Headquarter Records, also stylized as "Head¼," was an American DIY independent label, established by the co-founding member of the At The Drive-In, guitarist Jim Ward, and based in El Paso, Texas. In 1999, the label released 1637549 LP, a debut record by the eponymous band, De Facto, recently co-founded by Jim Ward's cousin, sound designer and "vocal operator" Jeremy M. Ward (1976—2003), and fellow At The Drive-In bandmates, guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala. The following year, Headquarter Records released 3015440 CD EP, a reissue of ATDI's long out-of-print 1995 seven-inch with a bonus track. (Both records were produced in extremely limited runs, and became sought-after rare collectibles.) According to Ward's June 2002 interview with Sparta for Splendid online magazine, he attempted to launch an eponymous live music venue and record store under the "Headquarter" brand, which "turned into a gigantic disaster" and led to "lot[s] of money lost […] and friendships burned." Shortly after, Jim co-founded Restart Records with Paul Hinojos.
