East Side Records

East Side Records is a German independent record label founded in 1997. It is a DIY punk rock label that releases almost exclusively vinyl records. The label initially released material by German punk bands, including the compilation "Im Zeichen des (Pleite-)Geiers," which featured mostly unknown artists, as well as releases by bands such as Die Schwarzen Schafe and Ungunst. By 1998, it had expanded beyond Germany, releasing the debut album by the British band Barnstormer, the first band of solo artist Attila the Stockbroker. In 2000, the label released the debut work of Trashcan Darlings, a band that would go on to heavily influence the label's catalog. East Side Records is known for its musical diversity within the punk genre, and all of its vinyl releases are limited, pressed in quantities of a "Schnapszahl" (a number composed of repeated digits). The label's roster has included Trashcan Darlings, Attila the Stockbroker's Barnstormer, Kaltfront, Momo Lamana, Die Schwarzen Schafe, Ungunst, Bottles, Sick, Inkomplex, Machtwort, and The Revolvers. The label has an official website and maintains pages on MySpace and Facebook.

East Side Records was founded in 1997 as a D.I.Y. punk rock label specialising almost exclusively in vinyl releases. Its early output focused on German punk bands. Among its first releases were the 'Im Zeichen des (Pleite-)Geiers' samplers, which featured largely unknown artists, as well as records by bands such as Die Schwarzen Schafe and Ungunst. In 1998 the label expanded beyond Germany, releasing the first album by the English band Barnstormer, the first band of solo artist Attila the Stockbroker. A significant turning point came in 2000 with the first release by the Trashcan Darlings, a group that would strongly shape the label's later portfolio. Throughout its history, East Side Records has been characterised by musical diversity within the punk genre. All of its vinyl releases are limited, with pressing quantities set to a 'Schnapszahl' (a number composed of repeated digits). The label has released records by Trashcan Darlings, Attila the Stockbroker's Barnstormer, Kaltfront, Momo Lamana, Die Schwarzen Schafe, Ungunst, Bottles, Sick, Inkomplex, Machtwort and The Revolvers.
