File 13 released the Towncraft compilation 3 years later. ![]() // Step By Step played our first show in 1989 opening up for some Nashville band called Rednecks In Pain at DMZ. We were really nervous the whole set. I walked offstage unsure of our performance. Surely everybody thought we sucked. The first person I saw was David Burns. He gave me a File 13 sticker and asked if we wanted to have our demo available through the label. I wound up helping out a lot with the label over the next few years. I remember being blown away that we got mail from around the globe. // Created by Hatful Day members David Burns & Jason McCloud, File 13 Records's cassette-only label helps organize the burgeoning Little Rock music scene. // David Burns had money that he could use to put out records. They put out a Hatful Day demo and 7 inch and Displaced Aggression demo that they sold at the mall. You could go to Discount Records and pick up the new Fugazi, the new Trusty, the new Hatful Day, and you bought it from Paul Bowling, the bassist for Trusty, which was intimidating as hell, thinking, "I hope he thinks these records are cool". At the time it just meant that you had a record you could buy. But for us, there was no distinguishing between Hatful Day and Fugazi. they weren't on different levels. ![]() Trouble submitting your story?
