Lauren Records is an American independent record label founded in Southern California in 2011 by Aaron Kovacs. The label mostly specializes in indie rock, emo, and other melodic punk rock adjacent genres.
Kovacs had experience booking shows and tours for local bands before he founded Lauren Records in 2011.
The first release was a compilation LP called I Think We Should Stay Away From Each Other featuring groups like AJJ, Japanther, Fishboy, and Joyce Manor. Initially supposed to be a home duplicated cassette with just local friends’ bands, as more bands expressed interest in putting a song on, it went from almost being a CD to just being an LP.
As of 2017 the label was still a one person endeavour.
