Gravity is an underground independent record label from San Diego.[2] It was formed in 1991 by Matt Anderson, a member of the influential underground band Heroin.[3] It has been central in developing and promoting the "San Diego sound" – an idiosyncratic form of post-hardcore with loose, chaotic musicianship and vocals, initiated by Heroin, Antioch Arrow, and Clikatat Ikatowi, as well as Mohinder from the Bay Area and Angel Hair from Colorado.[4][5] The sound is associated with the first wave of screamo, and the label played an important role in the development of post-hardcore in the 1990s.[4][6] Gravity has also branched out into other forms of experimental or independent music, releasing seminal early works by Unwound, Black Dice, The Rapture, and a full-length from Man Is The Bastard.
