About us
Along with the blooming artists to come.
Founded in March 2015 by Jordan Calvi in Toulouse, France, and later relocated to Berlin, Germany and later in Långshyttan in Sweden, KROD RECORDS is an independent, DIY record label built for the underground punk rock and hardcore community.
KROD stands for Keine Rose ohne Dornen, German for "No rose without thorns."
It’s an ethos that defines everything we do. The underground scene isn't easy; it takes grit, persistence, and late nights to build something meaningful. But nothing worth doing comes without a few thorns.
Our artists have been featured on the biggest playlists and press outlets such as Alternative Magazine, Rocksound, Kerrang!, Visions, OX Fanzine, FUZE, New Noise, Spotify's Volume Maximo, Top of The Rock. Best of Rock Rotation, Deezer's Women of Metal, Hot New Rock, Punk!, Amazon's Punk Scene and more.
From local basements to international tours, we back the artists defining the future of punk and hardcore.
