History

Kovacs had experience booking shows and tours for local bands before he founded Lauren Records in 2011.[1]

The first release was a compilation LP called I Think We Should Stay Away From Each Other featuring groups like AJJ, Japanther, Fishboy, and Joyce Manor.[1] Initially supposed to be a home duplicated cassette with just local friends’ bands, as more bands expressed interest in putting a song on, it went from almost being a CD to just being an LP.[2]

As of 2017 the label was still a one person endeavour.[1]
