<p>The first band on the Kinda Vague Records roster is Pinetree Janitorial Service, a project spearheaded by founder Robert Dixon. Their debut EP from 2018 will be the first release in our catalog.

<p>The initial roster will consist of two bands, Pinetree Janitorial Service and Circles We Draw. New singles from each will be released on Halloween in addition to the existing EP from Pinetree Janitorial Service.</p>Kinda Vague Records
