the heckabad mission Heckabad Music is
committed to bringing you music. We've been doing just that since
1992, when 4-track cassette recorders ruled and indie rock wasn't a
genre yet. We'll never claim to have the next big thing, nor
will we pressure you to buy any stuff. We are merely committed to
bringing you music. We are an independent record label. We are a
collective of musicians. We produce music. We distribute music. We
believe in the live performance. We pine for the relationship that
existed between performer and audience before the advent of the
phonograph or the wire or the wax or payola. We'd like to think that
a snipet-in-time, stagnant, recorded album of songs does not even
approximate the expansiveness and the experience that music could
and should be. But albums are still cool. We occasionally wax
philosophical about the marriage of words and music. We will
not forget that lyrical song was born of an oral tradition of
storytelling, and we try our best to maintain and nurture that
tradition. We shy from using genres to label our artists. Listen,
and label them yourselves if you must. Our goal is knowledge. To
seek out brave new stuff, to go where few indie-kinder have gone
before...just like the good boat Enterprise. We are not Trekkies,
but that was a good show.
other things we do
Heckabad is the
proud sponser and internet host of the 52 Week Club; a collective of songwriters bent on
going insane. They don't have any money and many of them are artists
whom we've helped record their music and promote their existence. We
are happy to do what we can, and were super excited to host their
webpages and help put on events to showcase their talents. Check the
52 Week Club out.
Heckabad showcases an ever-growing list of artists. Please visit
our artists page to see who is doing
what, and what is on the horizon.
