Interviews: Brent Eyestone (Magic Bullet Records/Forensics)

For almost fifteen years now, Brent Eyestone has been a busy dude. In 1996, he started his own label, Magic Bullet Records, and put out Boy Sets Fire‘s first cd, This Crying, This Screaming…. Since then, Eyestone has expanded his operation and now runs the label in conjunction with Magic Bullet Skateboards in Fredericksburg, Virginia. While Magic Bullet isn’t necessarily a household name, a few of its artists-i.e. Charles Manson, All-American Rejects-certainly are. Don’t let those two names shape your opinions though. Eyestone’s Magic Bullet roster is chocked full of punk and hardcore mainstays, and all sorts of interesting side projects and reissues. Punknews interviewer, Michael Dauphin, recently caught up with the no-bullshit Eyestone to discuss his label, the artists and the shape of independent music.
