While commiserating one evening over dinner over the lack of label representation in the Southwest, friends Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World and Charlie Levy, a well-connected music promoter, decided to start their own label.[3] Their chief goal was to showcase Arizona's fledgling talents through a steady slate of CD, EP, vinyl, and 7-inch releases,[3] and to focus on releasing Jimmy Eat World records on vinyl.[4] Their first releases included EP by the Format, a vinyl version of Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American, and The Bull, the Balloon, and the Family by Reubens Accomplice.
Even though Western Tread expanded over time, it remained strictly a part-time venture for both Adkins and Levy.[1] This label now appears to be dormant. While being interviewed by Matt Pryor of The Get Up Kids during his Nothing to Write Home About Podcast, Adkins stated that the label is not exactly dead, but, at this point, serves only as a catalog of music.[4]
