Moshpit Tragedy Records
Moshpit Tragedy Records is an independent record label which releases punk, metal and some of their subgenres (crust, SLUDGE, etc).
Origin
Moshpit Tragedy began in the mid nineties booking local punk concerts in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The name came AbOUT after one of these shows when founder Rayny Forster was brought to the emergency room and a doctor dubbed him a "moshpit tragedy." It wasn't until early 2006 that the first releases on the label were issued. Later that year the label moved to Montreal, Quebec.
In 2007, the label abandoned releasing cds in favour of a new sliding scale download format in which fans could pay as much or as little as they want to - even free - for a high quality mp3 album with print-ready sleeve artwork. Several notable musicians have recently shown public support of this, including Ozzy Osbourne bassist, Blasko and Eyehategod frontman, Mike Williams.
