[edit] Origin
Moshpit Tragedy began in the mid nineties booking local punk concerts in Windsor Ontario Canada. The name came about after one of these shows when co-founder Rayny Forster was brought to the emergency room and a doctor dubbed him a "moshpit tragedy." It wasn't until early 2006 that the first releases on the label were issued.[1] Later that year the label moved to Montreal, Quebec.
In 2007 the label abandoned releasing cds in favour of a new sliding scale download format in which fans could pay as much or as little as they want to - even free - for a high quality mp3 album with print-ready sleeve artwork. Several notable musicians people have recently shown public support of this, including Ozzy Osbourne bassist Blasko and Eyehategod frontman Mike Williams.[2]
