Shearwater is an indie rock band formed in Austin, Texas in 2001. The band was founded by Jonathan Meiburg and Will Sheff, who were already acquainted from their time together in Okkervil River. They were later joined by Kim Burke on bass and Thor Harris on drums and vibraphone. With the addition of Howard Draper, Shearwater transformed into a tightly focused rock band.

Known for their unique sound and powerful performances, Shearwater has drawn comparisons to other artists such as Midlake, Okkervil River, Great Lake Swimmers, and Damien Jurado. Their music captures a sense of introspection and emotional depth that resonates with listeners.

With influences ranging from folk to indie rock, Shearwater's discography showcases their versatility and artistry. Fans of bands like Phosphorescent, Other Lives, Magnolia Electric Co., Songs: Ohia, Ramona Falls, Sun Kil Moon, Lost In The Trees will find themselves drawn to the captivating melodies and thought-provoking lyrics of Shearwater's music.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)
