Let's face it; Lookout hasn't released a really solid album for the past 4 years, and even they they did have some impressive acts on their roster, it was in the past.

 Green Day pulls the plug on iconic Berkeley indie label Lookout over unpaid royalties   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Lookout Records, the Berkeley indie label that helped launch the careers of artists such as Green Day, the Donnas, Rancid and Operation Ivy, laid off its staff this week after Green Day reclaimed ownership of its pre- 1994 work from the label.
According to Lookout publicist Tristin Laughter, who is one of those out of a job, the move came as a result of unpaid royalties on four of the multiplatinum trio's early releases, including 1991's "1039/Smoothed-Out Slappy Hours" and 1992's "Kerplunk!," 60,000 copies of which the band originally sold from the back of a van.
Yet Lookout continued to benefit from the band's skyrocketing popularity as interest in Green Day's older material rose, providing most of the revenue to support Lookout's new signings like Ted Leo, Mary Timony and Engine Down.
