Plan-it-X was started in 1994 by Sam and Chris Johnston (AKA, Chris Clavin), and released tapes by bands from Indiana. Chris began running Plan-it-X and in 1995, the label released its first record. The label was based out of Bloomington, Indiana until late 2005, when it relocated to Olympia, Washington. Plan-it-X continues to release music by Chris Clavin and his friends around the world.
