Touch and Go Records, founded in 1980 by members of the Ohio punk band Necros and fanzine creators Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson, initially focused on releasing 7-inch vinyl singles from the Midwest hardcore scene. Over the years, the label evolved to encompass a broader range of genres, becoming a pivotal name in the independent music landscape while also providing manufacturing and distribution services for numerous like-minded labels.

In the '90s, Touch and Go expanded its operations, releasing influential albums from iconic bands such as Slint, The Jesus Lizard, and Shellac, eventually relocating to a more suitable warehouse to accommodate its growth. Despite personal and professional changes among its founders, the label has maintained a commitment to fostering innovative music, marking a significant presence in the indie music community.
