Party Smasher Inc. is an independent record label founded by Ben Weinman of the Dillinger Escape Plan in 2009.
Commenting on the dissolving "indie band culture", Weinman stated, "back in the day there were record labels that you trusted, loved and you bought everything on it and you discovered a lot of great new music because of it.
[Laughs] It's more a situation where we now have a name for this umbrella that covers every business and artistic decision we make–whether it's Dillinger, side projects or whatever.
Martin Goldschmidt, Chairman of Cooking Vinyl, said: “Ben Weinman and his team at Party Smasher Inc. have evolved their own multi-faceted, unique creative universe.
The world needs them and we will bring them to the world.” Howie Gabriel, from the newly launched Cooking Vinyl America, concluded: “We’re excited to have Party Smasher Inc.’s DIY ethic, along with Cooking Vinyl’s independent focus to bring both labels to a larger global audience.”[8] The first release through the Party Smasher label was the Dillinger Escape Plan's fourth studio album Option Paralysis, the album was released in partnership with Season of Mist.
