Sargent House. The Independent Label Stable Lands In Chicago Lincoln Hall.

From Omar Rodriquez Lopez (Mars Volta) to Russian Circles If you aren’t familiar with the independent label Sargent House you’ve been missing out on a most eccentric collection of music. 

Their artist roster is stocked top to bottom with smart & distinctive bands that range from folk to metal and every weird thing in between. The man looming at the top of the roster, Omar Rodriquez Lopez (The Mars Volta), lends a noticeable luster (and hints at the weirdness of the whole team). But the true beauty of Sargent House is their depth. As long as you’ve got a yen for discovering strange, new music it’s just one amazing band after another as you flip through their Bandcamp page, where every album from the label is available for purchase or free stream. The diversity is remarkable.

That diversity is on full display when three of Sargent House’s bands comes to
