Smalltown Supersound was founded in 1993 by Joakim Haugland in the small town of Flekkefjord in southern Norway. At the time, the teenage Haugland was an active participant in the town's local DIY scene, centred around the festival Fjellparkfestivalen and the local rock club. "There was no vision and no plan, it was just one of many things I started when I was in my teens. I ran a club, a festival, a cinema club, a management and a record label. I guess the record label was what stuck" says Joakim about the origins of the label. Haugland founded the label to put out music by local indie and lo-fi bands, with the name being a combination of "smalltown" (referring to Flekkefjord) and "supersound", inspired by the fictional radio station K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s in Quentin Tarantino's movie Reservoir Dogs. The acronym and label catalog number "STS" was an homage to the influential American independent record label SST. More information...
