| 3 | Touch and Go Records is one of the most important labels in the HardcorePunk, PostPunk and NoiseRock genres. |

| 5 | The imprint began as a UsefulNotes/{{Michigan}}-based punk fanzine that was started in 1979 by Tesco Vee (of Music/TheMeatmen) and Dave Stimson. In 1981, T&G evolved into a record label that was co-run by Vee and Necros bassist Corey Rusk. In 1983, Vee moved to UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC and gave ownership of the label to Rusk, who eventually moved T&G to UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} and has run the company ever since. Under Rusk's leadership, T&G signed such leading underground acts as Music/BigBlack, Music/ButtholeSurfers, Music/TheJesusLizard, Killdozer, and Music/{{Slint}}, among others. While Touch and Go has curtailed its activities over the last few years, the label still exists, albeit mostly through reissues. |
