    Episode 1350: What Was First: Touch & Go Records

    Tough & Go is a classic midwestern label, known for its roots in the early hardcore scene, and one that would evolve into one of America’s most influential indie labels.

    Touch & Go Records evolved from a fanzine of the same name started in 1979 by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson, two punk rock fans from East Lansing, Michigan.
