Wiki

Bad Afro Records is an independent record label based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The label was founded in 1996 with the purpose of releasing rock’n’roll, punk, surf and garage rock from the Scandinavian countries + Finland. In the early years the label worked with bands such as The Hellacopters, Turbonegro, The Nomads. The Flaming Sideburns, Backyard Babies, Sweatmaster, The Defectors, The Burnouts, Ricochets, Mother Superior, 22 Pistepirkko and Silver as well as many other bands pretty much in the same vein.

From 2002 and on Bad Afro slowly took a bend towards psychedelic rock and the label is currently working with artists such as Baby Woodrose, The Setting Son, Dragontears, On Trial, Serena-Maneesh, Radio Saigon, The Vambourines and Telstar Sound Drone.

After 13 years of “Pushing Scandinavian Rock to the Man!”, as the original slogan goes, the label took another turn and decided that it was too boring only releasing music from Scandinavia. In came the Dolly Rocker Movement from Australia and The Mojomatics from Italy and there is more to come. Next up are Cosmonauts and Royal Baths, both from the US.

Bad Afro loves vinyl and all releases are released in this format. Which does not mean that Bad Afro oppose digital music. Bad Afro is connected to iTunes, Amazon, E-music, Klicktrack, TDC PLAY, FNAC, WIMP, Spotify, Napster, Rhapsody, Nokia and many, many other digital shops.
