In 2011, the first releases from the Buzz Records collective were live recordings from the venue; a series titled "Live@The Garage".[2] The Garage was closed down in 2012 but the label continued to release local, underground records in the cassette format.[3]
Buzz Records is a collective, co-founded by Denholm Whale, Ian Chai, Dean Tzenos and Erik Jude.[1]

The label has had showcases at Toronto's North by North East (NXNE) and New York City's CMJ.[2][6] Canadian brewery Steam Whistle has collaborated with the record label for their Unsigned Music Series.[7][8]
