109: Bob Becker (ex-Fearless Records / Thriller Records)

Send us a text


Bob Becker joins The All Punked Up Podcast this week to discuss
the very early days of starting Fearless Records and how even
though he quit his real job to focus solely on the label on a
shoestring budget, he’s so very grateful for and credits the
early bands he signed as they put the label on the map.

Bob also reflects on the days after running Fearless Records.
Even though running Fearless Records was tough and a grind every
day, and with Bob having the drive and desire that he has, he
just couldn’t stay away from the label side of the music
industry, and Thriller Records was born.

And as with all record labels, there are times when they make the
in-hindsight mistake and wind up passing on signing a particular
band that goes on to be very successful. And Bob is no exception
to that as he missed out on probably the BIGGEST band he could
have missed out on. Oops! Also, Bob teases the next big band
joining the Thriller roster. He gives some hints. Can you figure
it out? Tune in to find out the hints and guess the new signing.
