Give and Take records

About Me

Give and Take records was started in 1999 and we are based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Since then it has been a reliable distro and we did a few releases here and there, each of which we managed to send all over the world for distro. Our distro is still going strong and we're doing more regular releases now. Our philosophy with releases are simple we'll release any good, real, positive Punk/Hardcore band. We don't care where its from or whether it would ever bring us any gain as long as its good we'll release it. We're not in it for the bucks we're in it to build the scene and we'll push bands that we think are building the scene. We're always dead keen to check anything out, please send us a demo!! If you're a good Punk or Hardcore band, your DIY ethics are in check and are easy to work with we'd love to help out!CONQUEST FOR DEATH TOUR SA!!!!Fri 12th Oct - London calling (JHB) w/ Swivelfoot, Touched by Nausea, The Highway casino.
