Matador Records is one of the most iconic and influential labels in alternative music. Founded in New York in 1989, Matador became a defining force in the indie rock explosion of the ’90s, building a catalog rooted in originality, experimentation, and uncompromising artistic vision.

From the slacker cool of Pavement and the raw intensity of Guided by Voices to later landmark releases from Interpol, Queens of the Stone Age, and Perfume Genius, Matador has consistently championed artists who reshape the boundaries of independent music. Across decades and genres, the label has remained synonymous with authenticity, creativity, and a fiercely independent spirit.

With one of the most celebrated catalogs in indie music history, Matador continues to influence generations of artists and listeners alike. You can dive into the full Matador Records collection here.
