Prank Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prank Records is a hardcore punk record label based out of San Francisco in the United States of America. They have existed since 1995, actively releasing hardcore punk bands on vinyl and in CD format, with over 80 releases. Started by former Auburn University WEGL 91.1 FM radio DJ, Maximum Rock and Roll columnist and reviewer , former 924 Gilman Street booker and long time Mordam Records employee Ken Sanderson. Modeling the label after classic 1980's punk labels like Pusmort and OVer The Top , the label focuses not only on its immediate local San Francisco Bay Area punk scene, but also bands from the owner's Native Southeast and additional points around the globe.

In 1995 Prank hosted the first Japanese Hardcore band to tour in the US, a brief mini-tour by Tokyo Band Assfort which paved the way for multiple tours of Japanese hardcore bands in the US, including one the following year by Japanese Punk Legends Gauze. The next year the band began its association with southerners His Hero Is Gone and Damad who's dark, low end distorted records for the label helped affix " The Prank Sound" associated with the label. In 1997 and 1998 prank hosted two "prank fest" Festivals in Atlanta, Georgia showcasing the strong Southeast Punk Scene and bands associated with the label. This festival was revised and relocated in 2004 to Austin, Texas and morphed in subsequent years into the "Chaos In Tejas" festival.
