Subvert Recordings

About Me

SUBVERT RECORDINGS is a record label run out of Cleveland, OH. Our vision is to enable local musicians to record at minimal costs, allowing them to get their music out in the open, free of the typical restraints(cost, censorship, acceptance, reputation, etc.) of commercial record labels/production companies. Any profit made at Subvert does NOT go back into our individual pockets; rather, all income goes directly back into the label to update/maintain equipment, promotion, etc. We are a DIY indie label run by three friends inspired by the underground sounds of northern Ohio and we are committed to bringing this sound to the forefront of the local scene. At this point, we are relatively new and spread out over the state of Ohio(Cleveland / Toledo areas), but are branching out. If you know of or are in a band that might be interested in working with a label like ours, feel free to contact us. We are trying to document the indie/punk/experimental scenes in Ohio and beyond, but try to maintain an open mind and ear to all music, regardless of genre. In our future, we would like to sponsor and distribute art, photography, and zines created by local artists. Be sure to check back for updates.
