ASAURUS RECORDS

Asaurus Records is a painfully small CD-R label that was founded in December 2001 by Matthew Baringer and Corey Williams in the suburbs of Detroit (which are quite nice, actually). Since 2006, we have been headquartered in various Athens, GA bedrooms. The day-to-day operations are undertaken entirely by Matthew and this stresses him out sometimes. All of our releases come inside packaging that is handmade to some degree. The music we focus on could be described as indie pop, lo-fi, and/or quiet noise, but we also find enjoyment in many other genres.

While the label initally started with zero ambition (or ideas), over the years, with the support of many wonderful people, it has blossomed into a full-fledged DIY business that ships packages full of handmade records all over the world daily. Its OK to refer to us as the Wal-Mart of CD-R labels.

Ultimately, Asaurus Records is run by artists and musicians and we are only interested in putting out awesome records that truly benefit both the bands and the label. Our plate is currently full, so please note that we are not looking for any new bands/projects at this time. Please stop sending us demos, we'll let you know if its ever OK again.
