Housepig

Housepig is an American independent record label and mail-order operation focused on noise, experimental and underground music. Its official website functions as a combined news page, catalog, discography and order desk, selling limited-edition cassettes, vinyl and merchandise directly to listeners in the United States and worldwide. The label's catalog is built around small, hand-numbered pressings — for example, cassette editions limited to 100 copies — and it has released titles by artists such as Bastard Noise, Bachir Gemayel and Juhyo. Housepig also maintains a Bandcamp presence where rare and out-of-print titles are offered for free streaming and download, extending the reach of releases that are no longer physically available. The label's identity is closely tied to the DIY noise and experimental scene, with a mail-order model that ships internationally and prices items in US dollars with postage-paid (PPD) rates for domestic and world customers. Because it operates at a small scale, Housepig is best understood as a niche independent imprint rather than a mainstream commercial label; its releases are aimed at collectors and dedicated fans of noise and experimental music.

Housepig is an American independent record label and mail-order operation dedicated to noise, experimental and underground music. Public information about the label is limited; it is described in structured data sources simply as an "American record label," and its own website serves as the primary record of its activity. The label's official site combines news releases, a catalog, a discography, an order page and audio samples, indicating a direct-to-listener mail-order model rather than distribution through mainstream retail channels. Housepig's catalog is characterized by small, limited-edition physical releases. Among the titles highlighted on its site are a Bastard Noise Skull Sticker Set — vinyl stickers die-cut into the iconic skull shape associated with Bastard Noise's Eric Wood, offered in approximately 3" x 3" and 8" x 8" sizes — and a cassette from Bachir Gemayel titled "Walls Of War," described as scathing sheets of static and noise, limited to 100 pro-duplicated copies split between 50 red and 50 green tapes. Another release, Juhyo's "Grave Mistake," was issued as a double-A-side split with Hear More! Records, limited to 100 copies with 50 Housepig editions and 50 Hear More! editions, and featuring the Juhyo composition "Buddhist Violence." The Juhyo set is noted as having been taken on tour with Bastard Noise in 2007, tying the label's output to the touring activity of the noise scene. Beyond physical mail order, Housepig has embraced digital distribution through Bandcamp, where it uploaded various out-of-print titles for free streaming and download. This includes long-gone releases from artists such as Juhyo and Oblong Box, allowing the label to keep otherwise unavailable material accessible to listeners. The combination of limited physical editions and free digital access reflects the label's position within a DIY, collector-oriented underground music community. Because Housepig operates at a small scale, detailed corporate information — such as a founding year, founder name, headquarters address or ownership structure — is not established in the available evidence. What is clear is that it functions as an active American independent imprint and mail-order outlet, selling directly to customers in the United States and internationally, with prices quoted in US dollars and postage-paid rates for domestic and world orders.
