Punknews Records
On January 1, 2006, Aubin Paul, Adam White and Scott Heisel, who comprised the website's primary editorial staff in the early part of the 2000s, launched Punknews Records, an imprint under Epitaph Records. When it was active the label released albums from Somerset and Ryan's Hope.
The label is currently inactive (Somerset broke up in early 2008 and Ryan's Hope is no longer a part of the label). On Punknews.org's formspring.me site, Adam White responded to the question of what happened to the label with the following:
Ultimately PNR was the result of a distro deal Aubin, Adam and Scott struck with Epitaph. Epitaph was fantastic about the whole thing, but in the end we didn't feel it was right to keep sinking our and their money into a venture that we weren't able to make sustainable.During their years of activity, they released two albums: Somerset's Pandora and Ryan's Hope's Apocalypse in Increments.

“Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
