====== The Furnace Room ======

|**Name:**| The Furnace Room |
|**Founded:**| 1987? |
|**Founder:**| Steven Mathewson | 
|**Location:**| East Canton, Ohio, USA |

The Furnace Room was started and run by Steven Mathewson (aka A Red Cup of Tea), member of [[35 Little Ducks in a Basket]] and co-editor of //The Rain// magazine. Mathewson's band practiced in the furnace room of their parents' basement, thus the name of the label. [[Chris Yambar]] was also involved with art, promotion, and various other ways. John Mathewson and Kris Barnette (aka K.Kjell of //The Nonconformist// zine) were also involved, with [[IDY]] helping out with tape duplication. At some point, [[Marc Plainguet]]'s [[Corpqii Productions]] took over most of the label's catalog.
