REFUSE RECORDS

Bio:

Refuse started as a project related with hardcore / straight edge / punk scene in Warsaw, Poland in february of 1993. Firstly as a fanzine and bookings, then tape-label and then record label.
Main goals were supporting DIY / hc/punk / political activities in the local and international scene.
One of the reasons has been promoting straight edge in the hc/punk scene, as a integral part of Hardcore Punk scene with progressive, pro-vegan, positive and political approach. No Hardline, no homophobia, no sexism.
So far over 60 releases are out on Refuse Records, many shows and tours done and festivals like as "Straight Edge Fest" (1995-1997), "Noc Walpurgii" (from 1996), "All Ages" (2006) and "Open HC Fest" (2001-2008).
