New Underground Records was an American independent record label founded by Danny Phillips (a.k.a. Danny Dean[1]) and Gary Kail.[2] Phillips and Kail were influenced by D. Boon and Mike Watt's New Alliance Records label and decided to create their own to promote bands they knew.[2] Alongside New Alliance, New Underground was one of the first DIY labels in the South Bay punk scene of the 1980s.[1]
