Fishrider Records is a music label based in Dunedin, New Zealand.[1][2] It was established in 2006 by Ian Henderson. The label styles itself as a "micro-independent" or "underground" label, releasing psychedelic pop and no-wave music.[3][4] Henderson plays drums for The Puddle, who are currently released on Fishrider Records. Henderson was previously a freelance music writer who wrote for the Southland Times newspaper in Invercargill between 1985 and 1997[5] and also for 1980s/90s Dunedin music fanzines Garage[6] and Alley Oop.
Artists on Fishrider Records include The Puddle, Robert Scott and The Dark Beaks, alongside younger up-and-coming acts Opposite Sex,[7][8] Trick Mammoth, Males, and The Prophet Hens.[9] In 2012 the label partnered with Occultation Recordings to co-release New Sacral by Factory Star, the band led by The Fall/Blue Orchids founder Martin Bramah.[10]
