

Frankenstein 3000’s third full-length CD, Where Do We Go From Here? was released on May 5, 2009. The new album reveals a great deal of growth for the band. Some songs showcase a poppier (but no less aggressive) sound while darker material exposes a side of the band not previously explored. Fans looking for the classic F3K sound won’t be disappointed, though. Check out the CD's page here for more information and a special offer.

2008 was a very exciting year at Main Man Records. We started off with We Still Believe The Hype, a collection of Bad Biscut rarities and our first single, Frankenstein 3000's Goin' Away. It was also our 10th year and we celebrated that with a "best of" called Twenty (so-named for our 20th release). Plus, Fabulous Disaster, the debut solo CD from Shawn Mars and a Deluxe Edition of Bad Biscut's The American Dream? were released last spring.

Main Man Records continued our biggest year yet with some very hot releases. We ended the summer with Hair Apparent, our tribute to 80s hair bands. With the help of DJs Kim Mulligan (WDHA Weekend Warrior) and Keith Roth (WRAT's The Electric Ballroom), this compilation includes respectful renditions of some of your favorite glam metal classics. We were also proud to make available a collection from New Jersey power-pop quintet Hangar 18 called The Alien Highway. The third and final Bad Biscut collection, the unreleased Shag Abbey sessions, is also out. Our releases for the end of the year included a holiday compilation, Santa's Soundtrack For The Happenin' Holidaze, and a tribute to New Jersey college-rock legends Winter Hours, A Few Uneven Rhymes.
