Burnt Oak Records was a Canadian independent collective and record label based in Guelph, Ontario and co-founded in 2005 by Brad MacInerny, Ryan Newell and Jia Qing Wilson-Yang.
[1] Known for a do-it -yourself approach to music and arts, the founding group lived and operated out of 127 Grange St. in Guelph.
[2] They hosted pay-what-you-can shows, recorded their own music, handmade album covers and booked their own tours.
[1][3] By late 2007, the label had released 20 full-length albums and EPs by founding members as well as artists such as Richard Laviolette, Griffin Epstein, Slow Hand Motëm, Elbow Beach Surf Club and Green Go.
[1] Laviolette's "127 Grange" on his album A Little Less Like a Rock, A Little More Like Home was a nod to the collective.
