Small Stone Records Co

Formed in 1995 in response to the sad state of the airwaves and the ever-increasing stagnation of the college rock scene, Small Stone Records has only two simple ethe: to be a thorn in the side of the marginalized corporate vacuum that has become the music industry, and to put out great fucking records. Artists include: Acid King, Five Horse Johnson, Porn (The Men Of) and The Glasspack. Detroit's Small Stone Records has served as the benchmark for underground rock since it was founded in 1995. Originally envisioned as Detroit's answer to Sub Pop, Small Stone has since branched off into a multitude of directions, unafraid to push the boundaries of conventional genre definitions. Bands like Roadsaw, Dozer, The Brought Low, Milligram, and Solace have put the “classic” into rock and metal and up-and-comers like The Mos Generator, Ironweed, Shame Club, and Sasquatch aren't that far behind. If there's a constant theme to the label, it's quality over quantity. This is The Home of the Riff.
