The little label that could, armed with twang, sweat, and absolutely zero quit.

Bloodied But Unbowed: Bloodshot Records' Life In The Trenches (2006)

underdog energygrainy authenticitypunk ethos

Overview

Music

Bloodied But Unbowed chronicles Bloodshot Records' 12 years (and counting) in the trenches of independent music. It's a world where it's easier to take down an M-1 Abrams tank with pub dart than get noticed and appreciated by the mainstream. Here you'll find the highs, the lows, the humiliations and the triumphs. It's an inspirational tale of the ages for anyone foolish enough to want to start a record label.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Trivia
