We chose the name because... well, hell. We're a bunch of scrubs. Always have been, always will be. No matter what. We give the underdogs a group they can relate to.

We play as many shows as we can, but it takes some serious balls to have us perform at a club. This music is unedited, off the hook, and definately wild.

Hell yeah it does. People can whine about mp3s taking all their money all day long, but they have to realize it will always be that way. So good artists gotta embrace it like we have, and use the internet to spread our music worldwide.

It depends on how they would handle us. We aren't out there to change our music, style, or content. If they're cool with what we do and won't edit us, then hell yeah. But good luck finding that in this cut-throat business.

MadHatter and his bandmate Wicket started an act called Shadow Puppets, an underground storytelling group, in 2001. It got Hatter's feet wet and gave him a taste for the scene.

The Puppets broke apart after a year to move on to better things, and Scrub Club Records was born. Hatter, now a solo artist, continued to rock shows and promote, slowly bringing together a family-sized crew that would die for the cause.

Today, the label sports 3 other artists, 2 crew members and MadHatter himself, each person with a different style and story to tell.

Scrub Club has a hard work ethic that most emcees and bands nowadays just wouldn't be able to handle. Blood, sweat, and tears is the cliche' that everyone at this label lives by.

We truly do this for the love and NOT the money!

Musical influences are so varied with this music. Hatter was raised on every single style of music imaginable with a father who owned a studio and a Mother who loved anything with a beat. We're lovers of both higher-level hip-hop and heavy metal/industrial music, and the music certainly shows a wide variety of audio to listen to, something anyone can relate to that loves this wide world of music and self-expression.

Our favorite spot without a doubt is Kansas City, Missouri. As we walk down the streets around Troost and meet all the people chillin on the streets, we can feel a family we haven't tapped yet. And with excellent brokedown venues like El Torreon, the big city just can't be beat.

We use all sorts of programs to create music, from key programs to sythesize keyboards like Cakewalk to beat makers such as Fruityloops and Acid... finishing it all up in various mixing programs. I LOVE making keyboard beats, but coming across the keys is rare with my budget.

Thanks for supporting this fresh, original music. We're taking over the underground, city by city! Know the name. This is the No Dough Movement!
