Burger Records shuts down after bands & employees accuse bosses of sexual misconduct

California garage rock label Burger Records has at first announced "major structural changes" following accusations of sexual misconduct associated with artists and employees at the label, Brooklyn Vegan reported, but it seems the label is completely shutting down. Label co-founder and president Lee Rickard was stepping down, co-founder Sean Bohrman moving "into a transitional role", and the label itself has also announced it's changing its name to BRGR. Jessa Zapor-Gray was to assume the role of interim label president. Total Trash Productions, who produce Burger Boogaloo festival, have issued a statement saying they have severed ties with Burger Records and will be changing the name of the festival. However, as Pitchfork reports, Bohrman announced that the label will instead shut down completely.
