[1] In 1977, Danzig founded Blank Records as a means to distribute music by his newly formed band, The Misfits.
However, after only one release, The Misfits' first single "Cough/Cool" (1977), Mercury Records had wanted to use the same name for a sub-label.
Danzig traded Mercury the rights to the name for studio time, which The Misfits used to record Static Age.
[2] The label continued to release material by The Misfits, and later solo efforts by Glenn Danzig and his post-Misfits band Samhain.
[1] In 1995, due to a legal settlement between Danzig and Misfits bassist Jerry Only, the label was discontinued.
