Buzz Records is a Canadian-based independent record label with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario.[1] The label evolved out of the underground performance space, The Garage. In 2011, the first releases from the Buzz Records collective were live recordings from the venue; a series titled "Live@The Garage".[2] The Garage was closed down in 2012 but the label continued to release local, underground records in the cassette format.[3]

Buzz Records is a collective, co-founded by Denholm Whale, Ian Chai, Dean Tzenos and Erik Jude.[1]

The documentary Untold Noise, which focused on the Toronto noise punk scene,[4] features interviews with Buzz Records co-founder Denholm Whale and Buzz Record signees, HSY.[5]

The label has had showcases at Toronto's North by North East (NXNE) and New York City's CMJ.[2][6] Canadian brewery Steam Whistle has collaborated with the record label for their Unsigned Music Series.[7][8]

In 2017 the label received two Juno Award nominations, one for Dilly Dally's "Sore" and one for Weaves' self-titled debut album.[9]
