Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins has launched an as-yet-unnamed label with Pumpkins producer Kerry "Studio Dog" Brown, and one of the artists tapped to release material through the label is legendary LA punks The Germs. According to Brown, the label will be releasing two songs that late frontman Darby Crash wrote with guitarist Pat Smear in 1980. Actor Shane West, who portrayed Crash in the Germs biopic What We Do is Secret, will be handling vocal duties for the songs.
