We love seeing our favorite bands move on to bigger and better things. This is exactly why JAXART started 4 years ago – to serve as a stepping stone for truly deserving musicians to move on to the next level.
We are insanely excited to annouce JAXART alums RACES’ have recently signed to Frenchkiss Records and will be releasing their debut full length on the label this fall. No doubt in my mind that big things are in store.
Angelenos – Come celebrate with the band every Monday this month at the Bootleg Bar where the band will be hosting a Free Residency in partnership with The Fold and 88.9 FM KXLU. The lineups are nothing short of SUPER STELLAR so we hope you come early and stay late!

Aww shucks! Big thanks to the fine folks at LAist for doing a wonderful feature on JAXART Records!! Head over to LAist to read an in depth interview with JAXART founder Ashley Jex.
Huge thanks to Molly Bergen for conducting the interview and the amazing quote!!!
“If Wonder Woman had hung up her cape and chosen to give up her life of fighting crime and instead wanted to get into the local music scene, she may have asked some pointers from Ashley Jex. At the tender age of twenty five, Jex has created a local music empire. Not only has she launched a very influential record label, JAXART out of her living room, she still makes time for her music blog,Rock Insider, and her band The Monolators, and somehow her day job.” [READ MORE]
