K Records is an Independent Record Label in Olympia, Washington , co-founded, owned, and operated by Calvin Johnson , formerly of the bands Cool Rays , Beat Happening , The Go Team , The Halo Benders and presently in the band Dub Narcotic Sound System . Inspired by Sun , SST , Rough Trade , CJ Records, Bomp! , Dischord , and many others, Johnson started the label originally with the simple intention of making his friends' music available to the world,http://www.adequacy.net/interview.php?InterviewID=28 but over time its reputation grew. The K motto is "exploding the teenage underground into passionate revolt against the corporate ogre since 1982 ." The label has been so influential in Anti-corporate Independent Music and Underground DIY Punk Culture , particularly in the Olympia Music Scene , that it was the subject of a documentary directed by Heather Rose Dominic entitled ''The Shield Around the K'', with a Tagline of "Do It Yourself".http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286958/ ARTISTS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH K RECORDS
