New Alliance Records was the record label founded by The Minutemen's D. Boon and Mike Watt and longtime friend and associate Martin Tamburovich after the example of Black Flag's SST Records. The existence of SST led Watt to understand, according to a 1987 interview he gave to Musician magazine, how easy it was to get a record made: "All you had to do was pay the record plant man.

  • New Alliance Records was the record label founded by The Minutemen's D. Boon and Mike Watt and longtime friend and associate Martin Tamburovich after the example of Black Flag's SST Records. The existence of SST led Watt to understand, according to a 1987 interview he gave to Musician magazine, how easy it was to get a record made: "All you had to do was pay the record plant man. " Amongst the first releases on New Alliance were Hüsker Dü's first album Land Speed Record and the Minutemen's second-ever release, the seven-inch EP Joy. Eventually the label grew to nurture the early career of the Descendents, issue various-artist compilation albums, and release other recordings by The Minutemen and Hüsker Dü. The label showcased a number of post-punk bands from the South Bay area of southern California, notably Slovenly, Phantom Opera, and Invisiblechains. After D. Boon's car-accident death in 1985 and the increasingly busier schedule of Watt's post-Minutemen band fIREHOSE, Watt and Tamburovich sold New Alliance to SST in 1987. Greg Ginn, SST's owner and Black Flag's guitarist, proceeded to transfer all of The Minutemen and Descendents back catalog and Hüsker Dü's Land Speed Record to SST (The two-track master of In A Free Land was since lost) and turned New Alliance into a subsidiary label of SST that concentrated on jazz, instrumental, and spoken word releases, like Black Angels by Michèlle T. Clinton and Wanda Coleman. Steve Abee, Michael Lally, Henry J. Morro, Marisella Norte and other poets were produced by Harvey Robert Kubernik. Post-punk and rock avantgarde music was made by artists like Martin Bisi, The Blue Humans featuring Rudolph Grey or Jack Brewer (and Bazooka). The existence of New Alliance is currently in doubt, although SST itself still exists; no new titles have been issued on New Alliance for several years, so Ginn may have made the label inactive. Label co-founder Tamburovich died of a bacterial infection in 2003.
  • La New Alliance Records è stata un'etichetta discografica fondata da D. Boon e Mike Watt dei Minutemen insieme all'amico Martin Tamburovich, seguendo lìesempio della SST Records. Le prime pubblicazioni dell'etichetta furono Land Speed Record, primo album degli Hüsker Dü, e l'EP dei Minutemen Joy. In seguito l'etichetta contribuì alla crescita dei Descendents, pubblicando molti dei loro primi album, pubblicò compilation, oltre a The Politics Of Time dei Minutemen e In a Free Land degli Hüsker Dü. Inoltre l'etichetta mise sotto contratto molte band post-punk della California, tra cui Slovenly, Phantom Opera e Invisiblechains. Dopo la morte di D. Boon nel 1985 in un incidente d'auto e la creazione della band post-Minutemen fIREHOSE, Watt e Tamburovich vendettero l'etichetta alla SST nel 1987. Greg Ginn, proprietario della SSTe chitarrista dei Black Flag, acquisì tutto il catalogo della New Alliance, inclusi i lavori di Minutemen, Descendents e Hüsker Dü (da allora due tracce di In a Free Land furono perse e mai più ritrovate) e trasformò l'etichetta in una sussidiaria della SST, pubblicando con essa principalmente jazz, rock strumentale e spoken word. Al momento la New Alliance non pubblica album da anni, sebbene l'etichetta madre SST esista tuttora; potrebbe quindi essere che Ginn abbia deciso di non utilizzare più l'etichetta. Il cofondatore Martin Tamburovich è morto nel 2003 per un'infezione batterica.
