Indie Distributor Lumberjack Mordam Goes Under
Independent distributor Lumberjack Mordam has gone out of business. Effected are more than 100 mostly punk and hard core record labels. Sources tell Hypebot that a number of the labels were left with $30,000 – $50,000 in unpaid invoices, an amount that can be devastating for a small label.
We're working on a more extensive story including quotes from some of the indie entrepeneurs effected. Until then here is a partial list of effected labels via Punk News.
More than 100 independent labels were partnered with LMMG at one point or another. Among them are 1917 Records,
