Merge Records: "mutual admiration society"

Legendary Label born from a Legendary Act.

The owners of this label are known for supporting those artists that they respect. And this in turn comes back to them from the kudos (and contracts) heaped by bands all around the world. With a pioneering spirit, Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan's efforts have expanded from a few boxes to a multi-staffed enterprise. Known as champions of local undiscovered talent, this Durham, NC company (by way of Chapel Hill's Tobacco Road) has passed on the secrets of indie-success based upon their own experiences with Superchunk.
