Flight 13 Records

Flight 13 Records is a German independent record label based in Freiburg im Breisgau. The same name also covers a mail-order business and a physical record shop. According to German Wikipedia, managing director Tom Haller founded the label in the mid-1980s under the name Weed Productions as an outlet for his own bands Scarecrow and Laika. In cooperation with Ritchie Records, Flight 13 Records has released and continues to release albums by artists such as Die Aeronauten, 206, Bernadette La Hengst, Oiro, Kristof Schreuf, Das Blanke Extrem, Schalko and The Maladro!ts. Since 2007 the office and the associated record shop have been located in the Stühlinger district of Freiburg. The label's focus is on punk rock, hardcore, garage rock and records in general. A mail-order catalogue is published quarterly and sent by post to more than 6,000 recipients. The official website presents Flight 13 as an online shop for vinyl records, CDs and more, with sections for new releases, pre-orders, exclusive and limited items, special offers, new in stock, a Flight 13 Winery, an art-shirt collection and gift vouchers. The shop highlights releases from international artists and labels, including Lambrini Girls, Chelsea Wolfe, Farin Urlaub, Emma Ruth Rundle, Protomartyr and Brian Fallon, often offering exclusive or limited vinyl editions for the German market. This retail and mail-order operation is closely tied to the label identity, making Flight 13 a combined label, distributor and specialist retailer for punk, hardcore, garage and alternative music. As a private independent business, Flight 13 Records is not listed on a stock exchange. Its owner and managing director is Tom Haller. The brand operates primarily in Germany and serves an international mail-order customer base, with a quarterly printed catalogue and an online shop. Its long-running presence in Freiburg and its focus on physical records have made it a fixture in the German independent music scene.
