Slap a Ham Records was an independent label from San Francisco owned and operated by Chris Dodge.[1] The label lasted for about 13 years, officially shutting down in 2002. According to Dodge, this was due because of the September 11 attacks; "After the attacks, everyone stopped spending money" and as a result, Slap a Ham faced stagnate commerce, causing Dodge to go into debt.[2]
