Sister Polygon Records

Sister Polygon Records is an independent record label run by the band Priests.[1] The label is based in Washington, DC, and has released music by Priests, Downtown Boys, Pinkwash, Shady Hawkins, and others.

History

Priests created the label in 2012[1] in order to release their first single, the "Radiation/Personal Planes" 7-inch.[2] The second release was a cassette of the New York feminist punk band Shady Hawkins’ 2013 album Dead To Me.[1]

The members of Priests run the label out of their houses and apartments.[3]

The label is interested in offering a platform to artists who might not have another way to get their music out. In an interview with the Washington City Paper, Daniele Daniele said: "“We’re interested in finding people who are underrepresented or weren’t signed, making something weird enough where there might not be a normal outlet for it.”[1]
