Bongo Beat Records. Montreal. Distributed by Burnside (USA), Outside Music (Canada), New Music (Germany), Sonic Rendezvous (Holland) and Proper Music Distribution (UK). In the USA, also available through Baker and Taylor and all similar sub-distributors. We are also a book publisher and our first book, Treat Me Like Dirt (An Oral History of Toronto Punk & Beyond 1977-1981) is now in its third printing. Our focus on the label is always strong writers and artists exploring new areas. We are not constrained by any one genre and that is both a blessing and a problem for those who would like to easily pigeon-hole us.
