Fearless Records is an alternative rock-oriented record label that, according to their website, has been signing artists since 1994. They are based out of Westminster, California. Fearless is perhaps best known for their early punk and pop-punk captured in the Fearless Flush Sampler and Punk Bites releases and releases by bands like Bigwig and Dynamite Boy and later Sugarcult and Plain White T's, ska releases by The Aquabats and post-hardcore releases by At the Drive-In. However, the label has experimented with different styles in recent years. Acts like Rock Kills Kid, Mayday Parade, Alesana and the The Maine have showcased post-hardcore, emo and alternative bands that have emerged in recent years.
