ANTI FADE records is a record label run by Billy Gardner based in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
The first release for the record label was a limited edition C30 cassette by The Bonniwells titled "Sunny Brick" in 2011, and they have since put out over 80 releases, with Henry Rollins said to be a fan.[1]
Since its incarnation ANTI FADE has released records by Parsnip, Alien Nosejob, Bananagun, and Cereal Killer, which has led the label gain a strong local popularity, with Geelong's Forte called them "one of Australia’s best-loved independent labels...[and] Australia’s best export for garage, punk, shoegaze and psych".[2]
The label also hosts their annual Jerk Fest, held at the Barwon Club Hotel in Geelong since 2014,[3] and has curated events for Melbourne Music Week.[4]
In 2020 the label expanded into coloured vinyl releases for the first time, which were eagerly bought up by fans.[5] The following year ANTI FADE's warehousing space was damaged in a fire.[6] A fundraiser t-shirt were released,[2] and the label continued to put out new releases. But Billy Gardner also noted tthat he ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Victoria meant 2021 could see fewer releases from ANTI FADE, with bands unable to play together or record.[5]
