Overview

Concrete Jungle Records is a German independent record label and mailorder business specialising in punk, rock and hardcore punk. The Concrete Jungle logo first appeared in September 2004 on the Rejected Youth EP 'No Police State Coalition', released on the then-associated independent label MSM1279 and distributed through Broken Silence Independent Distribution. From that point Concrete Jungle Records operated as a mailorder, and in March 2005 it opened a physical record shop of the same name in the Gostenhof district of Nuremberg. In February 2007 MSM1279 was discontinued and its entire label catalogue was taken over by Concrete Jungle Records, which has since acted officially as an independent label in its own right. The record shop was closed in summer 2007, and in 2009 the name Concrete Jungle Records was licensed to F&M Feral Media GbR, a company that also includes the German punk independent label Aggressive Punk Produktionen. Distribution has been handled in Germany, Austria and Switzerland by Edel since 2011, in the United Kingdom and Ireland by Plastic Head Distribution, in the Benelux by Sonic Rendezvous, in Scandinavia by Sound Pollution, and in the United States and Canada by Cobraside since 2013. Digital distribution has been managed by Kontor New Media since 2011. The label's catalogue focuses on punk, rock and hardcore punk, with releases from artists such as Death By Stereo, Booze & Glory, Landmvrks, The Peacocks, Adolescents, The Turbo A.C.'s, March, Flower Leperds, Meanbirds and Authority Zero. Its official website presents current releases, artist rosters and shop/stream links, and the label also maintains a presence on Discogs. Concrete Jungle Records remains an active independent label and mailorder operation within the German and international punk scene.
