About

where the information comes from

Discogs' public data shows which styles a label releases, which bands it has put out, and whether it is still active.

MusicBrainz gives us links to a label's own pages, and often its country.

We have also read each label's own pages. The description of their sound, their latest releases and the line about demos come from there.

Label data from Discogs (CC0 data dump) and MusicBrainz (CC0).

which labels are here

Only independent labels. A label that a major record company owns more than half of is left out, with its imprints. Distribution by a major is fine.

A label needs a couple of releases in the last twelve months to be added. A label that has gone quiet since may stay, with a note saying so.
