Waterdog Records is the hub for Ralph's creative output. It is where he records his albums, shoots his videos, and organizes his equipment. We are excited to be expanding the range of projects we'll be tackling, and look forward to keeping you up to date. Waterdog Records originated as an independent label in the 1990's that Ralph used to release and market The Bad Examples' albums and other artists he believed in, and has grown and evolved over the years both to reflect changes in the industry, and changes in Ralph's business needs. In 2016 we broadcast one of the first ever Facebook Live music concerts, and have hosted many more since.

Our studio is based on a love of old-school analog sounds and tones. We record vintage instruments with Pro-Tools digital clarity. We have a great microphone collection, and racks of vintage tube pre-amps, compressors, and EQs. We like to think of ourselves as Abbey Road stuck in a time machine, but on an indie budget. Whether you're looking for delicate, gossamer sounds, or a crunching throb of rock gristle, we have the gear, the ears, and the flexibility to make it sound great.

We are not:    
Dark.
Smelly.
Too cool for school.                                                                                                                                        We are: Waterdog
