Who? TTR is run by Sam Brams and Dan Timlin out of southeastern PA. Twist Tie was originally created to release and distribute Meat Rainbow releases, but grew to accomodate friends of Meat Rainbow too. Josh Heake deserves a namecheck for selling things.

The official roster:
Meat Rainbow, still making at-times goofy garage rock
Zac Herring (Von Arx), with killer the killer ambience
Rachel Burgos, collaboratin', not hatin'. sometimes poetry
And His Orchestra, Ricky Reedy, Pots, Pans, Horns, Keyboards and whatever he finds party with Audacity
Canisdeus, Meat Rainbow's sister band featuring funk monks John Kelsey, Zak Theis, Dan Timlin and Jason Ellis
Ignix, Mike Horwitz's sweet rhythms accompanied by Ukelele, Organ, Piano, and occasionally, Vocals.
