"Flameshovel records was born in the fading daylight of the summer of 2000, in order to put out a Cd EP for friends Judah Johnson. Originally based between Chicago, iIlinois and Brooklyn, New York, Flameshovel later consolidated its impressive A&R forces in the Ill-noise.

The Flameshovel team is one part Jesse Woghin, and one part James Kenler."
