What Is Stomp Records and What Does the Website Offer?

Updated

Stomp Records (stomprecords.com) is an independent record label, booking agency, and music management company based in Montreal, active since 1995. Its catalog and roster focus on ska, punk, rock, and rock-and-roll. The site serves as a hub for the label's artists, releases, tours, and store, with a French-language option alongside English.

What the label does

Stomp Records describes itself as a "full-service" operation covering three connected functions:

  • Record label — releasing albums and singles from its roster of ska-punk and rock acts.
  • Booking agency — handling live bookings for its artists.
  • Music management — managing artist careers as part of the same "family."

This combination means the site is not just a storefront; it is also where tour information and booking contacts live.
