Mutant League Records is an American independent record label based in Chicago. Established in 2012, Mutant League has released albums for seminal pop-punk groups such as Seaway, Belmont, and As It Is among others.[1] As of 2022, the label has sold over 250,000 albums worldwide.[2]
Owner Nate Steinheimer commented on the label's inception, "I spent my weekends sweating through Descendents T-shirts in crowded Chicago basements [...] I aim to house artists that influence people to become as passionate about music as I was growing up."[3] In July 2013, Mutant League announced their partnership with Sony RED and fellow Chicago label Victory for worldwide distribution.[4]
The label contributed music for the soundtrack of the 2018 Xbox One/PlayStation 4 title Mutant Football League, which included tracks from Seaway, Belmont, Vacant Home, Ambleside, & Lucky Boys Confusion.[5]
Following the dissolution of Victory Records in 2019, Mutant League moved under the umbrella of Sony Music subsidiary The Orchard for distribution in North America.[6] The label celebrated their 10-year anniversary with a string of Midwest tour dates in the summer of 2022, which featured Settle Your Scores, Chief State, and Wilmette.[7]
