history
Chicago is an exciting place to be a music fan. It's a place that makes you a music fan. Around 2002 or so, it dawned on us that there was a lot of incredible music that needed to be released, and we were needed to release it. So we were called into being. Our first release was the Swansea Mass “silver venus” seven-inch in early 2004. Since then, we've managed just under one release per year; this, we admit, has been somewhat short of our ambitions, but, we think, still respectable.

demo policy
Loud Devices is a very small label. We simply don't have the resources (neither time nor money) even to release all the records we already know we'd like to release, let alone material we haven't yet heard. Even with unlimited resources, there's a lot of material out there, some of it incredibly good, that we'd never be interested in releasing. That having been said, if you've got something you think we'd be interested in, do feel free to let us know about it. Sending us an e-mail is probably best, but please don't include audio files as attachments. Links to web sites, myspace pages, or other places we can give a listen to a track or two are welcome. If that doesn't work for you, go ahead and send a CD demo to the PO Box. We may or may not ever have time even to listen to unsolicited submissions, let alone actually reply to you. Under no circumstances will we be able to return an unsolicited demo to you. In the unlikely event that we get around to listening, love what we hear, and think it fits with what we want to do and can actually afford to do, we'll be in touch.
vacancies and internships
There are currently no opportunities for employment or internships at Loud Devices, nor do we expect there to be anytime soon.
