Lookout! Records Closes Their Doors Seminal 90's pop-punk/indie rock label, Lookout! Records is shutting its doors. In a recent blog post , Ted Leo made the informal announcement.From the Blog I’ve been getting a lot of Twitter questions about why a bunch of my records have disappeared from all the digital services (Sportify, iDudes, Mandora, etc.). It’s because our beloved Lookout Records, which ceased releasing new material in 2006, but carried on keeping the catalog in print until this past December, has, sadly, shuttered it’s windows for good.

while it was home to many great acts/releases, that whole "not paying bands" thing sucked. regardless of that, it's a bummer to see this come to an official close. hopefully, now that rights have been reverted back to the original artists, we'll see some nice, fancy re-presses of old releases.
and for those interested, here's a lengthy, good read of the label's history:
the rise and fall of lookout!

One of the best labels in the '80s and '90s, anyone who listens to pop punk needs to give their catalogue a good listen.

Didnt know Fuel was that popular of a band. If you like Hot Water Music check their album out. It's great
