About Me

Put this little fella on your Myspace page. It's cute!

I love Poverty Records

We are Poverty Records, a proud, independently owned and operated record label based out of Pasco County, Florida. We'd like to thank you for visiting our little piece of MySpace. We truly do appreciate all the support and feedback we receive from all of our friends on Myspace. Feel free to leave us a comment or send us a message. We always try our best to reply back whenever possible.
Though Poverty Records may not be the biggest record label out there we can't help, but pitty those poor fools who've underestimated us as force to be reckoned with. Since we started this train wreck in 1999 we've seen labels come and go, but we are still here and we don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
Poverty Records represents artists and labels of all genres. CLICK HERE
Many of you may not be aware, but Poverty Records also runs their own distribution. If you are a band or a small label planning on releasing an independent album and you'd like to have it distributed, both digital and physical, please contact us. We may be able to help you self release your album.
Fill out a Distribution Submission Form to the best of your ability and mail it to us c/o Distribution, along with a copy of the Cd you wish to have distributed. Any questions? Feel free to email us at: [email protected] CLICK HERE Poverty Records is also distributed by Catapult Distribution.
For those of you who wish to be kept updated about all Poverty Records affiliated shows and events in your local area join our mailing list . We promise not to clutter your mail boxes and emails with useless SPAM or junk mail. Though we may send you a post card or flyer from time to time just to make sure you are well informed about the things going down in your town.
