Great Big Mouth Records is a record label based in Des Moines, Iowa, owned by Corey Taylor, frontman of Stone Sour and Slipknot.
Initially, Great Big Mouth Records was created in a partnership between Iowa natives Corey Taylor and Des Moines local act Facecage (including the Facecage management - Denny Harvey of the (515) Management Group) who were the first act signed to the label, to release "Facecage III", which was produced by Taylor.
Great Big Mouth Records is designed as an independent self-financed record label, operating outside the usual channels of the mainstream music industry. They aim to focus on grass roots promotion and artist development of mid-western based acts that would usually be ignored by the mainstream record industry.
Harvey outlines the business model as: "Grass roots yet high tech. We are going to combine the D.I.Y ethics of the older independent labels with the new technology available to us today. Eventually, we hope to make a big enough dent to secure major distribution. Until then, we will focus on internet sales and independent promotion."
