About the Label

Refresh Records is an independent record label with a simple goal: To help the artists we love take their next step in the music world.

Founded in 2015 by Josh Higgins, Refresh Records was born from a long history with the DIY side of the music industry. After booking his first show at the age of 14 with his mother running the door, Josh's passion for music grew and expanded over the years. He began regularly booking shows and tours across the east coast, collectively ran a small music venue with some friends, wrote music reviews for zines and the internet, and even released a couple 7" records under a small, long defunct label name. Although that record label rapidly crashed and burned (as often happens when you're young, dumb, and broke), the idea never extinguished. It was that little flame that eventually evolved into Refresh Records.

Originally focused on spotlighting music in the Southeast region of the US, Refresh Records has grown to include artists from all over the country. We don't prescribe to any specific genre and we don't have a formula for any relationship or release. The DIY ethos is still at the core of everything we do, and it's our pleasure to facilitate the creative growth of every artist that joins our family.

FAQs
