rasputin: Australian Underground Labels/distros

rasputin 04.12.11	I'm sure I've missed a few, like Prime Cuts in Perth or Obsidian in Brisbane, but I don't really check on them anymore.
pillowswantyoursoul 04.12.11	Australia fuck yeah.
Spare 04.12.11	like a bawesese
Mordecai. 04.12.11	red eye records...
Mordecai. 04.12.11	ray from The Hard-Ons had Utopia back in the day that ran out of Sydney
qwe3 04.12.11	oh dude. awesome list.
Deviant. 04.12.11	List is noice
rasputin 04.12.11	anymore suggestions? spare told me about cd wow as well i know a couple from NZ too, but mainly based around their dirty punk/sludge/bm scene (which rules)
Crysis 04.12.11	Sick list, you must get fucked over on shipping costs all the time ordering from the US and Europe.
rasputin 04.12.11	it can get pretty bad when youre ordering LPs plus there's always incentive to buy big so you end up ordering a shitload of stuff and then all your money is gone im lucky enough to be living in a city with almost no good record stores (we have one good one, a few shitty ones), but as soon as undergrad is finished i'll be heading across the nullabor to melbourne
Crysis 04.12.11	I'd kill to have a good, underground metal record store/distro around here that sells 7" and shit. I have a few good independent record stores that have some good stock in terms of the bigger bands in the bm/dm scene but almost none of it is ever too unknown (although I did find that Vasaeleth album as well as Mitochondrion's latest there, they seem to always stock Profound Lore releases). I've briefly looked around Boston (the closest city to me) but I haven't found anything good yet.
MO 04.12.11	I'm gonna look into these, there's only a couple decent record stores left here and they barely carry metal.
GulliKyro 04.12.11	Very nice list.
liledman 04.12.11	awesome stuff. abysmal sounds fucking rules. missing link is a pretty sweet shop in melbourne, and has a website too. you can order pretty much anything from the labels they deal with. its a bit pricey sometimes, but ive found some great stuff there.
rasputin 04.12.11	ahh missling link, that's what it was. i was confusing midnight funeral with missing link. i was taken to missing link once. had some decent stuff but yeah, the prices were crazy. if it's in a store in australia though, you can never expect it to be cheap.
liledman 04.12.11	yeah true. most of the smaller stores in melbourne are very pricey. theres a few cool stores i found through this 'diggin melbourne' record store your thing they had a year or so back, but all the good stuff they had (hard to find stuff) was crazy expensive.
AngelofDeath 04.12.11	This is a really cool and helpful idea for a list. Can't say I've used a lot of small distro sites though. I end up buying on eBay a lot and sites that compile different record stores or private sellers like Discogs and MusicStack. Or straight from the label's site in some cases.
Aids 04.12.11	woah awesome list. I wish I lived in Aus and could check out those labels.
Douglas 04.12.11	swell man, thanks for the post. liledman, melbourne sucks with record stores so much, just try brunswick street... what a nightmare.
Spec 04.12.11	Awesome list. I might have to make one myself.
liledman 04.13.11	and thats why i got a debit card doug

Or straight from the label's site in some cases.' yeah I use ebay a lot too, mostly because I have to. generally I find it cheaper and better to buy from the band as well, but sometimes that's not possible. 'woah awesome list. I wish I lived in Aus and could check out those labels.' i could do a similar list except 10 times bigger for american ones that are just as good if not better, so there's no real loss on your part =P
TheyTookErrJobs 04.13.11	THANK YOU DUDE! AWESOME LIST!
Deviant. 04.13.11	There was a great little record store where I live that had some incredibly hard to track down vinyls, and just stuff that i would otherwise would've had to have paid a small fortune to get them shipped from overseas. Honestly, I do get annoyed sometimes when artists tend to release music in such a format (7" vinyl/cassette etc) and make it difficult to get a hold of
Aids 04.13.11	"i could do a similar list except 10 times bigger for american ones that are just as good if not better, so there's no real loss on your part =P" make it Canada and we've got a deal
Awesomesauce 04.13.11	Missing Link used to be great, not so much any more. It's still OK but I haven't been in there in ages. Rare Records is pretty cool but pricey, and they just shut their brick-and-mortar shop in St. Kilda last year. I tend to buy a lot of my vinyl stuff online with a couple of mates and we split the shipping 3 ways. Much cheaper. Do the same with skateboards too.
rasputin 04.13.11	what sort of places do you buy online? (sort of the point of the list)
rasputin 04.14.11	fucking bump come on fags help me spend more money
AngelofDeath 04.14.11	Pretty sure it's not Aussie, but ever visited Kreation Records' site? They've got some pretty large selection of good/hard to find stuff on there.
DBlitz 04.14.11	awesome list will look into these
dimsim3478 04.15.11	Dude, you missed El Shaddai Records (a Melbourne independent label, released House vs Hurricane, Forgiven Rival, He Is Legend, To Speak of Wolves, and many others)!
Douglas 04.15.11	yeah liled, but my debit card hates me because i spend to much money with it. ahah
liledman 04.16.11	haha yeah no shit, im the same
spongie68 07.05.13	i buy a lot from grindhead records(sydney),and they have an awesome,cheap webstore.they also usually add extras too.run by a guy named bubsy.
