About

Over the past thirty years, the Suicide Squeeze roster has grown from a stable of regional indie rock bands into a diverse, international array of artists. The current line-up includes the ecstatic Southern feminist garage rock of The Coathangers, the ripping riffage and psych mysticism of Death Valley Girls, the smoky reverb-drenched noir rock of L.A. Witch, the irreverent bedroom-pop confessionals of Julia Shapiro, the ethereal folk and dubbed-out ballads of Julia, Julia, the melancholy Midwestern instrumentals of Six Parts Seven, the legendary Revolution Summer-style emocore and Olympia indie pop mash-up of Lync, the witty introspection and gentle guitar charms of Chastity Belt, the subversive technicolor subterranean pop of Holy Wave, the unglued artcore of These Arms Are Snakes, the cerebral futurist pop inventions of Minus the Bear, and the riotous rock n’ surf revival of Guantanamo Baywatch, and the spellbinding doom-laced shoegaze of Blackwater Holylight. In addition, the label has issued one-off releases by the likes of luminaries such as Elliott Smith, Modest Mouse, Kevin Morby, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett, and Ty Segall. In 2026, the city of Seattle proclaimed August 20 as Suicide Squeeze Records Day, honoring and celebrating the label’s 30 years of independent endurance, its contributions to Seattle’s music community, and its continued influence on artists around the world.
