The Company

Pleuracanthus Records was created by DDDJJJ666 and Magnolia Bouvier to release things we want to force on others. Why such a stupid name? Well, Pleuracanthus was the genus name for a prehistoric shark that lived during the Devonian and Triassic periods. It was a shark with a FUCKING UNICORN HORN growing out of its head. The genus name has since changed, just like all the other dinosaur stuff I was lied to about in elementary school in the 70's. I refuse to recognize its new genus name. Especially because, when I was 5, I had a (literally) 6 foot long stuffed snake (not a euphemism) that I named Pleuracanthus, SO THE NAME STAYS!

In those heady, pre-Jaws days, all we had was unicorn sharks to give us hope. Like the coelacanth, I am convinced some will turn up still alive, and then we will have one as a pet and be BEST FRIENDS!

The label plans on issuing new things, and reissuing old things. Because reissuing new things is currently impossible. More to come soon.
