When Three Ring Records was formed in 2003, it was one of our goals to expand into a collective of like-minded labels who share some of our core philosophies: helping struggling bands with the talent but not the direction to release music on their own, enlisting bands as a "family", and supporting community efforts. Here are Three Ring's label partners:


500 Records

It is with pleasure that we introduce a fine addition to our ever-expanding family: 500 Records! San Francisco's own 500 Records, a dynamic record label, is brought to us by our mighty friends (and current Three Ring / 500 band) Form and Fate, and is sure to be an instant winner in the Bay Area indie scene. While Three Ring has leaned a bit more towards indie-pop, 500 Records is sure to sate your craving for the more esoteric.

500 Records is an artist run record label whose staff is all a part of the San Francisco indie music scene. 500 Records was established in 2005 as a music collective, to help artists and bands who did not have the attention of a legitimate record label. Over the past 3 years they have worked with many great bands and have increased their usefulness to bands by moving towards being a legitimate record label. In September 2008, they partnered with Three Ring Records, whose experience and enthusiasm for local music has allowed 500 Records to secure full national and international distribution in both the physical and digital realm.

Mission Freak Records

We are pleased to announce a partnership with Iowa City, Iowa's Mission Freak Records. Based in the eastern corner of the state that paved the way for our new president, Mission Freak Records is a label and collective dedicated to the development of the Midwest music scene. Working with a number of musicians in several different genres ranging from indie rock to experimental dance music, Mission Freak is giving voice to the next generation of artists from America's heartland.

The owners of the Mission Freak label are the same people who put on Iowa City's Mission Creek Festival, an event that has earned a reputation as one of the best festivals at which to hear daring new music, even before it reaches the underground-gazing eyes of the likes of Pitchfork and Stereogum. Bringing their love for discovering unknown music through promotion, Mission Freak Records now supports the recorded endeavors of independent music's next wave.
