The label has worldwide distribution and is mainly orientated towards Indie rock music.

Another project is the release of Dean Fertita's (Queens Of The Stone Age, The Dead Weather) solo album under the name of Hello=Fire. ==Biography== Damien Nicholas DeRose grew up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, a small town where he began writing and recording in his bedroom in High School. Before he began to take his music seriously, Damien and a good friend dropped out of High School to buy a sailboat in California. When they arrived at the boat, they were told it had been sunk by Sea Lions earlier that year and was in quite bad shape. The boys returned home and after a breakup, and a falling out, the boat was resold and Damien began focusing full-time on Peasant. He first toured the greater part of the U.S. in 2005 with just a guitar and a few home recordings. The following year he self released his first collection of recordings and toured the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Upon returning home, Peasant toured the U.S. a second time, and ended in Canada for Montreal’s 2006 Popfest. Soon after the Popfest he signed his first official record deal with Paper Garden Records and began recording On The Ground with Paul and Ryan Cobb (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club et al.) ‘The Cobbs’. On the Ground, was released in 2008 on Paper Garden Records. The album was distributed through Conor Oberst’s label, Team Love.

In 2010, Peasant released his 3rd album, "Shady Retreat", which was entirely recorded on his own and was also featured on a number of network shows including ABC's Private Practice. In 2012 Peasant released Bound for Glory on Schnitzel Records. Shortly after, MTV featured Peasant’s ‘Amends’ on its Stop/Watch program, where DeRose debuted his band at MTVs Time Square Studio. The newly formed live band appeared on BBC Radio with Marc Riley while on tour in the UK and sold out shows across the continent from Zurich to London. Music from Bound for Glory has also been used by NBC’s Parenthood, CBS’s The Good Wife and ABC’s Private Practice.
