Get Better Records is an American independent record label based in Philadelphia.[1][2][3][4][5] The label was founded by Alex Lichtenauer in 2006 and is now co-run by Ally Einbinder and Jenna Pup.[6][7][8] Their stated aim is to "reverse the constant underrepresentation of the queer arts community, with a specific focus on punk, hardcore, and alternative rock music".[9] An article in Philadelphia similarly described it as "queer forward".[10]
In 2017, the label released a compilation album titled A Benefit Comp to Help Pay Medical Bills for Those Activists Fighting Against Fascism and Racism, proceeds from which were donated to victims of the Charlottesville car attack and Hurricane Harvey.[11][12]
In June 2020, the label donated its Bandcamp profits to a bail fund based in Philadelphia and Black and Pink.[13]
