No Idea Records is an independent record label with its office in Gainesville, Florida, producing both vinyl records and compact discs. They also organize The Fest, an independent festival featuring over 100 punk and related bands in over six venues.

No Idea Records started out not as a record label, but as a zine in 1985, published independently by Var Thelin and Ken Coffelt and some friends of his from high school. By the seventh issue, in 1989, Var was doing the ‘zine with Sara Dyer and other contributors and collaborators. For the sixth issue, he decided to start including 7 inch records with the zine. The first one featured a local Gainesville band called Doldrums, and the second was a split 7”, one side of which belonged to now Bay Area legends, Crimpshrine, one of the early bands of Aaron Cometbus. Since its beginnings, No Idea has remained a foundation of the Gainesville punk scene which is considered by many to have spawned its very own style of punk rock, commonly referred to as beard punk.
