Homestead Records was a Long Island, New York–based sublabel of music distributor Dutch East India Trading that operated from 1983 to 1996. While the record label was renowned for releasing work of artists such as Sonic Youth, Big Black, and Dinosaur Jr., the label was known for its poor communication with artists and not paying royalty checks nor promoting albums.
