Unfortunately, one of the high school kids that worked there (a kid that everyone hated) took about 45 of the 50 posters, and covered an entire wall in the store with them, using staples.

They had so many great bands on the label, yet I know nothing about them.

i think they're a puppet label of some major or some bullshit.

start drawing lines in the sand don't be shocked when you can't move.

Matador was started by Chris Lombardi in 1989 in his New York City apartment. The following year, Lombardi was joined by former Homestead Records manager Gerard Cosloy, and the two of them have run it together since. In 1993, the label began a partnership with Atlantic Records which lasted for a couple of years. Then in 1996, Capitol Records purchased a 49 percent stake in Matador, but Lombardi and Cosloy bought it back in 1999. It has been co-owned by the Beggars Group since 2002 and now operates in both New York and London.
