Warcon Enterprises is a New York based independent record label focusing on mostly post-hardcore, started by Bob Chiappardi of Concrete Marketing and Kevin Lyman in 2004. Warcon was a sponsor of the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour. Warcon is distributed through Alternative Distribution Alliance and Fontana Distribution.
Warcon Enterprises closed its doors in late 2008. There were several attempts to re-finance the label which failed. Jim Chambers (GM), Stu Fine (President), Kyle Roeger (Head of new Media) and Hadley Poole (Head of PR/Video) were all that were left in the end. Each were slowly laid off except Jim Chambers who "kept the lights on" to handle any logistical issues.
Chambers was quoted in several music blogs referring to the demise as unfortunate and disheartening. Jim Chambers, Bob Chiappardi and Kevin Lyman all still remain friends and colleagues working within the music industry.
