ANCHOR EIGHTY-FOUR
Cody Jones started Anchor Eighty Four Records in 2010 out of love for music and a passion to help and develop young, amazing bands, and give them a chance to be heard.
Growing up in Central California, punk and hardcore music were a driving force in the skate and surf culture in which I lived and breathed. Spending most days skating around Salinas, Monterey, and Santa Cruz; I spent most nights performing in various punk and hardcore bands.
After moving to Los Angeles in 2008, I spent the next four years working for legendary indie punk label Epitaph Records as their Webstore Coordinator (you can still see some of my tattoos on display in the Kings Road Merch Store). While getting to work with amazing and iconic bands on the label’s roster, I still felt the need to be connected to the independent/up and coming artist that needed the extra push to be heard. So, in January of 2010 Anchor Eighty Four Records was born and the first sampler was released for free download which included small and unknown bands at the time: The Story So Far, Second To Last, In Bear Country, Washington Square Park, and more.
As the label continues to grow and learn, Anchor Eighty Four’s mission is simply to always work for the artist to make their vision come true, and to put out music we love and believe in.
