"Well-traveled folk that's both hick and haunting. There's something strange in the water and Lindsey's drunk it up," writes Rolling Stone of folk-rock artist Graham Lindsey. Known for his dark razor sharp lyrics, or what the Chicago Sun Times has called his "roadmap of the human condition," Lindsey's most recent offerings, We Are All Alone In This Together and it's counterpart The Mine EP, earned praise from the likes of Uncut and Q Magazines for the raw, stripped down approach he takes to American roots music. 
At age 12, The Onion explains, Lindsey "was a member of the world's youngest punk band, Old Skull. His solo material couldn't be further from those days, though: He now plays dark Americana informed by his travels around the country." The now 35 year-old Lindsey first garnered widespread critical acclaim for his 2003 debut, Famous Anonymous Wilderness, and achieved similar success with the world-wide release of follow up Hell Under The Skullbones in 2006. His songs have been featured in several independent films and appear on a slew of compilations, most notably Bloodshot Records For A Decade of Sin: 11 Years of Bloodshot Records, and Danielle Colby Presents: The Music of Farmageddon Records Vol. 1. 
Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact. Armed with a guitar, banjo, and an arsenal of harmonicas, Lindsey also performs with a drummer, his wife Tina.

Sean Eamon was born in Butte, Montana and raised in Anaconda, Montana. 
He’s not trying to be anybody, he’s just singing these songs. 
These songs about living here and the people who live here.
He works at the state mental hospital and sings in the bars.
The music is definitely western, with Irish on top of it.  
Like the town and the people.
Soaked in whiskey and steeped in sin and redemption, the songs tell you about it…
Just a guy with some stories to tell, listen up.

In an age where record labels are folding up right and left, one after another on a daily basis, Farmageddon Records was born. It started in 2009 when three good friends unknowingly would be recording the first album in the Farmageddon Records catalogue, Jayke Orvis "It's All Been Said" Darren D, owner of Farmageddon Records, and friend Johnny Lawless took a road trip to Pittsburgh to visit Jayke Orvis, after a night of hanging out, Darren approached Jayke about recording a solo album. At that point in time, Jayke had just parted ways with The .357 String Band, and had also joined forces with the Goddamn Gallows. Darren had faith in Jayke though, he knew that he was sitting on a pile of great songs that might have just wound up in a shoebox in a closet somewhere if something wasn't initiated.

Jayke was interested in the project and the idea of a solo album, but was concerned about how this was going to even happen, money and self esteem were low at that time. Darren and Johnny were sitting on a little bit of money, and chose to fund the recording of this album. A few phone calls were made to a few friends, and in a matter of two weeks Jayke Orvis was in Rebel Roots Studio in Richmond Virginia a few weeks later to begin the recording process. It took about 3 months to get all of the recordings done, and when it was done it wasn't the end of a recording, it was the birth of a new record label, Farmageddon Records.

Since then, the label has rapidly become popular among the Roots Music Underground, but has also started to leak into the mainstream a little, this music has soul, a lot more than what people are hearing on FM Radio these days, it's the real deal, real music. The great thing about the label is that it is more of a co-op than a label, people working together to make it happen, it is the most non-traditional record label in history, it's more of a family than anything, a real dysfunctional family, it's why people can relate to it so well. The label, by no means is getting rich, monetarily speaking, but it is rich in family and love, people fight like brother and sister.

Since it's conception, the roster has changed many times, but the core group is still there, and the label continues to grow, including the addition of the now annual Farmageddon Records Music Festival. The future is looking bright for the label, and all of the talent under it's umbrella, stay tuned!
