Siltbreeze is an American independent record label based in Philadelphia . It is known for its eclectic roster of artists and releases of experimental , noise , folk , and rock-based music. Founded in 1989 by Ohio native Tom Lax, the label evolved out of a zine of the same name which he published from 1987 until 1992. The first label release was a Halo of Flies EP, and soon after, Lax produced a steady stream of record releases by the Dead C , the Gibson Bros ., Sebadoh , the Strapping Fieldhands , Harry Pussy , Jim Shepard, and Mike Rep among others throughout the early and mid 1990s.
