No Records

No Records was a Canadian record label and distributor based in Halifax, Nova Scotia from January 1993 to August 2004. It was founded by Waye Mason. Started during the "Halifax is the Seattle of the north" phenomenon of the 1990s, No Records released cassettes by Chaz Rules, Halifax hip-hop pioneers Hip Club Groove, Essen (featuring Mike Catano on drums, who later formed North of America), punk stalwarts Donner Party Reunion, and Stinkin' Rich, who later performed as Buck 65. In 1996, the label started releasing CDs, the first of which were by power pop band the Grace Babies and the internationally successful Cool Blue Halo.
