The Gist of It.

The Folk Routes Anarchist Networking and Distribution Syndicate is a cooperatively run and owned entity functioning out of Massachusetts. We provide outlets for radical bands, artists, thinkers, and livers to organize, get in contact, and disseminate information. While our focus is currently on the east coast, we will not be limited by physical space. The money we charge goes directly to the creators of the wares and music we carry, any supplemental charges are kept to the absolute minimum and are necessary to continue to provide our services. We run collectively and collaboratively, and insist on free downloads and open information in order to help break down proprietary boundaries. We do other things - work other jobs, pull other stunts, busk - to pay for rent, our own cds, and fill our bellies; this is not our income, this is our passion!

We put out a monthly zine detailing affiliated bands and artists, and providing a place for people to contribute stories/articles/comix/etc. We would love for you to contribute!

We are looking to open a physical space! This will include a venue for music, a zine library, a free store, community space...


If any of this is appealing to you or someone you know, please feel free to send us an e-mail (folkroutes@gmail.com)! We'd love to hear from you, and like to work with you even more.


(Please don't even consider contacting Folk Routes if you/your music/art supports sexist, rascist, ableist, ageist, or bigoted patterns of thought.)
