General Questions
How many people work at G7?
There are currently 3 collective members at G7. Derek, Chris and the enigmatic Brent.
Is G7 owned by Propagandhi?
No, no, no. For fuck sakes, NO. Jord and Chris of Propagandhi are founding members of the G7 Collective, but they don't own it and they are not "bosses" or "presidents", or anything childish like that. The point of founding G7 as a collective was to eliminate the un-egalitarian trappings of traditional, capitalist, top-down workplaces. It is a small part of our larger vision for a social organization that doesn't concentrate wealth and decision-making power in the hands of a minority of the planet's population.
What does your name mean?
Oh, something incredibly clever, I assure you.
Can I get a job at G7?
No. Fuck off.
Can I volunteer at G7?
No. Fuck off.
Can I come hang out at the G7 office?
No. Fuck off.
Isn't selling records and shirts just capitalism?
Yes. No. Fuck off.
Aren't you just cashing in on "resistance culture" by turning it into a product to be bought and sold, and profiting off of it that the same time?
Profiting! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ... ahem, er, sorry. That's a great question, I see you've done your homework. The best we can say is "No. Fuck off."
Who killed the G7 CD?
Why is G7 discontinuing CDs? Isn't that classist/not punk/elitist/fascist/sexist? Don't MP3s sound bad? Does my ass look fat?
Oh, so many questions - and all of them so very valid. We are working on a policy statement of sorts that will answer all these questions - and more! Or less. It will appear here when it is done.
Store Questions
I've downloaded an album from an online music service but I want the lyrics and artwork that would have come with the CD. Where can I get that shizzle?
Why, right here on the webbernet!
Please see our detailed store FAQ for all store-related questions.
Availability/Distro Questions
Where can I buy your releases in my town?
Depending on where you live, G7 releases may be really easy or really hard to find. The best thing you can do for us is to ask your local independent record store to carry our music!
Although our releases are available in both independent record shops and larger chain stores we strongly encourage folks to buy our stuff from places that honor the spirit of independent music. Needless to say, large corporations and most chains are explicitly linked to many, many very evil multinational corporations with their tentacles in many poisonous pies. It's always best to refrain from lining their dirty pockets when possible. Of course, you can always bypass the whole thing and order from us directly.
Where can I buy your releases online?
The best place to get our shite digitally is our online store. You can get the music the best quality available*, free of any digital rights management, and you support us directly. Of course our releases are also available in MP3 format via the usual (and unusual) suspects whom I likely do not need to name.
* Some of our titles are available in FLAC format through Zunior. We plan to offer the FLAC format through our own store soon!
Who distributes your releases?
In Canada, the weirdlings at Sonic Unyon distribute our stuff. In the US and the remainder of this tired, dying plant, the creepily normal people at the appropriately named Suburban Home Distribution are currently saddled with our audio excrement. In the world of bits and bytes, the dork-faced nerdlings upscale San Franciscers at IODA disseminate our progeny into the ether.
Demo Submissions
My band is so great. No ... seriously, dudes. Can we send you our demo so you can sign us? We'd really love to toil away in obscurity.
Get your head out of your ass. Just because we've put out bad records in the past doesn't mean we're going to put yours out too.
How do you choose the projects you release?
Coins get flipped. Cookies get crumbled. Stars get aligned. Mistakes get made.
