Budyhead Records is an independent record label from Hollywood, California that was started in 2000 and sprouted from the popular irreverent website of the same name, Buddyhead, which was launched in 1998. It is the project of Travis Keller and Aaron North and has released records by various bands such as: Modwheelmood, Wires On Fire, Shat, The Cassettes, Ink & Dagger, The Icarus Line, Burning Brides, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Your Enemies Friends, The Mean Reds, 400 Blows, Text, At the Drive-In, Murder City Devils and Radio Vago. Buddyhead Records is also known for the release of the Gimmie Skelter compilation which featured bands such as: Primal Scream, Mudhoney, Iggy Pop, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wire, Weezer, Dead Meadow, Le Tigre and others among controversial prank-calls to music-industry luminaries thus extending their "no holds barred" approach to Lester Bangs-style music journalism/activism that the initial Buddyhead website is known for. In addition to CDs, Buddyhead Records released a DVD compilation entitled "Buddyhead Presents: Punk Is Dead" through Image Entertainment which featured music videos from Tv On The Radio, The Jesus Lizard, Singapore Sling, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Turbonegro, The Locust, British Sea Power, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Fiery Furnaces & others.
