Started in 2004, Flatspot has consistently been a vital source of what’s new and next in the world of hardcore and heavy music. The label spans a vast catalog; with early releases from heavyweights like Trapped Under Ice, Backtrack, and Mizery, to the forefront of this decade’s new crop of breakout bands like Scowl, Zulu, and Speed. Flatspot has also boosted itself as a platform for rising and established bands alike through the release of The Extermination Compilation series, featuring exclusive track contributions. The dedication in keeping their ear to the scene has allowed the bands on their roster to form a sense of community, often touring and playing festivals together. The community aspect expands to the label’s worldwide fanbase and presence as well, having collaborated with international artists and labels. After almost 20 years as a label, Flatspot Records are setting their sights big in 2022. Having no intentions of slowing down, they are only adding fuel to the fire that is Flatspot Records.
