Who We Are

Leave It At That Records is an indie emo label launched in 2023 by Ric Slager and Carly Smith in Chicago. Each of our speciality release packages includes a high-quality cassette coupled with a matching, full-color zine dedicated to the band and professionally designed in-house. We’re always looking for new music, so feel free to reach out to us here if you have something to share.

Now Playing

For the very first time, the debut EP from Columbus, Ohio's Manor Gates is now available in physical form! Originally released in the summer of 2022, Nothing Changes Except What Has To is a lively emo masterpiece that packs big breakdowns, endless riffs, and on-brand emo introspection into a tight 15-minute runtime. You can also grab a Leave It At That Records Chicago Dawg t-shirt (designed by our good pal Ryan Troy Ford) and a LIAT logo koozie while supplies last.
