What Happened to Maritime Fist Glee Club, and Where Is Anvil Salute Now?

Updated

Maritime Fist Glee Club (MFGC) is no longer active. The label's own site states plainly that "MFGC IS DEAD" and that it ceased operations quite some time ago. If you arrived looking for music from the label or its artists, the site redirects you to Anvil Salute, which it says still exists "sort of," and points to that band's website and Bandcamp page.

What the MFGC site actually says

The site is now a single, short notice rather than a catalog or storefront. Its key points:

  • Status: The label is defunct — operations ended "quite some time ago."
  • Remaining act: Anvil Salute is named as the one project still around, with the caveat "sort of," suggesting limited or intermittent activity rather than a fully active band.
  • Where to go: Visitors are directed to Anvil Salute's own website or its Bandcamp page.
  • Sign-off: "Over & out." — the page functions as a closing notice, not a forward-looking hub.

There is no indication on the page of current releases for sale, contact details for the label, or a roster of other artists.

Where to find Anvil Salute now

The MFGC notice gives two routes, and they serve different purposes:

Route What it's best for What to expect
Anvil Salute's website General info about the band The MFGC page itself puts "web site" in quotation marks, hinting it may be minimal or outdated
Anvil Salute's Bandcamp page Listening to and possibly obtaining music Bandcamp pages typically host streaming and release listings, though availability isn't confirmed by the MFGC notice

Start with Bandcamp if your goal is to hear the music; use the band's website if you want background or contact information. Because the MFGC page describes the band as existing only "sort of," treat both links as leads to verify rather than guarantees of an active presence.

If you're researching MFGC rather than looking for music

Expect little to find on the label itself. The current site preserves only the closure notice — no discography, history, or artist list. For a fuller picture you would need to look beyond the site: archived versions of the old pages, the Bandcamp listings of acts associated with the label, or secondhand write-ups. The notice confirms the outcome (closed) but not the timeline or the reasons.

Quick answers

Is MFGC coming back? Nothing on the site suggests it. The message is a permanent closure notice.

Can I still buy MFGC releases? The site no longer sells anything and offers no store links; check Anvil Salute's Bandcamp for whatever remains available.

Is Anvil Salute still active? The label says the band still exists "sort of" — enough to warrant a link, not enough to promise regular activity. Verify on Bandcamp before planning around new releases or shows.
