Drag City Records
 
This Chicago indie label began in 1989 when friends Dan Koretzky and Dan Osborn, who had been working in independent music distribution, decided dive into the DIY trend and start a label. Since their first two releases, singles by Royal Trux and Pavement, the duo has overseen more than 200 releases, creating a portfolio of dynamic music including trendsetters Jim O’Rourke and David Grubbs that has charted the growth of the independent music scene. This explains how one label can re-release work by art-rockers Red Krayola, put out discs from home-recording revolutionary Smog and make forays into publishing. Acts like Faun Fables and Weird War are new signings to keep an eye on. (Patrick Sisson)
