TAANG! started originally as a singles-only label in 1984, signing various Boston-area acts. By 1989 TAANG! had its two biggest college radio releases by The Lemonheads and Bullet Lavolta which were simultaneously #1 & 2 on the charts. Soon thereafter they signed The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. After moving from Boston to San Diego, the label continued its focus on Boston-based bands and in 2007 signed new bands, such as Everybody Out (featuring Rick Barton of Dropkick Murphys) and So Cal’s Evacuate, releasing their debut in 2009. In June 2010, Detroit-based band Negative Approach joined the TAANG! family.
In the mid to late 1990s Taang! put out fifteen releases that sold well in US chain stores. After moving from Boston to San Diego, the label continued its focus on Boston-based bands such as The F.U.’s, The Proletariat and The Next. In 2007, the label signed new bands, such as Everybody Out (featuring Rick Barton of Dropkick Murphys) and So Cal’s Evacuate, releasing their debut in 2009. In 2010, Taang!’s releases included UK-based The Newtown Neurotics, early label recruits Kilsug, Oysters, Gang Green and Attitude Adjustment. In June 2010, Detroit-based band Negative Approach joined the TAANG! family.
