UNFD (pronounced 'U-N-F-D') is a Record Label based in Melbourne Australia that formed from the then merging of Boomtown Records and Staple Management. The label launched on 1 January 2011 by Jaddan Comerford^[1] and has had success with The Amity Affliction, The Getaway Plan, Dream On, Dreamer, Northlane and others. In September 2013, UNFD re-branded to once again separate UNFD (Record Label) and the new WAU Management. Both the label and management belong under the newly established parent group UNIFIED.^[2]

UNFD's first release was Dream On, Dreamer's 'Heartbound' on 5 August 2011. The album debuted at #38 on the ARIA Charts and was nominated for Best Heavy Rock Album Of The Year at the ARIA Music Awards.

In April 2013, the label released Northlane's hit album Singularity via a marketing campaign that was critically acclaimed across Australian media.^[3] The album debuted at #3 on the ARIA Charts.^[4] Shortly after, UNFD announced the signing of Gold Record artist Dead Letter Circus,^[5] and also announced that The Amity Affliction's "Chasing Ghosts" album had been certified gold in Australia.^[6]

In August 2013 the label had major success with Dead Letter Circus' album The Catalyst Fire reaching #2 on the ARIA charts.^[7] Following from this success, the label announced the return of Bodyjar with a new album to be released 4 October.^[8]
