The band released the ” Statues ” single on their own Reflex Records in January 1981. Playing a show in Chicago brought them to the attention of Black Flag . When Hüsker Dü were ready to release their first album Land Speed Record , Black Flag’s label, SST, was not able to release it at that time and pointed them to the Minutemen who did release it and the 7-inch EP ” In a Free Land ” on their label New Alliance Records . The band was hoping to release their next record, the mini album Everything Falls Apart , on SST, but the label still wasn’t in the position to do so and they ended up putting it out on Reflex. SST was finally able to release their next record, the Metal Circus EP, in 1983.
