Paul Holdengräber is joined by Lisa Fancher on episode 205 of The Quarantine Tapes. Lisa is the owner of the independent record label Frontier Records. On this episode, she talks with Paul about the 40th anniversary of Frontier, how the label has weathered the pandemic, and what it has meant for the label to remain independent.

Paul and Lisa discuss Henry Rollins, Lisa’s brilliant alternative radio station KXFU, and what the return of live music and concerts may look like. Paul asks Lisa to go back into her archive of the incredible releases of Frontier Records—Flyboys, the Adolescents, Thin White Rope, and many more—as they talk about the past and future of vinyl.

Lisa Fancher is the founder and owner of Frontier Records, an independent record label based in Sun Valley, California. She has been described as one of the “unsung heroines of L.A. punk rock history” and has played a pivotal role in the punk rock scene for more than forty years.
