From Wikipedia - Reading time: 2 min
Burnt Oak Records was a Canadian independent collective and record label based in Guelph, Ontario and co-founded in 2005 by Brad MacInerny, Ryan Newell and Jia Qing Wilson-Yang.[1] Known for a do-it -yourself approach to music and arts, the founding group lived and operated out of 127 Grange St. in Guelph.[2] They hosted pay-what-you-can shows, recorded their own music, handmade album covers and booked their own tours.[1][3]
By late 2007, the label had released 20 full-length albums and EPs by founding members as well as artists such as Richard Laviolette, Griffin Epstein, Slow Hand Motëm, Elbow Beach Surf Club and Green Go.[1] Laviolette's "127 Grange" on his album A Little Less Like a Rock, A Little More Like Home was a nod to the collective.[2] The album was released by Burnt Oak in 2006.[4]
