Burning Heart Records is an independent record label formed in 1993 in Fagersta, Sweden, and currently based in Örebro.[1] It has a close affiliation with Californian label Epitaph Records, who own the rights to distribute Burning Heart's output in North America. It also started a German office in Berlin in the end of 2003.[2]
Burning Heart has proven very successful in launching European (especially Swedish) bands to a global audience. Their successes have included The Hives, Turbonegro, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Millencolin, No Fun at All and Refused. The label focuses on punk music,[3] but has also released rock, ska, noise and hip hop records.[4]
