Harmless Records existed from September of 1993 to September(ish) of 2004, and in that time released 40 records by a wide variety of mostly Chicago-area independent artists. We still sell our backstock (details below), but we're not going to be releasing anything else. Thanks for all of the support over the years.

UPDATE - 9/19/08 -

- 1,000 Flowers, the distro arm of Mutant Pop Records, is back up and running. They had a lot of now out-of-print Harmless releases when they shut things down, so now is your chance to pick up copies of a few releases that have been gone for a long time - Mushuganas "Dropout Girl", Traitors "I'm So Happy...", Connie Dungs "Missy and Johnny", etc. And it's not just Harmless stuff either. It's a veritable time machine of pop punk, so be sure and have a look. Just go to www.mutantpop.com and click "stuff for sale".

- We’re back to handling orders ourselves now that Redline Distribution has closed up shop. We still have the same closeout prices though, and it’s a pretty damn good deal if we do say so ourselves.

All prices are post-paid in the U.S. Please get in touch for international rates.

7" - $2
LP - $5
CD - $6
CDEP - $4

We accept online orders via Paypal and good old-fashioned mailorder. For paypal orders, send payment to harmlessrecords at gmail and just list what you are ordering in the memo. For mailorder, please email with what you’d like (same address) and we’ll get back to you with some options.

Here’s a quick list of what’s still available. Please go to the catalog section if you’d like to see the record covers, read the descriptions, hear sample MP3s, etc. Some of these are available in limited quantities, so feel free to ask about availability before ordering.
