Hunter S. Thompson once said that “The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.”. On the other end of the spectrum, Will Killingsworth from Clean Plate Records states on his web site, “If you want something sleek, professional, and glossy you are going to have to look elsewhere. There are no pretensions here, just a stupid label with some stupid records. If I were you, I’d find this honesty refreshing.” I’d like to think that our philosophies on running a label exist somewhere near the fine line that separates Hunter Thompson’s experiences in the corporate music industry and Will’s refreshingly “who gives a shit” DIY attitude.

TDB Records has been active since 2003 when Jonah Livingston (Backstabbers Inc., Ramming Speed) dropped out of the music industry program at Northeastern University. Growing from humble aspirations, TDB has become an internationally rostered, solidly distributed, full time project based in Boston, MA. Joined in 2006 by Northeastern Political Science major Caitlin Kelly, the label has taken on the goals of not only releasing passionate and intense Metal and Hardcore music, but also keeping political, social, and environmental concerns a priority. We make every attempt to work with companies that have positive environmental practices, work with local artists, do benefit events, and generally pull our weight.
