Delayed Response is the small label I play around with, releasing tapes by bands of my friends or bands that I am in to. It's purely a hobby thing, I don't make any kind of profit from it, nor do I have any pre determined release schedule. I put out stuff when I feel the urge and if my finances permit. I don't think that the label is worthy or established enough to have it's own URL or anything of the like, so I've decided to use this sub page of Skull Fucked to detail any relevant information in direct relation to the label. If you want to get in contact email me at- seaniandawson@outlook.com
