By day, Mike Mowery is the CEO of Outerloop Management (whose clients include Periphery, Silverstein, and Refused) and Outerloop Records (whose roster include Ice Nine Kills, Youth In Revolt, and more). But if you were around in the 90s, you might know him as Mike Phyte, the hardcore kid who put out records by bands like Botch, Endeavor and Champion, and a member of the band Good Clean Fun.
