RidingEasy Records, based in Southern California, specializes in the heavy, proto-metal sounds that dominated the post-hippy/pre-punk era.

Daniel Hall, a music industry insider and long-time vinyl collector, founded the label almost on a whim, when he discovered the then-unknown Swedish band, Salem’s Pot, and collaborated with them on a vinyl release of their first album.
