Lauren Records is an American independent record label founded in Southern California in 2011. The label mostly specializes in indie rock, emo, and other melodic punk rock adjacent genres.[1]
History
After a few years booking shows and tours for local bands, Lauren Records was formed.[1]
The first release was a compilation LP called I Think We Should Stay Away From Each Other featuring groups like AJJ, Japanther and Joyce Manor.[1] Initially supposed to be a home duplicated cassette with just local friends’ bands, as more bands expressed interest in putting a song on, it went from almost being a CD to just being an LP.[2]
As of 2017 the label was still a one person endeavour.[1]
