Much of the Bong Load Records catalog is released in small quantities. Several bands have very rare releases that are much sought after and command high prices at auctions.
Bong Load Records relaunched on its 25th anniversary in 2016 with limited edition vinyl releases. Tom Rothrock sums up the label "Our core philosophy of the indie label was always about making high quality music with artists who have dedicated their lives to their craft – artists who otherwise might not have been heard."[1]
History [ edit ]
One of Bong Load Records' biggest signings was Beck in 1991. Beck's "Loser " single became the first number one, non-major label single since FM radio became mainstream.[2] Mutations Geffen label. There were a series of lawsuits between Beck, Bong Load and Geffen, settled in 1999, which led to Beck's renegotiation with Geffen.[3] Loser , Mellow Gold Odelay Mutations Midnite Vultures [4]
Other notable bands from the original Bong Load Custom Records include Wool , Kyuss , The Obsessed , Fatso Jetson , Elliott Smith , The Eels , L7 , R.L. Burnside and Lutefisk . Stoner rock band Fu Manchu released their first two albums via Bong Load Records.[5]
