history
Lockjaw Records was founded in Worcester in 1997 by the Turner brothers Samuel, Jim and Ben Turner and their father Jack Turner. The reason was the closure of the Go! Discs , a sub-label of Polygram , on which Tribute to Nothing had been at home until then.
Among other things, the label was responsible for the first release of the then still young muse . Over the years, Lockjaw Records has built a reputation for having a keen sense for hopeful and different-thinking music.
Lockjaw Records now houses up to 30, mostly young bands, which are about to jump on a bigger label.
It is not known whether the name of the label refers to the American tenor saxophonist Eddie Lockjaw Davis .
