POM Records is a Punk-o-Matic 2 record label started & managed by CheapSushi / TheGhostofRickJames / VideoRoom207. It was made as a way to encourage roleplay in the community, to make the Flash game by Evil-Dog, released on Newgrounds, feel more alive and real, like our own version of the music industry. At the height of POM2 and the highly active forum on POM.net there were around 4/5 music labels, a magazine, Battle of the Bands, Radio stations, Award Shows and many other activities. But as time went on it has slowly disappeared and some of it, like the forums & site itself gone forever. You have to play POM2 to see how much it all offered and how much the community expanded on it all. I was a big part of the community, later an Admin and later worked for Evil-Dog Games and helped push it all. There were many prominent members that also went above and beyond to help facilitate the roleplaying going on, such as helping with illustrations, interviews, reviews, etc. I have tried to keep POM Records alive for as long as possible and its related projects for a bit of nostalgia. But even 13 years later after the release, there is still a dedicated and active community! Some people are original members from years ago but there are newer members too! It's hard to sum up 13 years of game history, and also sum up all the roleplay that went on with POM Records, and its numerous iterations, but I hope this site helps preserve it and shows how awesome Punk-o-Matic 2 is and was.
POM Records welcomes all kinds of bands, genres, people, nationalities, etc as long as the music is made with Punk-o-Matic. Game wise, there's a lot of customization but it's still limited considering it's a Flash game made 13+ years ago. So sometimes people draw their band members themselves or use another program like Illustrator to represent themselves or their band if they can't do it within the game. That's cool with us! POM Records isn't an extensive showing of every POM band ever made, it's just a transient thing that has ebbed and flowed commitment wise, interest wise and helping others who were/are interested. Again, hard to sum up soooo many years, even the gaps of no activity in-between. A lot of people in the community were just kids when POM1 and POM2 came out, some were teens, some young adults and we've all aged & hopefully matured since then. There's also people just discovering the game now thanks to some popular Youtubers. POM Records just ask artists/creators/managers to be good natured, kind and nice overall (even if our fictional bands are kinda assholes). It takes a lot of effort to keep up the site and it's done just for fun, the love of the game & community. So I don't want to spend a bunch of effort on someone really horrible, rude or not appreciative. The whole thing is a bit silly but actually neat too considering what it was built off from. POM,net was a wholesome community and POM Records is an extension of that. So if you're interested in promoting your POM band, connect with me on here or Discord. You can be or represent your band or music how ever you want (with some discretion; no Nazis). Feel free to ask for help in regards to posting or putting together an album or "press kit" for the label, etc!
