Bloodshot Records is a Chicago based independent record label that was founded in 1993. The founders of this label decided that there needed to be a home in Chicago for music that combined the attitude and music of punk with that of country, folk, and bluegrass. As early as 1995 they decided to use the term "Insurgent Country" to describe the catalog that they offer.

Bloodshot is the current home to talented recording artists such as Alejandro Escovedo, John Langford, the Old 97s, and many, many others.
