Payseur had also spent much of his time in the Captured Tracks main office early on in Beach Fossils' career. In an interview with [[Tidal (service)|Tidal]] in May 2017, Payseur was asked how he got into the music industry and what motivated him to begin his own label. He explained, "I was always in the office. I didn't know anything about how record labels were run at all. Early on, Mike Sniper was showing me stuff. He took me under his wing in a way. But the thing for me is not thinking of it as a music industry or a music business; I feel like those words have certain connotations that really turn me off from the whole thing."<ref name="read.tidal.com">{{cite web|last=Ehrlich|first=Brenna|date=May 9, 2017|title=Label Focus: Bayonet Records|url=https://tidal.com/magazine/article/label-focus-bayonet-records/1-37955|publisher=[[Tidal (service)|Tidal]]}}</ref> Mike Sniper is the much-respected owner and founder of Captured Tracks. He also went on to mention influential record labels [[Stones Throw Records|Stones Throw]] and [[Rough Trade Records|Rough Trade]] as inspiration for how he runs and operates Bayonet, "I was always really inspired by Stones Throw and early Rough Trade. Just the way they were run. It just felt like more of a close-knit community or artist collective rather than this faceless, anonymous brand. It wasn't even about a brand. It was just about getting people together and making shit happen."<ref name="read.tidal.com"/>
The couple have frequently stated that they wanted to make sure their "indie rock" label signed artists of all styles, not restricted by perceived genre. Payseur says he was drawn to the artists he's signed simply because they've moved him with their music.<ref name="auto1">{{cite web|url=https://www.postandcourier.com/charleston_scene/beach-fossils-on-why-indie-rock-is-meaningless-and-embracing-the-cringe/article_2232ce00-30bb-11ea-b02e-03568ad5035c.html|title=Beach Fossils on why indie rock is meaningless and 'embracing the cringe'|last=Oyer|first=Kalyn|website=[[Post and Courier]]|date=January 14, 2020 |access-date=November 23, 2020}}</ref> Since its inception, Bayonet has made a name for itself signing and releasing records from the likes of Beach Fossils, [[Frankie Cosmos]], [[Jerry Paper]], [[Kevin Krauter]], Laced, [[Lionlimb]], Red Sea, and Warehouse.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bayonetrecords.com/pages/artists|title=Artists|website=Bayonet Records}}</ref>
