About Me


Punktastic Recordings is a record label based in Scunthorpe, UK, and formed in June 2004. We have released 13 CDs and counting. We have three members of staff - Paul, Mark and Andy.
You can get our records from our own webstore, http://punktastic.bigcartel.com If you want to stock any for your distro/stall/shop please get in touch!
We currently only accept demos from bands initially providing us with a myspace link. If we like what we hear we will ask for a CD. We try and listen to everything as soon as possible, but please bear with us!
Check out our blog as we update it regularly and please do not be afraid to comment, message or add us - we'll always write back!
