In other Iodine news, the label is beyond excited to announce that Boston's Big Wheel Recreation will be joining the team. The iconic independent record label started in Boston in 1994 by Rama Mayo, and went on to release. some of the most highly influential punk, hardcore, and indie albums ever. Bands such as Jimmy Eat World, Jejune, Fastbreak, Piebald, At The Drive In, Hot Rod Circuit, Ten Yard Fight, Braid, and many more called Big Wheel Home.

Big Wheel Recreation ia partnering with Iodine Recordings in 2025 with plans to remaster and reissue many BWR releases, both digitally and on limited vinyl pressings. Over the next few years, Iodine will dig into the extensive Big Wheel archives and fans can expect to see much of the Big Wheel catalog available again for the first time in decades.

For the team at Iodine, this is very much a "full circle" moment, as Big Wheel was a big influence on why the powers-that-be started a record label. And in the early days of Iodine, Big Wheel taught the team a lot of what it needed to know to run a successful label. To come back almost 25 years later and have the chance to work together on a massive archival project is a very special thing for all involved.

"I had no idea how important these records were going to become while we were making them," says BWR owner Rama.

And now, this partnership will allow these important records to live on and resonate with a new crop of music fans.
