Our purpose is to support bands that only play open notes in order to reinvent the genre. We do not allow fretting. We feel that metal has become way too caught up with tacky musicianship that oppresses females. Don’t Fret Records plans to bring metal back to the basics and promote a minimalistic approach in order to regain the ears of the opposite gender.
