Formerly known as The Dallas Pro-Drag Allstars, Pro-Drag were a loud, hard-rocking Wellington-based Rock’N’Roll combo who put out releases on the lo-fi Stink Magnetic tape label. Band member (and Stink Magnetic label founder) Dylan Herkes described the group as ‘Hawaiian Industrial’.
Fantastic DIY record label formed by Dylan Herkes in 1999. Originating in small town Manawatu, Stink Magnetic released hand-made Cassette Tapes by a diverse array of underground New Zealand acts: “NZ garage, surf, Hawaiian industrial, experimental country disco, Spaghetti Western, esoteric trash, rap and stone-age punk bands”.
