Fiddler Records is an independent record label that historically served as a launch pad for several artists quintessential to the emo, pop, punk, and hardcore genres of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Starting as the brainchild of 16-year-old entrepreneur Amy Fleisher Madden in 1996, the label became well known for its early releases from marquee artists Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory. Over the course of ten years (in its first incarnation), Fiddler Records developed a steady roster of successful artists such as The Bled, The Higher, Recover, Juliette & The Licks, Name Taken, and more.
The label lives on in spirit, spoken about lovingly in green rooms and backstages by a small yet legendary group of who’s who’s—remembering simpler times and old friends. Its current state is a retrospective one, releasing vinyl of its most treasured releases, and making dead stock available to the few who remember the good old days.
