Sister Polygon Records was an independent record label run by the band Priests. [1] The label was based in Washington, DC, and released music by Priests, Downtown Boys, Pinkwash, Knife Wife, and Shady Hawkins.
Priests created the label in 2012 [1] in order to release their first single, the "Radiation/Personal Planes" 7-inch. [2] The second release was a cassette of the New York feminist punk band Shady Hawkins' 2013 album Dead To Me. [1]
The members of Priests ran the label out of their houses and apartments. [3]
The label was interested in offering a platform to artists who might not have another way to get their music out. In an interview with the Washington City Paper, Daniele Daniele said: "We're interested in finding people who are underrepresented or weren't signed, making something weird enough where there might not be a normal outlet for it." [1]
The label went on hiatus, which was announced by Priests on Twitter in 2019. [4] The final album from the label released on September 25, 2020. [5]
Sister Polygon has released music by Priests, Neonates, Shady Hawkins, Carni Klirs, Dudes, Downtown Boys, Pinkwash, Sneaks, Gauche, Hothead, Snail Mail, and Post Pink.
