Lost & Found
For a long fuckin time I've heard a lot of people say nothing but bad things about this label. I've just never heard why everybody hates them so
much. Would anybody care to enlighten me?

Ripping off bands or something. Their comps rule though. They put out great released but never paid the bands for them.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I think Lost and Found was pretty much a bootleg label for a lot of the stuff they put out. They put out European versions of discs they didn't have
the rights for etc. I think I have a Lost and Found version of a Converge disc if I'm not mistaken. But from what I remember they specialized in
bootlegs.

yeah - they put out a lot of shit they didnt have permission to put out, and sometimes when they DID have permission, it wasnt legitimate. like
someone who was never in the band signing the release papers.
on an amusing note - lost and found once had a "contest". you had to submit your bands recordings and one band was going to "win" a contract. you
had to sign a contract allowing them to put it out if your band "won". im sure they got lots of bands' stuff that they are holding onto for if/when
those bands become popular enough for them to make a profit off it.
