Fierce Panda Records
Fierce Panda Records is a London, England based independent record label.
They had their first release in February of 1994. That year they produced a small amount of releases by now famous artists such as Ash, The Bluetones, and Supergrass. Fierce Panda is also credited with releases by Coldplay, Seafood, Art Brut, Keane, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Polyphonic Spree.
In the autumn of 1997 Fierce Panda formed the sub-label Rabid Badger Records to release more Dance oriented music, and in spring 1998 the sub-label Livid Meerkat to put out post-rock music.
Fierce Panda is especially well known for the compilation albums and EPs; these are traditionally named after a pun, and are usually deleted on the day of release. A list of these and some of the most famous bands featured is below.
