Love Police Records

Love Police Records or Love Police Records and Tapes is an independent record label based in Surry Hills, New South Wales.[1] It was founded by Brian Taranto in September 2004 as a concept born from a t-shirt design, who was then joined by Andy Kent (of You Am I).[1] One of their earliest signings was the Cops, which issued an album, Stomp on Tripwires (September 2004).[2][3]

In September 2004 Taranto explained why he had started the label, "We started a label because we loved the Cops' demos so much, and we could also see the potential of future releases that involved international artists we tour. It was more of a case of 'Why not, we can do this ourselves' than some master plan to be independent."[2]

The motto for Love Police Records is: "stop talkin crap, record it, package it, put it out... someone will like it." Love Police Records are distributed by Reverberation in Australia and New Zealand.
