Rodent Popsicle Records is a Boston-based DIY punk and hardcore record label established in 1992! Originally the label was only formed to release a couple of records for Boston area bands including our own. We never expected at that point to grow into the label we are today, so the choice of a name was never taken seriously, but it stuck. Eventually we began releasing other friends' bands on the label and soon enough it was a full-time endeavor.

Right around the year 2000, we began releasing bands from all around the world and we decided to take the label more seriously than ever before! At that point, all of our releases were done as professionally as any other label and we released our first 12inch LP and DVD on the label. Though our focus was DIY punk and hardcore, we did not want to limit ourselves to releasing music of that genre only. We have released a wide variety of different bands and most of the bands are friends of ours long before we put something out for them. Most of the bands we release are hardworking and constantly touring, but musically span all the genres of punk rock. In our opinion, the true ethic of punk was not to look and sound the same, so we continue release music that we like regardless of what other people might think.
