Rabid Turtle Records is an artist-first, independent record label proudly based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Rabid Turtle Records
Originally founded in 2017 by Kyle Smith to help with a DIY physical release of a band’s first single, RTR is a regional micro label with a lot of love for the indie underground.
We amplify artists through creative, short-run physical releases and live shows.
Our releases are a diverse curation of new independent music, focused on connecting regional artists with rabid underground music fans.
