Ruthless Records was an independent label run as a cooperative of The Effigies, Naked Raygun and Steve Albini (Big Black). After the release of their Haunted Town EP, the Effigies were dissatisfied at the way Autumn Records handled their expenses and decided to start their own label. Naked Raygun and Big Black came on board shortly after and all three acts worked together to get their initial records released. It wasn't really a company or anything of that sort, just a way for these bands to get their records out.
