The Los Angeles area, home to countless labels including Epitaph Records and Vagrant Records and bands like Bad Religion and Social Distortion, is apparently running into problems with the city's lack of support for underground music. According to an editorial written by Danny Dismal for City of Devils, over the last few months, the Knitting Factory has closed, the Black Castle has announced it is closing, the Relax Bar has reduced its schedule to just Saturday nights, Martin DePedro's warehouse venue was shut down, and even Metal Mondays is taking time off.
