Felix Alanis

"I owned a record store and all of a sudden I had a record. You know, why is RF7 anything? The only limit is what you put on yourself." Join Jessica Schwartz and Tequila Mockingbird as they speak with FELIX ALANIS - singer-songwriter of RF7 and founder of Smoke 7 Records - about paving a DIY punk path in the early LA scene and reflecting on its historical importance as well as unpacking his music from the early years to now!


Bio:

In 1979, Felix Alanis co-founded the punk rock group RF7. A year later he started the record label Smoke 7 records as a vehicle to gain visibility for RF7. In 1981 the label released the compilation Public Service which included songs by Bad Religion, Red Cross, Circle One and RF7. The compilation received international recognition and helped establish the label on the punk music stage. Felix and RF7 have continued releasing albums to this day and with the original line up until 2017.
