Fortissimo Records is an independent record label and promoting collective from Milton Keynes, England run by Action Beats Don McLean.
Taking their name from the Italian musical term for "very loud" (see Dynamics (music)), Fortissimo was formed in 2002, arranging gigs at Bletchley Youth Club, in Milton Keynes. They then moved to releasing CDs and lps by bands from the Milton Keynes area, having now 10 releases, and arranging gigs for touring bands from the UK and USA. In 2009 the label released the album Patterns of the Boston noise band Neptune. In 2010, Fortissimo has released a vinyl re-issue of Glenn Branca's 1981 album The Ascension[1] and the first solo album album Mate of former Action Beat member Peter James Taylor.
