I freaking love the info provided by Beau Beasley, main man behind Heavy Leather, so hell, I’m just going to paste it in here:
asshole record label, started by an asshole, to release shit records by assholes for other assholes. i dont listen to demos. i only release shit from bands i know.
I definitely couldn’t sum up the label’s ethos any better than that. Beasley’s been pretty relentless since starting the label, cranking out a good dozen releases in just a year or three, all by raw, ear-destroying, heavy-ass bands like (his own band) The Homopolice, Golden Axe, or, on the more noise-fixated “Heavy Leather Cassettes” side of the enterprise, Future Blondes and Concrete Violin.
To contact Lazy Squid, you may have to send an email to lazysquid (at) sbcglobal dot net for their current releases. The juno dot com email listed here is no good. Don’t know about the PO Box. No web site right now, either.
They put out at least one Rotten Piece CD in 2010, and there are probably more.
My label is offering up some of their back catalog from the 1990s, mostly the Sad Pygmy releases. And if you don’t mind me plugging that, it’s http://maydayrecords.com/lazysquid_catalog.html.
