Popfrenzy

In 2003, Popfrenzy started to bring overseas acts to Australia, as well establishing their own record label. The first two releases were from Camera Obscura and Les Savy Fav. They also started and ran an independent record store between mid-2005 and mid-2006 in Surry Hills, Sydney, called Gifted Records. In 2006 Popfrenzy issued a music magazine, Moss, edited by Tommy Thran, but it was short-lived. In 2012 Popfrenzy joined Cooperative Music in order to be able to promote domestic artists internationally. The label had previously been distributed by Inertia since early 2009. In 2014 they announced an arrangement with Béchamel Records to start releasing vinyl records, with the first release being Brisbane band, Per Purpose.
