ESTRUS RECORDS world headquarters is located in beautiful Bellingham, Washington. Founded in 1987 the label has tirelessly promoted its bands, predominately on vinyl, amassing a hugely loyal following as well as being an influence on music ever since.

Often called a garage rock label Estrus doesn’t fit any one genre—its pure unadulterated love of music and culture is its essence and gives it longevity and relevance few labels ever attain.

There is no way to sum up the importance of Estrus, if you know you know. If you don’t, buy the book—don’t wait for the movie. However, you can see both Art Chantry (who created much of the look of Estrus) with Dave Crider (founder) in the movie Hype now available on Amazon Prime of all places!
