Eyeball Records

Eyeball Records is an independent record label based in Northern New Jersey, formed in 1995 by Alex Saavedra.^[1] They have released albums by artists such as Thursday, My Chemical Romance and Murder by Death.

Eyeball Records also had an imprint label Astro Magnetics, which was owned by Eyeball Records manager Marc Debiak, Alex Saavedra and Thursday's Geoff Rickly.

Eyeball Records is also home to the Eyeball Alliance, a team of fans who support and promote the label through online marketing.

On April 17, 2007, the music sharing blog Kinixtion was shut down after being sent a letter by Eyeball Records. The webmaster deleted the blog and sent an apologetic letter to the label. Eyeball Records also sent a letter to many peer labels in an effort to fight music piracy.^[2]
