Lövely Records is an independent label from Linköping, Sweden.
They’ve been releasing and promoting alternative music and culture since 2015.
Since the release of punk outfit Rotten Mind’s exceptional debut album ‘I’m Alone Even With You’, which marked the beginning of our lovely musical journey, they’ve been putting out more than 60 releases.
Ranging from genres such as ’80s/’90s inspired, guitar driven alternative rock and fast paced punk and hardcore, to bittersweet indie rock and psychedelic pop.
The common variable in our label’s sound and vision has always been, and will always be, working with music and artist with a genuine love for what they do and the music they write, no matter how niche or unorthodox the music may be.
Besides our focus region of the Nordics, we’ve also had the pleasure of working with bands from other European countries like Italy and France, and we’re always on the lookout for new exciting bands.
They’ve put together a Bandcamp compilation featuring a selection of Lövely Records releases from the past couple of years.
This compilation is a great way to get to know their recent catalogue and discover new amazing bands.
