Started during the "Halifax is the Seattle of the north" phenomenon[1] of the 1990s, No Records released cassettes by Chaz Rules,[2] Halifax hip-hop pioneers Hip Club Groove, Essen (featuring Mike Catano on drums, who later formed North of America), punk stalwarts Donner Party Reunion,[3] and Stinkin' Rich, who later performed as Buck 65.
[4] In 1996, the label started releasing CDs, the first of which were by power pop band the Grace Babies[5] and the internationally successful Cool Blue Halo.
[6] The late '90s and early 21st century saw the label release several critically well received CDs, cassettes and 8 tracks[7] by artists such as the briefly famous Toronto group Len, Strawberry, Vancouver's Readymade and Dusty Sorbet.
The company created a sister imprint, Cease and Desist in 2000[8] to release some albums orphaned by the collapse of Marc Costanzo of Len's Four Ways to Rock record label.
