Staple News is an independent reference magazine about punk, emo, and post-hardcore music, run by Amanda Graves. We write for listeners working through a band’s records and readers tracing the labels, releases, and scenes around them.
Records and scene history
Our guides cover album sequences, changes in band lineups, release history, and vinyl editions. Dates and credits come from cited label catalogs, official release pages, recorded interviews, and release documentation. We separate those facts from listening recommendations.
The editorial standards explain our source checks and corrections process. Send a specific correction through the Contact page, including the article URL and the source we should check.
About the domain
The staplerecords.com domain was acquired for this publication after its earlier use. The acquisition covers the domain. It does not give us ownership of the former site’s writing, photographs, recordings, or release catalog.
Staple News has no affiliation with the original Staple Records label. The current publication is independently operated and has no official connection to the bands, labels, or publications discussed in its articles.
