Mission Freak Records

Welcome to the home of Mission Freak Records. We are a label based out of Iowa City, Iowa. We are staffed by the same folks who run the Mission Freak Blog and the annual Mission Creek Festival (music and literature) in Iowa City. There are several bands on our roster, many of them from the state of Iowa, though our tastes extend beyond this state. We love a lot of different types of music: noise, pop, electronica, guitar rock, keyboard, minimalist rock, bands without drummers, bands with lots of drums, and solo artists working with a single guitar or a bedroom full of pedals. Our varied interests are represented in our roster. We release albums on CDs, Cassettes, Vinyl, and digitally — whatever works for each artist. Check out our roster and also stop by these other awesome Iowa City labels: Night People Records and Scenester Credentials.
